“Best on Bourboun St.”

I have stayed at every hotel on Bourbon. Lafittes is by far the most enjoyable. The location is the best by far. Its on Bourbon but far enough away from the loud music where its still possible to sleep in peace at night. The private courtyard and having parking were both very nice. The staff was friendly. No problems. Great... More

Old policy changed and we appreciate your input. This is our 2nd month owning Lafitte Guest House. Today we changed an old policy of allowing guest that request stay over to occupy the same room. We will always try to accommodate a guest request to extend stay, however they will need to change rooms if a new guest has reserved... More

Had an incredible experience at Lafitte's 12 years ago...great room, super service, breakfast on a silver tray...oooo boy, has this place taken a tumble. Pealing paint, broken light fixtures, not even a step up from early bordello...Had a 3 night reservation, left after one night. "They " say it will be renovated.

I'm confused by the mixed ratings (hence my own 3 stars). On one hand, our room was great (like stepping back in time), bed was great, location couldn't be beat for touring the French Quarter. If that was it, I would rate 4-5 stars. On the negative side, yes there is a bar across the street that is very load... More
