Hotel Le Marais

We love La Marais. We come to Nawlins every year and usually stay at the Monteleone, which we love, but it's become too crowded and too noisy. La Marais was comfortable, quiet and the service was excellent. The location was also centrally located to be able to walk anywhere. We would absolutely stay at La Marais again and again.

The room was very comfortable, good air conditioner, nice big window, comfy pillows. The room was spacious enough for my cousins to come join me for a night and we weren't on top of each other. The bathroom could have used a towel rack or two, because we ended up just putting the towels on the floor. There was a note from the hotel staff about preserving resources, and I would have been happy to reuse my towels the entire trip, but I didn't have anywhere to hang them to dry. The breakfast was good - fresh fruit every day! Sausage and eggs, coffee and juice. Better than expected. I could have used a mimosa a couple of those mornings, but only thought of it because breakfast was served in the bar area. The location was prime! Walked up and down Bourbon St. all night, and was an easy step back over to the hotel to crash afterwards. The front desk staff was excellent! Very friendly and helpful. The only thing that I would take points away for is how thin the walls were - I could hear my neighbor coughing. But, I didn't care, because I was asleep within seconds of hitting that bed. So it didn't bother me too much. If you plan on having a loud group, maybe ask for a suite.

They took great care of me while I was there for the week. The staff is great and I loved the bartenders they really were attentive and kind. Overall a great experience.

Walls are paper thin. Was woken up in the middle of the night by the couple having sex in the room next to us almost every night. Could also hear people stomping on the floor above us. Bathroom smelled damp which was a little overpowering. Also not the cleanest, I accidentally dropped some eye cream on the floor under the desk and when I went to wipe it up with a towel, the floor was really dirty and there was a lot of hair from people who stayed before us (didn’t match hair color of anyone in the room). Otherwise, staff was extremely nice and courteous and hotel is in a very convenient area.

Great experience all round.
