Historic Mardi Gras Inn

The nostalgic New Orleans Feel and colors

All good

Was not expecting how incredibly adorable this hotel was. The pictures do not do it justice. Very clean. And the decor was perfectly New Orleans!

The beds and room were clearly not cleaned from the previous stay

Location

Place could use a remodel not just a paint job. It was a bit worn out.

They didn't let us in

They would not honor our stay but still made us pay

It wasn't fancy but was clean and in walking distance of everything we wanted to do or public transportation.

The location was great closer to most of location we visited

Typically I like to be fair in my reviews and try to at least find one positive, but I am having difficultly coming up with one single thing that I liked about staying at this location.

It felt like I booked a hotel room that was literally in the middle of a renovation. You had concrete pavers taped off in the courtyard in preparation for painting. The room was small and not clean. There was no closet or rod to hang my clothes. The refrigerator was out of place lying on the floor instead of elevated on a table. The walls are paper thin. I could hear almost every other guest that touched my room. The maintenance staff were weird and made uncomfortable conversation. There was a can of raid sitting on the flimsy and cheap looking shelve. Walls needed painting. I did not turn it on, but the TV was tiny. The AC did not function properly. When I walked to the bathroom in the morning, I stepped in a puddle of water. Not sure where it come from but it was there. There were light bulbs missing from the ceiling fixture. If I were going to run a successful hotel, I would do the complete opposite of everything this hotel does.
