Our experience at French Quarter Inn was fabulous!! We had two spacious rooms that were very clean and were serviced twice a day. We were amazed by the amenities. The continental breakfast and nightly wine and cheese were included. The staff hospitality was the best part. The front desk ladies greeted us with warm welcomes and glasses of champagne. Please don’t change a thing at French Quarter Inn because we can’t wait to come back!

I can’t say enough great things about The French Quarter Inn. The best service ever! Staff took care of all our needs like sending a text daily to see how things were going. Anything that we asked they graciously provided. The lady who cleaned our room was Graciela. She was friendly and did a great job taking care of us. She spoke very highly of the hotel and how the hotel took great care of them so that we as guest could also be taken cared of. It was awesome. Luxury hotel care with true Southern hospitality.

Very clean hotel with attentive staff in a perfect location. Kimberly, at the front desk, was very helpful though she could use the help of a concierge. Not an easy task to wear both hats but she balanced both. Izzy was lots of fun at the bar. I had a small issue and Kristen and the rest of the staff more than made up for it. My only negative is that the shade in my room really needed replacing as it was held together with large safety pins, and kind of an eyesore. Would definitely return.
