This hotel was just perfect.... Thi was the perfect hotel to stay in when you stay in NO! The girl at the front desk was very very helpfull! The room was so cozy. Reds and mahogonys everywhere... One of the best beds I have slept in @ a hotel. Next time we visit NO, we will stay @ the Frenchman again!

Even for the lower rates we paid, we were dissatisfied with our room!!! Spend the extra 20 or so dollars and get a better place to say is my suggestion! the floor in the room was so unclean upon arrival, with lots of handfulls of black human hair everywhere! it was a dust ridden room leaving us sick after the first night stay. the property has potential, but has some problems. the pool had a condom in it ! the small parking lot held probably 8 cars max and was so hard to get in and out of. if u have a bigger suv forget it, park somewhere else cause u arent gonna fit through the alley to the parking garage. our floors never got swept or mopped after asking several times. Some of the rooms we saw were very clean and others like ours were filthy. we beleive some of the cleaning staff was very lazy and some were'nt. breakfast wasnt bad at all. the day clerk was so kind and helpful, she deserves to be at a much better property! the shower was full of mold and rust, we had to were sandels! the water was ice cold in the shower the first day! the night we checked in, the young man in the office said he had to go as soon as we walked up to the counter to check in. he left us in the office by ouselves waiting to get our keys, paperwork, etc. for 10 min., until another employee arrived to take over his shift! we were shocked at this. we couldnt beleive it! it was a fri. nite at 10:50 pm and no one there to tell us where to park, or nothing until someone else arrived! we go to new orleans all the time, and have always enjoyed our nice stays at different hotels, but never will we stay at this hotel again!

We recently stayed at the Frenchman for the Krewe de Vieux parade, and it was most satisfactory! We stayed in the Queen suite, and it was a unique experience since I didn't expect to see stairs when I walked into the room. But the view out of the window was excellent! The room was also neat, clean, and odor-free. The staff was attentive and helpful with any "touristy" questions about the parade route. My family has been visiting New Orleans for years, and for the money we paid through [-] it was WELL WORTH THE MONEY! Parking was secure and FREE for bookit customers as well, but be warned it's limited to a first come first served basis.

To give an idea of proximity to surrounding locations, the hotel is three blocks from Bourbon St., three blocks from Margaritaville, five blocks from the Cafe Du Monde, and mere steps from the Hookah Cafe. It is, however, at the opposite end of the french quarter from Canal St. So if you want to shop Canal St., catch a cab. Don't sacrifice the parking garage.

The pool/hot tub area and courtyard was compact, but clean. An Arctic front kept me well away from outdoor water fun, but I plan to stay at the Frenchman again in the next 3 months, so I will make use of that area then.

We just came back from 5 nights in New Orleans where we had a suite at the Frenchmen. It was perfect - we had a loft with queen size bed for us and sofa bed and rollaway for my two boys. We didn't disturb them, they didn't disturb us. Only complaint was that when the sofa bed was pulled out, we had to climb over a sleeping teenager to get to the bathroom. We solved this problem by using the bathroom in the courtyard.

Breakfast was great - fresh and tasty pastries from the bakery down the street, great coffee, cereal and fruit, all served at a communal table in their dining room. It was fun to sit around drinking coffee and reading the paper with the other guests. Very nice feel.

We didn't try the pool or hot tub, but they looked inviting despite the 30 degree weather.

Location was great too and our room on the inside of the courtyard was pretty quiet. Snug Harbor was right down the street as well as at least 4 or 5 other clubs with great music.

all and all great place, great price.
