Charming hotel, consisting of several buildings three floors each with an elevator. We did hear a lot of noise from upstairs and the elevator door opening and closing. The service was good. The hotel is very close to all the French Quarter attractions about a three minute walk to Jackson Square. The room itself is an adequate size but very dark. Even when we opened all the curtains and put on the lights I sometimes had to turn on my telephone flashlight. Room has a coffee machine and a refrigerator , and the bathroom is well stocked with toiletries. Bed was very comfortable Since we were there in December. I would’ve liked an extra blanket to put on the bed since we do not like the heat turned up. We did not use the pool, but the little pool house had a microwave and the ice machine ONO, great location, good price, and friendly staff.

Super clean (and that goes for the bathroom too!) with super helpful, yet easy going and friendly staff. Plus the location is top tier! The best. Walk literally everywhere, including to the belly of the French Quarter without having to be right up under its chaos your entire stay. And you’ll still be in the action of Decatur which is swimming with great places to eat, drink or just hang. You might even get to catch a wedding party’s second line sashay past the hotel, like we did (: (:

I just completed my fifth stay -- 8 nights this time around -- at the French Market Inn and it was absolutely wonderful, as always. The staff is so kind, and the location is close to Jackson Square, the riverfront, and easy streetcar access. The entire Quarter is easily walkable. The courtyard is a collection of classic 18th century buildings built around an impossibly lush and lovely courtyard complete with fountains and a small sparkling plunge pool. The rooms feature original brick details and maintain their historical feel even as they have been subtly remodeled with all expected modern conveniences. I visit Orleans frequently, and bounced around hotels until I found the French Market Inn. But it's home now! Thank you for having a spectacular stay, FMI!
