Welll, we drove from Ontario, Canada to New Orleans,LA as our final destination. We drove with friends and were blown away once we arrived at this 'resort'. I've stayed at expensive hotels, great all in one resorts in the carribean but this place blew every other place I've stayed out fo the water because it had it all. Every night... More

My husband and I found Melrose Mansion online, liked the description and decided to book a 2-night stay in May 2013. We later found out our friends had booked the mansion for a trip in March 2013! They loved it and we did too! Arriving too early to check in (to our modest 129.00/night room) the staff welcomed us and... More

This property is spectacular- the rooms well appointed and the atmosphere superb. That's about all the good stuff. The staff and services were lacking severly. From the guy who was always hanging around doing nothing that didn't even say hello the whole time we were there, to the night staff who was sleeping somewhere in the back at 4am when... More

I would like to take this opportunity for your recent review of the Melrose Mansion. It is unfortunate to read that you found your stay to be anything other than outstanding. In regards to the gentleman that did not speak to you, I have spoken to the staff at the onsite Salon to ensure this is no longer an issue.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Melrose Mansion in late September 2012. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was close enough to all the French Quarter attractions but situated on a quiet street, so you could still enjoy a quiet evening in by the pool or on the gorgeous porch. We stayed in the Miss Kitty room,... More

We arrived earlier than the afternoon check in time and were pleasantly surprised to be greeted and shown to our apartment straight away. The staff were very friendly and the apartment was tastefully decorated in a modern way which did not detract from the beautiful historical mansion features. The rooms were clean, comfortable and like being home from home. The... More

Before booking the Melrose Mansion we have been puzzled by the strange distribution of the ratings: very good and very bad were about 50:50. The building is beautiful, the room was very nicely furnished in a minimalistic way and the location is superb for access to the French Quarter. However - and here come the bad points: the staff is... More

We stayed the week between Mardi Gras and St. Patty's day and found the mansion a fantastically complete New Orleans experience. From the balcony that spanned the entire length of our suite to the laid back attitude of the staff, we felt like we were staying with friends instead of in a big box hotel.
