This was my first trip to New Orleans and I couldn't have been happier with the historic Mardi gras inn. Jazmin and Sean/Shawn were both amazing. Jazmin gave us great recommendations for food in the area and Sean was able to give us great recommendations for drinks and the night life. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to town. Our room was super cute, the courtyard was quiet and relaxing, and everything we needed or wanted was within walking distance. I highly suggest the peach cobbler factory around the corner of the inn. Can't say enough good things about the historic Mardi gras inn.

Budget friendly

This is a great budget hotel. Free street parking. Their rooms are all different. Had a plumbing issue in a small room with no closet or hooks at all. Got moved to a bigger nicer room with a closet rack and frig. Staff is very nice. Good value.

Not my cup of tea!

First room was dirty, second room’s heater didn’t work, floor tiles missing in bathroom. It was a supposed to be a Sunday-Tuesday stay, I left Sunday. The staff was super friendly and helpful about the possibility of a full or partial refund, but since the reservation was made through Hotels.com, I’m waiting to hear back from them.
