Friendly helpful staff, loved the property and personal touches (the chocolate and the note in the room). Rooms definitely need a little tlc, chipped paint, cracked blinds, just showing some wear. Room could use a fridge/microwave/coffee pot. Overall the property was decorated beautifully and it was a short walk to public transport or easy uber pickup. Would definitely stay again.

We had such a great, relaxing stay here. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Every detail inside and out was gorgeous. We fully enjoyed having a drink out on the patio area right after we checked in and staying up late at the bar and talking to the guy who managed the property. We found out he grew up around San Jose which is close to us. He really made our first night so enjoyable. Our room was beautiful, very clean and quiet. We really loved the pool and the food at the bar by the pool. It was so nice that there was a café on the property also and it was within walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. I wish we could have stayed longer.

New Orleans welcomed us once again with its warmth and hospitality. My daughter and I stayed at the Blackbird Hotel from June 22–26 and had a wonderful stay. Cleanliness: 10/10 Front Desk: 10/10 – Taylor and the entire staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming. The Blackbird is a beautifully decorated boutique hotel with just 13 rooms, two bars, a café, and a small pool, creating a charming and intimate atmosphere. The only downside was being awakened by loud drilling outside our room at 7:56 a.m. on June 25. The manager apologized and addressed the issue promptly. While I understand that maintenance is necessary, scheduling noisy work after 10:00 a.m. would be more considerate of guests. The hotel is best suited for adults, couples, and solo travelers rather than families with young children. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely stay at the Blackbird again.

The hotel was quintessentially New Orleans in its architectural style. The room was beautiful and clean. The common areas, including the bar, were comfortable, classic, and funky. The rooms could benefit from having a safe and a coffee/tea kettle or offering these essential morning beverages in the hotel lobby.

Blackbird was a stunning hotel with friendly staff and a really chilled feel. We absolutely loved exploring New Orleans, but made it even better to be able to come back and relax in a beautiful pool area for a reset. The free street parking was also a big perk.
