Nice hotel. Staff was very friendly at check in. We received a champagne welcome and enjoyed the daily wine and cheese reception and evening cookies. Hotel was a good location for us. The beds were comfortable, there was a pillow menu and the bathroom was huge; however the room was a little dark. Overall, would stay here again!

The French Quarter was a beautiful hotel with a great complimentary breakfast! The cookies and milk in the evening were an added anticipated benefit. The best part was it's location to shopping, restaurants and the carriage ride. All were in walking distance of 1, 2, or 3 blocks! I have found my Happy Place!

A truly 5-star hotel with a luxurious feel. A couple of notes: (1) bed is super hard, and typically my husband and I like hard mattresses (2) It would be nice if they had moved their cheese and wine reception to 3pm. Right now it's at 5:30pm, which is typical dinner time

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.
