New Orleans Hoteller i Treme

For a last minute booking it was better than sleeping on the street The room access was not great for having family to drop by everyone must be escorted into the lobby in order to reach your room, no cell service and the hotel wifi was beyond shoty having to go outside the entire property to use the phone/web

Price, $--- and somewhat close to Main Street in French quarter, about 15 minute walk Room #2 is next to front desk close to front door. Front desk people and friends talked/laughed till 3 AM and people came and went causing more noise. Room was dark. Ceiling fan wonbly Bathroom old with tiles missing and nasty caulking.

LOCATION!!! it's right at EVERTHING and walgreeens is across the main street 3 seconds walking! really convenient. There are some many things that went wrong with this reservation, 255 characters will not cover it. My room was not ready when i arrived, the staff was ill prepared and rude. 'breakfast' was a joke. They didn't even have fruit. AND there was no AC working

everything horrible experience

The hotel was quiet and with a reasonable breakfast. The staff was friendly and responsive to my needs. Good internet access included in the rate which is always a plus. For the level of comfort and amenities the price was slightly high. The surrounding area needs to be improved which makes access at night to this hotel somewhat problematic if you are not taking a cab.

I enjoyed the fact that this wasn't a luxurious hotel. We wanted an adventure, and the fact that this wasn't the the Hilton or a Double tree made the experience seem more authentic. The staff seemed a little like they were overwhelmed. It took a little while for them to organize everything to get us checked in.

The pool was great, very pretty courtyard. The rooms where very cozy and the hotel had good style Called us at 11pm wanting our car keys

the front desk staff was very pleasant the room was in very disrepair. The TV did not work, sink was not attached to wall, floors were falling apart, and bathroom was dirty

keep your expectations low and it's not that bad...

It is a basic but fine hotel, the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and the location was good. What more could I want for this price?

Walked to Amtrak station. Staff was friendly. Morning coffee was delicious. It was a bed, tv, shower-all I really needed. Please put some $$$ into it. Bathroom floor has fixed up piece that sank when you got in shower. Power outage in area, but that wasn't hotel's fault. They should def revise hotel into a hostel as fellow guest suggest. Should have been cheaper.

The other guests that I met on the patio.

I was in New Orleans and had running water and a roof over my head. Beds, bathrooms, and rooms were appalling, had to buy my own sheets, towels, and shower mat to make quarters livable. Location wasn't in the best neighborhood but not far from downtown.

NOTHING! It's the worst imaginable Roach motel. The second day we were there the tub would not drain and the hole in the ceiling leaked water every time we took a shower. We notified the staff that morning of the issues. When we returned that same evening nothing was done and the floor was completely flooded. We went back to complain and we were promptly helped. The same staff member I originally notified tried to revoke my deposit when I went to ask about coffee in my socks. I would not walk around the room barefooted. The floor was so dirty. The remote for the TV didn't work. I could go on and on.

We stayed at The Empress for Mardi Gras. The redeeming thing about it is its location. Walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. This place is undeniably cheap given this fact, so just be sure to plan a lot of activities that keep you out of it. This place should definitely advertise more as a hostel instead of a hotel. Rooms are literally a bed with a toilet nearby. The only small window is high off the ground in a random spot in the room. There is no central ventilation (common in old Nola houses though), so you may need to frequently adjust the window AC unit or the space heater you're provided. The tub flooded as we showered so we started each day knee-high in water. The mattress was plastic covered, which is understandable given where we were, but there were stains and cigarette burns on the linens. At the end of your stay, there will be a walk through to get your $10 deposit back and to make sure you did not steal any of the sandpapery towels. Oh, and don't expect any privacy as the walls are literally paper thin. And be warned that another practice here is that you'll need to leave the key at the front desk every time you leave. Not bad, just odd.
