Everything was great / location was perfect. Would definitely stay there again.
Perfect location, very charming. Located away from Bourbon street, but close enough to everything else within walking distance. Staff were very friendly.
Everything was amazing! From front staff to bellmen to housekeeping. Great location, very clean property and AMAZING location for the French Quarter Festival. Highly recommend and will be staying here again next year for the Fest!
I enjoyed my stay at the French Market Inn! The staff were friendly, and I loved the courtyard area. It’s a great place to relax, read, etc. You are close to all the major sites in the Quarter.
Rooms are cozy and ac works well. The staff was fantastic and parking near was plentiful. Location was perfect walking distance for all kinds of activities Nola style. Looking forward to our next stay!!!!
The staff were superb! The rooms AC worked well but the rooms themselves could have been a bit cleaner (lotsbof dust on the lamp shades) overall good experience.
The hotel is in a great location - close to the many areas within New Orleans and accessible to public transportation. It was clean, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We loved the courtyard for unwinding and the pool. We would definitely stay here again!
We had an interior room and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet after being out in the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street. We were close enough to walk pretty much anywhere we wanted to go and enjoyed all the dining options around the hotel.
