    Hotel St. Marie. A hotel that commands imagination.

    The worst thing about a traveling package is you cannot choose the place to spend your nights at. I arrived New Orleans, knowing nothing about Hotel St. Marie, and allowed my mind to surprise me. "What's this place I am staying at going to be like? A haunted place? The best bargain in New Orleans? A big pit hole?"
    St. Marie topped them all.

    An ordinary exterior. An ordinary lobby. Well, I told myself, so much about any surprises. Up the lift, to the fifth floor we were staying at, it was another world. We made our way past room after room with a pink light shinning upon the front door.

    "What the hell is this?"
    "Some kind of special room service?"

    Not able to solve this mystery with the limited clue, we arrived at the front of our room. No pink light.

    "Why doesn't our room has one of those pink light?"
    "Maybe those rooms are for single men only."
    "I think we need to request a change to one of those room."

    Nevertheless, we opened the door and laid our tired bodies on the beds. Soon I paid a visit to the washroom, and......the red light was discovered. At the turn of a switch, BAM, the toilet transformed into a psychotic residing cell.

    "A red-lighted toilet?"
    "This is insane."

    Over the next couple of days, we tried to forge a theory to explain such abnormality. From abstract longshot to financial reality, we were enjoying the creation of such amazing stories about St. Marie.
    But we wanted to know the truth, even if the truth was bound to disappoint. We asked the bellboy, at the day of our departure, the real purpose of the lights. He cautiously explained to us, "The lights serve no purpose at all, they were merely decoration." "They were not," he continued, "a prostitute room service signal."

    Damn.

    Built in the late 1800s, the Hotel St. Marie first operated as an orphanage for abused & abandoned boys. According to local legend, the orphanage loaned the boys to local merchants—for a fee of course—to perform odd jobs in the numerous local shops & industries—razor clamming, sweeping, etc. Additionally, the staff of the hotel asserts that the building is haunted by a ghost of one of the orphanage’s former residents, describing it as a “timid & rather coy” spirit.

    The building survived numerous fires, hurricanes, riots, & failed businesses to eventually become the Hotel St. Marie, which is literally located in the heart of the French Quarter, within walking distance to numerous tourists attractions—Louis Armstrong Park, Jackson Square, & Bourbon Street. The staff is extremely friendly, offering their services to assist you in every which way they can.

    Sadly, the hotel looks every bit its age, which, unfortunately, is accentuated while using the pool, walking the halls, or traveling up & down the decrepit elevator. (Luckily, my room was on the first floor.) We were able to overlook the discrepancies in the hotel’s appearance—chipped paint on the walls, stains from an unknown substance(s) on the floor, & outdated tapestry as well as furnishings—which were quite abundant.

  • This turned out to be a great location. Hotel St Marie is located on Toulouse St right off the French Quarter. Bourbon of course is very busy and loud, but once you turn on Toulouse it was quiet and a short walk (100 yards to our hotel). This hotel has all your basic amenities that you need. Some of the rooms had a balcony I think. Try and get a balcony in New Orleans as the weather is warm and the people watching is great. The hotel was very clean and the service was great. The hotel does have a bar and a small dining room.

    Older hotel with gas light lamps outside. Big front door, but kind of a hidden hotel. The hotel was quiet at night which was good.

  • I like this hotel even though the front desk people act like they are better than anyone else. Everytime I request something in this hotel, the hotel personal cannot meet my requests. Last time I requested a balcony room, and they said that this could happen if I stayed in a smoking room, which is out of the question. Just so you know, this hotel has several balconies, mostly facing the courtyard. I tried to book it 1 month in advance. This hotel is part of the Valentino chain that also owns 3 other hotels in New Orleans. The other hotels they own do not have this problem.

    Lots of balconies and beautiful rooms with a view.

    We stayed here for all nights of our 3 night trip. This is a perfect location for getting anywhere around the French Quarter. Just walk everywhere and only a block from the bustling Bourbon Street.

    Very nice place, its about 100 yards from Bourbon St. so you're close, but you can actually go to sleep before the sun comes up (if you want).

    The service was excellent and they had a very nice pool area. The restaurant is being remodeled but it should be completed soon.

    Don't let the price fool you. It was 3 times what we paid just 2 weeks before we went.

    Good pool, excellent service.

    We only spent one night here during Mardi Gras before departing on a cruise. However, it was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and everyone we came into contact with was extremely pleasant. The furniture was older but I thought it gave character. It fit right in with the the surroundings. I loved the long dark halls and the staircases. In the bathoom thee was a door that opened to a very tiny balcony. Since there was not much of a view and no one to see....I left the doors opened that night as I was bathing. It was very relaxing. The only thing missing was a claw shaped tub. There was a bistro style room that they offered complimentary breakfast....mostly pastries, cereal etc but the pastries were good. There was a swimming pool in the courtyard area that looked nice...although the weather was still a bit to cool for swimming. It was very close to Bourbon street but without the noise. It was only a short walk to the nightlife. I would def stay here again and we got a good rate straight through the website of only $40
