Overall, an OK stay! Nice hotel for the price. Front desk wasn't always all that friendly, but not unpleasant. Valet was always friendly and ready to suggest a restaurant! Hotel Restaurant/Bar kept music going until late in the night and people outside laughing/chatting until about 1am, all of which was pretty loud from our 2nd story, front facing room. Just thankful it didn't go on all night long! Try to get a room on one of the middle floors, if you can. Not too close to the rooftop bar or the bottom floor restaurant.

When I decided to go to NOLA for a solo trip I knew I wanted to stay in a “boutique” property verses something large and commercial. The Pontchartrain came up in my search. The thing that attracted me right away were the aesthetics. I loved the colors and decorating style from the 1920s. I was not disappointed when I arrived! I loved my room. I loved the two restaurants I dined in regularly: 1. The Bayou and 2. The breakfast one across the hall (can’t remember the name). But try the grits, coddled egg and hollandaise breakfast with buttered toast. One of the most memorable breakfasts of my entire lifetime!! This hotel is also in a lovely location: the garden district, and a streetcar goes by right out front. I will definitely be going back to NOLA and this is where I will stay.

The location was great. The service was also good. The restaurants and live music was great. For the price it was a fine hotel. However, the room had a strong musky smell from how old the hotel was. An update is absolutely needed.

Extremely content

Beautiful, quirky, artful. Hot Tin rooftop bar had amazing views of the city. Jack Rose has excellent food and super cute decor. Loved coming back to the hotel at night to spectacular jazz in the bar. Would definitely stay here again

Not a well kept property, things like windows painted shut scream amateur hour. I had to request to have my room cleaned at 5:00 pm two day out of five. With the added "resort fee," not a good value at all!

Once great, now terrible

We’ve stayed at this hotel many times since they opened/ remodeled. This will probably be our last stay. Previously this was the nicest 3 star hotel, a great value with lots of lovely touches. This stay was more per night with less amenities. Google now rates this hotel as a 4 star, yet they’ve gotten rid of room service, they no longer give a lagniappe and the rooms have not been taken care of. Additionally they charge a resort fee for things that either no one asked for or should just be included in the room rate. I’d rather spend twice as much and have a luxury hotel stay than spend 250$ a night for a mediocre one. Our room was small and cramped, there were cleaning supplies outside of our door, the toilet cover was wood? And the toiletries which are normally a perk of staying there were terrible. Really cannot get over how this hotel used to be the best but there are now lots of boutique hotels in New Orleans and we will try one of them rather than paying more for less amenities.
