I enjoyed staying here at the French Market Inn because it's surrounded by everything. Its so conveniently centered in the French Quarter that you step out into all you need. And it's also attached to an awesome coffee shop, PJ's Coffee. I'm definitely coming back to stay again.

I absolutely loved every aspect of this hotel! The building, the room design, the excellent location, and the fantastic staff all exceeded expectations. My only minor suggestion would be to switch to larger, refillable toiletries in containers instead of small, disposable bottles—it would provide better quantity and reduce plastic waste. Regardless, this hotel will be my first choice the next time I visit NOLA. Tip: Ditch the car! The hotel’s fantastic location puts you within walking distance of all the major attractions and streetcar stops, which is a huge bonus since parking in the area is prohibitively expensive.
