This is a very authentic early New Orleans hotel. The check in staff was pleasant. The rooms are behind a locked gate. The room was clean with pleasant sheets and bed cover. The bathroom was updated with a nice counter. The parking is on the street outside the hotel. There is a bit of noise all night of people coming in and talking. We used a sound machine to block out the noise.

The location was perfect for us. We only live an hour away but we had a wedding to attend in New Orleans. This location was only a block away from the church, which was perfect so we didn't have to drive. The inn was gated and secured. The room was great for a little overnight getaway.

I loved my stay at the Mardi Gras Inn! The staff is sensational and personable. I stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. The location was great for me personally. I didnt want to be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle but over the weekend, it did get very lively in the neighborhood. I was able to get on the Le Pass app and purchased the $6 day pass for each day to catch busses and the trolly towards Jackson Square. My room didnt have a window, but this really didn't bother me. My room also didnt have any above head lights that worked. So my shower was a dark experience but again, wasnt really too big of a deal, just inconvenient. I truly did love my stay here, Ill be returning next month!

Beautiful location , staff was nice but came into my room ,while i was looking at my phone on the bed. Couldn’t sleep all night because of the lights outside the shade on the door is not enough to drown out the light
