One of our best stays ever

Wonderful stay right in the middle of everything but quiet room. Staff was excellent. Housekeeping must have been keeping an eye on when we left the hotel because we were in and out multiple times throughout the day and without fail they'd been through before our first return. The courtyard and poolhouse were well kept and provided a nice place to unwind in the evening.

You can’t beat this location! It’s a beautiful hotel and is well kept with a great courtyard. I took off 1 star because our room had no window and was quite dark but otherwise I would absolutely recommend this place.

There are a lot of good things about the French Market Inn - it is relatively quiet, in a good and convenient location, and the room is adequately sized with a good bathroom and shower. There is also a pleasant courtyard. The negatives are relatively minor. Staff were fine but not great. The room has nothing with drawers and only two hangers. It is a fine place to stay but nothing special.

Great Stay

We booked two rooms at the French Market Inn for a father-daughter trip to New Orleans. The rooms were super clean, very quiet, and comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating. The location in the French Quarter couldn’t be beat. Walkable to everything! I would absolutely stay here again!

Very cute hotel with a beautiful courtyard. My bathroom needed some TLC but for the most part it was clean and very charming. My room overlooked the courtyard and it was beautiful, also very quiet. Hotel is choppy and like a maze when finding your room but you figure it out quickly. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, hotel is walkable to restaurants and shopping. I would stay again.
