Pros- central place to stay and not too expensive. Nice staff. Good to sleep and move on Cons - not very cosy, we stayed in others in NOLA more or less the same price with great breakfast and cosy southern style

The Blake is a reasonably nice hotel and being just a couple of blocks from the French Quarter, the location wasn't bad. Price is also reasonable. However, service was very poor and our TV only received a couple of local channels. We reported this to the front desk and they assured us they would send maintenance to fix it, but... More

The only pro: you are right on the st charles street car line. That's pretty much what you're paying for. As for the rest... This place is to be avoided, particularly by light sleepers. When you read the reviews talking about AC noise, picture a jet engine warming up. I finally just slept with earplugs in to not be jolted... More

The Blake Hotel is a pleasant restful spot in the heart of New Orleans yet wonderfully away from the crowded noisier streets. This is part of the Ascend collection of the Choice Hotel chain, very unique smaller hotels at very reasonable pricing. Expect a very nice comfortable clean room. Excellent internet service for the business traveler. Nice touches like the... More

Great value for price, good location, comfortable beds. Closet was a little small, but minor details. Would definitely recommend. Front desk staff varies significantly, some are great, some are less so, but overall a good experience.

I liked this hotel. We were in town for Jazz Fest - and all I require in a Jazz Fest hotel is an easy to get to room to sleep in. The Blake was so much more than that. Sure, the elevators were a little slow and the bathroom could use some work...but it was clean, in a great location... More

Well positioned modern hotel within walking distance of the French Quarter. Pleasant, helpful staff and nice comfortable public areas. Our room, though well equipped, was not overly large and quite dark. Comfortable bed though and very quiet. Car Parking is expensive (though all seem to be in N.O.) and breakfast not included in the room price. We ate breakfast there... More

Just returned from Jazzfest and a great stay here. LOCATION As said previously, perfect distance from Canal St. and the Quarter, close to the much more happening Central Business district - Warehouse scene of restaurants and newer boutique hotels. STAFF was excellent, helpful and knowledgeable. LOBBY is so much improved over the previous bar when this was the Parc St... More

We arrive in New Orleans after a terrible travel experience and we were immediately greeted with amazing Southern Hospitality. Our room was amazing with great amenities and a ton of space. The staff was excellent and always available to help. The location was also perfect, directly in a main street just a five minute walk from the French Quarter. The... More

Cute little hotel located in the business district, just far enough away from the craziness of the French Quarter, but easily walkable to everywhere. It is situated right on the St. Charles Streetcar line - so just exit the hotel and catch a streetcar uptown. The staff was very friendly.
