 Horse & Carriage passing the Chateau Hotel by Neesie Another VT user recommended this hotel to me; I would not have been happy with a big chain hotel, or a hotel "close" to the French Quarter. As far as hotel rooms go it was average (bed, tv, bathroom). However I really liked the location in the French Quarter. It was a few blocks from Bourbon, and about 3 blocks from Jackson Square. It faces Charters & St. Philip. For the money, I think it is a good value.
The courtyard is beautiful. Brick walls, fountains, garden dining sets and a pretty pool, statues, etc. etc. It is the only hotel I know of (besides the Richilieu) that has their own parking facility. It is more like storage parking, so they have to park and retrieve the car for you. Theme: HotelComparison: about averageDirections: in the heart of the French Quarter

We have stayed here multiple times, and have always been pleased for the most part. When traveling with the kids, we always wind up with an upstairs room. This time our room was rather small, and there was not much room to put our things. In addition, I was surprised to see that our air conditioner did not seem to be working properly. When I inquired at the front desk, the man said he did not have the air conditioner turned on because it was supposed to get cool during the night. However, it had not been “cool” throughout the day. There was no air circulating in our room, and the sun had been shining into it all day. I requested and was given a small fan. This did not help much. We were hot all night, and woke to an uncomfortable room. Before we headed out to the Quarter for the day, I made a plea/complaint again at the front desk, and the problem was fixed in the most marvelous way. When we stopped back by in the afternoon, the room was cool, and air was circulating beautifully, making for a much more pleasant stay. The maid brought a ton of fresh towels, and the general staff was very helpful. This hotel is kind of “tucked away”, and sometimes guests tuck in early. We were laughing and talking in the courtyard at about 10:50 pm (within pool hours), and one of the guests opened her window and yelled at us. We were headed upstairs pretty quickly anyway, so we just laughed and went to the room at her prompting. If you plan on a rowdy time, this is probably not the hotel for you. We had the kids, and were not looking to party half the night. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, and we will keep this hotel on our “pick list”.
Great location, two blocks from Jackson Square, far enough away from the action to be quiet for sleeping. Beautiful courtyard.

Fantastic place!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you thank you to the VT members who recommended this hotel. I was with a party of four and found our room to be very comfortable and clean. We were celebrating a college graduation so we really didn't stay in the room that much. I never had a problem with the staff and must agree with another VT member that the doorman Wendell is just a doll. The courtyard is very nice. When we were at the hotel we spent most of our time there with our feet dangling in the pool. Also the path we took from Bourbon back to the hotel was very well lit; we passed a few dark corners but had no problems. As others have said just keep your wits about you, it's just like any other tourist town. Just remember when booking in the French Quarter, it is old, below sea level, and a "tropical" environment so there will be mold, there will be dust, there will be pluming problems (hot and cold flashes of water) but I have experienced this at every hotel, and some residences in the FQ so just keep that in mind when booking.
FREE SECURE PARKING, anyone who has ever driven to NOLA will know why this is important. Adorable courtyard, continental breakfast, coffee maker, iron and ironing board, mini fridge and hair dryer in rooms.
