⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Loved my stay! I had the BEST time at the French Market Inn in New Orleans! This place has the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and that classic French Quarter vibe. As soon as I walked in, it felt like I stepped into a cute hidden spot that only locals would know about. The location is 10/10 — right on Decatur Street, literally steps from the French Market, Cafe du Monde, Jackson Square, and all the fun. I walked everywhere and never once needed an Uber. The courtyard is honestly the star. It’s gorgeous, peaceful, full of plants, and has this small pool that’s perfect for a quick cool-off after walking around in the New Orleans heat. I found myself sitting out there way more than I expected. My room was clean, cozy, and had that historic feel without feeling old or outdated. Staff was super friendly, helped with recommendations, and made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. Only heads up: if you get a room facing the street, it can get a little noisy (it is the French Quarter, after all). But honestly, the energy just adds to the New Orleans experience. Overall, I’d 100% stay here again. Great vibe, great location, great people. If you want to be in the middle of the fun but still have a quiet place to chill, this hotel is the move!

The end itself was charming with a beautiful patio. We had breakfast and happy hour there during our stay. The staff was great, accommodating our needs and always very helpful. The rooms were clean and housekeeping was done daily. We were in the middle of French Quarter so it was a convenient hotel to stay at.

Parking was a night mare. Paid to park in the lot across the street thru the hotel and then a boot was placed on my car and the hotel would not do anything to assist the situation.
