Booked this on hotels.com at 7 pm after long drive to NOLA. Front desk doesn't receive online reservations after 5 pm so I had to call Hotels.com to fax info which they did immediately. Valet was at lunch when I went to get my car at 12:30 so I had to wait until he returned with clicker. Other than that... More

Possibly the worst hotel I can remember. The room was literally falling apart. Paid for a "Deluxe King" that actually is only a small queen sized bed in a tiny room. Found contact lenses and other items on the dirty floors. Torn carpeting, peeling paint, rusty bathroom fixtures, little old and broken CRT TVs, and only a view of the... More

I chose this hotel mainly because it was walkable from the train station, but that aside: it turned out to be a really nice older, but rejuvenated hotel, with friendly personnel and a bar and restaurant on the premises. I was given a spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated room on the fifth floor; which at the advance-purchase rate of less... More

I stayed at this hotel for a conference. I found it to be in a great, safe location within walking distance of the Convention Center (where the conference was). (Plus, the price for the room was very reasonable.) The hotel staff was generally very helpful and friendly (especially Dwayne, who says he has worked at the hotel for years). New... More

Having stayed during a period when many other hotels were sold out, I ended up here mainly because of availability, price (even at a high-for-me price of nearly $200), and location (proximity to French Quarter, in Business District). From the photos on TripAdvisor and for the price, I expected much more and was disappointed with the hotel when compared to... More

the location is very good and the price honest. The room was very large, with a kitchen and a sitting room, ironing board and iron. The air conditioning was a bit noisy ... Staff very helpful ...the walk to the French quarter about 10 minutes...

I waited until the last minute to book a hotel, not knowing that it was also the weekend that the Women's Final Four were in town as well as the ACS conference. I was limited on places to choose, and hesitantly chose this one based on price and location. Boy, am I glad I did! We booked a balcony room... More

We like hotels that are unique, in good locations, and well priced. The Lafayette met all of those critera. We started out trying to book at one of its sister hotels in the French Quarter, but it was sold out. The reservation page showed all the hotels in this group, and the Lafeyette was one of the choices. The location... More

We used to live in New Orleans and knew this hotel was in an ideal location. The sound of the streetcar was better than any alarm clock, a happy way to start the day! Our room and adjoining bathroom were very large with ample closet space. Loved the big windows, sitting room, desk, and comfy king-sized bed. Everything was replenished... More
