Let's start with the good. The beds were extremely comfortable, never slept better in a hotel. The staff were very courteous and helpful thank you to all the staff. The bad, stayed for 3 nights, room was never cleaned, no garbage was emptied , coffee not restocked, no fresh towels, very disappointed with that! Don't expect the bar to be open past 10:00, there was no breakfast at all , it is a fair distance away from Bourbon Street which isn't too bad of an idea except walking back at night and all the homeless that you have to step over, we will stay closer to Bourbon next time.

Check in was good because the front desk person told us that the room that Travelocity offered for an upgrade (with an extra charge) would not accommodate the three of us.. she gave us another room but when we got to the room, none of our keys worked. The clerk then told us after she tried the keys and they did not work for her.. to take the room next door. I was very surprised and disappointed that a hotel that has a sign advertising that it’s a historical hotel had tattered and ripped carpeting.. not very appealing. The next day one of the keys stopped working for the room. The lady at check out seemed a bit confused with the process and I was a little discouraged by her comments as she was trying to re-explain the upgrade. I especially did not like her incorrect comment that I paid for only two people in the room and there were three of us. Incorrect and an embarrassing moment in front of my adult grandchildren as I paid for the trip. This was not true either. The location was good, but I believe there are better choices in the area. I would not stay there again.

Shockingly clean- bathroom, bedroom, everything. It’s hard to find a hotel that don’t gross you out at least a little. This place is impressive. They being said- bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and DEFINITELY soap. Staff is great

This was the second time that we stayed at the Bienville House, and we will stay there again. The staff was very friendly, our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was updated and beautiful. We actually had two rooms, both rooms were excellent- but the second room’s air conditioning did not work, the staff did offer to move us to a room at their sister hotel, but we chose to stay with our group so we were given box fans for the room. New Orleans in July is hot. Over all it was a great time.

A beautiful property however our stay was totally ruined by the AC in our room which would not cool. It was 74 when we got home from dinner, and would not cool off. Needless to say it was a terrible night. Yes, we informed the front desk, who then said, sorry, it’s central AC 🙄

The hotel is really cute and is in a great location, walking distance to the French Quarter. We were allowed to arrive early and vallet our vehicles and store our luggage prior to check in time. Front deck staff could be a little more approachable, however over all it was a great place to stay and will definitely stay there again on our next trip to New Orleans
