  • There was nothing to not like, everything was perfect!

    “The staff was wonderful, the rooms were amazing and so comfortable and clean. Absolutely loved it here and will definitely be staying again!!!”

  • The Pool Looked Really Refreshing.

    “The property was close to the French Quarter but not smack dab in the middle of it. It felt more residential and like an apartment to me. My room was amazing. I wish the weather had been a little warmer, the pool looked like it would be really refreshing. Next time for the pool.”

  • Perfect for Relaxing.

    “The balcony was perfect for relaxing. The location was perfect for walking anywhere.”

  • Best Getaway Location!

    “The rooms are so big, they have large bathrooms, the courtyard is so peaceful and gorgeous, and I love the atmosphere of the entire place plus the location is phenomenal.”

  • The Rooms Are Everything

    “My husband and I travel all over the United States all the time. I got this one at random and I am so glad that I did. The staff is absolutely amazing and the rooms are everything you could be looking for. Living room kitchenette beautiful furniture beautiful area right near everything. I wish there were more than five stars that I could rate this at.”

  • Location! Location! Location! (& history)

    “We had an amazing time in New Orleans but the best part was coming "home" to our 2 bedroom suite at the Jean Lafitte House! 2 blocks from the end of the Riverfront Trolley line 1 block from Frenchman Street jazz clubs. You are only 2 blocks from Bourbon if that's your thing, but the quiet end of town was more our speed! Our rooms were clean, our little kitchenette was the right size for coffee in the Morning and our balcony had the best view! If you like history, this is for you. This is a home away from home.”

  • Basically A Perfect Location.

    “Great Little place, true Nola. Just outside the French Quarter and just off Frenchman. About 2 blocks from the end of the Riverfront Streetcar. Basically a perfect location.”

  • Good Value for Your Money

    “The room was clean and quaint with a lot of character. If you want a place that’s clean and quiet to sleep in with good value for your money, this is the place to stay. It was about a ten-minute walk from the craziness of Bourbon Street and only 5 minutes from Frenchman.”

  • The Staff is Absolutely Amazing!

    “The staff is absolutely amazing! Everyone was so helpful and nice. Hotel is in a great locaation to every single thing.”

  • The Place I Will Stay Every Visit.

    “Great and cozy old apartment style rooms, like a mini home away, walking distance to everything in the French Quarter and far enough away to get a quiet nights sleep. The rooms are old, but really nice and inviting and the pool is perfect to dip in to cool off. 10/10 the place I will stay every visit. “

  • The Staff is All Super Friendly and Kind.

    “Most affordable place to stay. Right outside of Bourbon St. and next to the great Frenchman street. The staff is all super friendly and kind. Our 1bedroom was bigger/better than expected. Super cheap $ wise. Would definitely stay here again.”

  • A Friendly Staff that Seems to Revel In Going Above and Beyond.

    “It is a charming inn with a wonderful atmosphere and a friendly staff that seems to revel in going above and beyond. Being several hundred years old, it would be silly to compare this establishment to a high-end chain hotel then then again, it would also be silly to go to one of those chains and expect the atmosphere and experience that you’ll get here.”

  • The room layout was outstanding!!

    “Close to everything. We walked comfortably to everything we wanted to do.”
