This is my go-to hotel when I want to stay in the Quarter. The rooms are all unique, and I absolutely love the courtyard in the middle of the property. It's also just far enough away from Bourbon Street, though only a few blocks, to be quiet and relaxing.

This property is in a perfect location! It was easy to safely get to plenty of shops, restaurants & attractions in the area. The court yard was gorgeous. Only a few things kept this stay from being perfect- our AC in an interior/no window room just could not keep up, so it needs servicing. We kept it on 67 (the lowest it would go), and the temp ranged from 72-76. FYI, there is a skylight in the interior room- nice, but not if you try to relax or nap during the day, because the room was SO bright even with no other windows. We could also hear the elevator running every time- not loud, but definitely noticeable and obnoxious at times, even with a sound machine on, so make sure you bring something to drown out those noises. I mistakenly thought the interior room would be dark & quiet, but that just wasn't always the case. Staff was polite & smiling. Others staying at the hotel smoked MJ a lot in the court yard, and I am not a fan of the smell at all, so that was also annoying. The room was clean, the bed was firmer than I prefer but pillows soft and we slept decently for our 3 nights there. The interior room was private right off a stairwell, so didn't hear people coming and going. We didn't test out the pool, but it was small and in their courtyard, so a really pretty scene with vending in the pool room. Overall, very pleased with our stay and the location for the price. Easy access to PJ's coffee next door- necessary because our Keurig was not working.Def recommend this hotel!

Seriously, I never post things like this but this was one of the most enjoyable hotel stays I've ever had. The place is LITERALLY steps away from every attraction and area of interest, didn’t uber once, except to and from airport. The room and inner courtyard were both gorgeous, the staff treated me like an old friend, and it somehow managed to be peaceful and safe just steps from all the Bourbon craziness. What a fantastic place.

We really enjoyed our stay at the French Market Inn. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel itself was clean and well taken care of. The area was in walking distance to everything you'd want to experience in the French Quarter and close enough to catch the street cars. The highlight was the courtyard of the hotel, which was quiet, serene, and scenic. We would definitely stay here again.
