Excellent

Good location, cute house with porch and small garden, with a music bar on the property. House in need of TLC, I was afraid we’d walk through the wooden floor in some places! Music bar was really great! Did not appreciate remote check-in and lack of info. Only found drink tickets for the bar plus garden door keys when checking out

Great location, and easy to access! The bed was very uncomfortable, but everything else was good!
The house was clean and the instructions were good to get in and for the room. The mattress needs to be replaced in the Galorie room and there was a loud clanking noise outside the window with the wind blowing.
Great place to relax and enjoy yourself. Good music, (Saturday night). Our room was the Balcony. Very nice and yes, with a balcony. The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. The common areas downstairs are really enjoyable and have a warm ambience.
Downtown is literally across the street.
And really just across the street is Bordens ice cream. Banana splits, sundaes and more just like they were 45 years ago.
We will return.

For what this is- a hostel - it’s nice. A few things would have helped us as travelers so I do want to point out a few things.
It’s cold in the winter in the rooms. They have a space heater but it’s still cold. There are no drawers. I highly suggest - if you need drawers (like we do) there are none.
We also needed to plunge the toilet. So if you don’t know how to do that be aware!
There are also no windows. I thought there were some behind the curtains but- it’s boards. I wish I had known these things. It was very clean.
This property is unique in that it's a house with shared common spaces. Shared spaces include the kitchen, family room and dining room. It's connected to a music venue through the kitchen. We came to see a musician and it was delightful that he was hanging out in the kitchen with us between sets!
Great place. Room was huge and comfortable, even had my own little private balcony. Communication was excellent. So enjoyed the evening in the saloon with the Cajun jam!!
It was amazingly clean and super comfy. Great location and is in the middle of events like Mardi Gras parade. They are a contactless establishment but very easy to check in and thorough with what to do and always can be contacted during your stay by text and responds quickly. Loved that the salon was on property but is alittle noisy when trying to go to sleep but didn’t really bother us .

This home is a beautiful, historic home. It is a unique experience to be sure. I was a little concerned with the neighborhood when we pulled in, but once inside was happy about my choice. The only troubles we had really came from the unusually cold weather. We do not normally need space heaters, but this is an old home and the breakers kept tripping.
I’m afraid to share this review because it’ll bring proper praise to this place. The Blue Moon is absolutely magical. It’s entire concept is built around culture, community and music. Any adventure into this part of the world should include a stay in this truck special place.

Comfortable room with ice cold ac. Complicated check in and no TV's.
Funky old house with cool decorated rooms. My only complaint and it’s not really, but the house was cold and they did have space heaters going. Loved the outdoor areas even if the saloon wasn’t open. Very cool stay, would def recc to friends.
