French Settlement Vacations

We loved our stay at the Richelou! Staff were helpful; we stayed 5 nights and they were great about getting our room freshened up each day, the saltwater pool was lovely, and the bartender knew how to mix a drink. The location was perfect --near Frenchman Street for music and in the quarter for some good food. A great place.

There are pros and cons. Pros The staff are all absolutely Amazing! Everyone was so nice. The location is great to walk all the Fench Quarter. The room I had was very large. Cons 1. There is no elevator which is fine but if you are unable to use stairs then make sure to book a ground floor room. 2. The front door was broken when we got there so anyone could walk in and that was a bit unsettling. They did fix the front door the last day of my stay. (Pic incl) 3. The courtyard could use some work. The fountain looks green and slimy and could use some landscaping. 4. In my room you couldn't close the bathroom door all the way so no privacy. (Pic incl) 5. In my room I couldn't use the lamp because there was no plug in. (Pic incl) 6. In my room there were two TVs but you could only use one at a time and to use the living room TV presented a scary trip hazard because the plug dangled across the entry way (pic incl) 7. In my room the desk chair is old and falling apart (Pic incl) 8. In my room the balcony view was not a view (Pic incl) 9. In my room the bed sheets had something gross on them (Pic incl) 10. In my room the shower only had hot water so we couldn't shower after our twelve hour drive which was awful. 11. The shower head is for a 7 ft person so with me being 5'4 had to get on tippy toes and jump to move it in a different direction. 12. I was told there was free parking spots availablable but it was limited. Limited it was. I had to pay $160 so budget for that.

The property is poorly maintained. Coach ripped, bathroom sink did not drain, curtain missing from one window, nail protruding from the floor (cut my foot). and had to pound the nail with a knife handle, iron did not heat, one elevator was not in service. The room I paid for was not available because my sister could not access the stairs. Very disappointing.
