Not sure how to answer this, I did some rsearch on trip advisor before my partner booked the room and it appeard to be a bit hit and miss maybe we may have hit them on an off day. There is still a lot of restoration work going on and I understand that the authorites are a keen to keep... More

Despite ongoing renovation, the French Market inn was a perfect place to stay. Our room was pleasant , the staff was extremely friendly, and helpful, the price was right, and the location allowed us to do and see whatever we wanted without having to rent a car. I highly recommend it. More

Not only are the staff friendly and helpful, the location is terrific and the atmosphere of the grounds are awesome....make sure you request a courtyard view and relax and enjoy! If you have had anything bad to say about this place then go stay at a high priced chain and leave your soul behind. WOW! More

The French Market Inn is quite a quaint little hotel perfectly situated in the heart of the French Quarter. The service we got from all of the staff at the hotel was always absolutely superb, whether they were helping us out, offering advice, or simply joining us in some anecdotal conversation. The rooms are small and dark and probably in... More

This is an historic hotel. ROOMS : As with most historic hotels, expect tiny rooms with little counter space. If you have stayed at old hotels such as this, then you know what I mean. There was no bed spread, but after seeing all of those 20/20 shows that show how dirty comforters are, I didn't mind not having one.... More

I stayed here in 2004 and the hotel was under construction at that time too! Like some others at that time the TV's only had 2 volumes, quite and loud, and you could hear everything anyone was doing through the walls. The location is great, and the staff is wonderful. The first night we got there our room was small... More

After reading several reviews and wanting an affordable hotel in the French Quarter, my wife and I settled on the French Market Inn. We visited a couple of days before Christmas so it wasn't crowded. Yes, the hotel is in need of renovations (which, according to a sign in the lobby, are in progress.) The carpet in our room was... More

My husband and I went for our 20th anniversary in Oct 2011. The hotel is in awesome awesome location, walking distance to anything and everything without the noise of Bourbon St. The hotel is older and a little run down, but under renovation. The price is great, staff is friendly, room small and dark, but was cleaned everyday, but if... More

The staff were wonderful. Considering we visited during Christmas, the staff, especially Jenna (Jennifer) were warm, friendly, hospitable and caring. They recommended restaurants. They informed us of the restaurants that were open on Christmas day. Jenna even called to a few restaurants to learn hours. In addition, we received help in making tour decisions. Jenna assisted with gathering information as... More

This is probably the best in New Orleans that $69 a night can buy, and the location is amazing (really close to Jackson Sq. and Bourbon St., walkable to the convention center). While the hotel is in the French Quarter, it is actually in a relatively quiet area, so you do not hear the partying that goes on at Bourbon... More
