Property looks nice from outside but as soon as you enter you get hit by a strong musty odor which seeps into everything you brought in.Air conditioner is as loud as taking off airplane. Bathroom was renovated and nice,big enough fridge and sink in the room was nice.Furniture is antic as expected but dirty bedcovers should not even be legally permissible in Covid environment. Location is nice and easy walk to restaurants.

January stay..

We requested a queen size bed and was given an full instead so not as comfortable as expected. The heating and air was controlled for two rooms and located in hall which made a small inconvenience. But really enjoyed the quietness and relaxation of the stay.. Amenities of bed and breakfast was good except no breakfast, the advertising of bed and breakfast might need to be changed. We will stay again if opportunity to visit New Orleans arises for us.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel smelled musty, like it might have had mildew issues. There was no elevator and our room was on the second floor. The stairs were narrow and had a curve in it making it difficult to carry the bags. I also have issues with my hip sometimes making it hard to climb stairs and it would have been good to be warned of this before booking. We loved the character of the room, but there were cobwebs in the corners and the ceiling fan hadn't been dusted in quite a while. There really wasn't a place to put toiletries in the bathroom. Kind of weird when we discovered that there was no staff at the hotel overnight should we have needed anything. The staff was very friendly, and it was fun to see such a beautiful area of New Orleans before heading out on our cruise.

The hotel is changing ownership and renovations have not begun. I would add more trash cans in the room. There was only 1 small one in the bathroom. The outside of the tub needs to be cleaned. Beds were comfortable but squeaky and more pillows please. Staff is wonderful. Couldn't ask for better. All in all this was a good stay. I will be back once renovations are done. Fantastic location. Parades block away.

False advertising! The photos for each of the themed rooms do not match the reality of what you get. Everything is run down and falling apart. After 5:00pm, there is no staff on premise until after 9:00am the next day. The Garden District is beautiful and reasonably priced for the location.

Beautiful but needs TLC

What beautiful hotel, which needs a lot of TLC. Unfortunately during our one night stay, there was no heat nor hot water. The mattress and pillows need replacement and there is a lot of repairs needed at this place. The manager did try to assist with the heat but due to the parades was not able.

The Magnolia Mansion Experience

Our stay was amazing. Loved the stunning Magnolia Mansion, it felt like it belonged to us. Very quiet and private. We were able to walk around to view the entire Mansion taking pictures without anyone bothering us. We also felt extremely safe outside the Mansion. We would love to visit again, and I highly recommend the Magnolia Mansion to others. My only critique is that it would be incredible to have a simple hot breakfast in the morning. That would be the only thing I would add, which would elevate the stay to the next level. Regardless, I truly enjoyed my stay. The Magnolia Mansion was a perfect Valentines/Mardi Gras getaway with my husband.

The reservation clerk doesn't seem to know what she's doing or was trying to scam my credit card. She called the day before I was to arrive and informed me that my credit card had not cleared. I informed her it was charged by my bank. Luckily, I had all my paperwork and then she was quick to assure me my room was paid for. When I arrived earlier than expected she acted as though she didn't know me and that my reservation must be under another name after just taking to me 24 hrs prior. No staff was seen when we arrived nor when we checked out. It was all self service.

It is a beautiful old mansion, but the heating/cooling system is weird, there is really no proprietor to offer information or assistance in the evenings or early mornings. It is like a mauseleum inside. Weird music, empty and dead.
