We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff at check in made it very easy. All the other staff we came across were very friendly and helpful. Sammy was great at helping with our luggage and with suggestions on where to eat. The hotel is near everything. I would recommend this hotel.

We loved our stay at the French Market Inn. We were in town to celebrate a bunch of friends turning 40. The location was perfect if your plan is to hang out in the French Quarter. The staff were amazing, incredibly helpful, engaging, friendly, and welcoming. The room was on the smaller side but perfect for the 3 nights we stayed. I would definitely stay there again.

The property is beautiful and exceptionally clean. Staff was friendly and the location can't be beat. The courtyard and pool were wonderful as well. Comfy beds, clean room, and so quiet and peaceful even though you're right in the middle of the Quarter. Will definitely stay again

The courtyard is a quiet, restful place to take a break from having fun in NOLA. The pool is salt water and just cool enough to be refreshing. The hotel is comfortable and clean and the staff are amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Charming design, friendly and helpful staff, gorgeous little courtyard and pool, impeccably clean simple room, super convenient location. You got the historic charm and New Orleans vibe, more b&b than hotel vibes, but the benefit of additional safety and in person assistance. Lovely and will return!
