3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

This is a historic 1722 building. The lobby area and elevator are obviously new and well maintained. Room was quite small and like the stairs and hallway could use a good cleaning--get the corners. Decorative period style bedside lamps needed a good dusting with a soft toothbrush. Bulb was burned out in one and only one bulb was working in... More

I stayed at the hotel with my husband. For the price we paid, I figured the room would be very small (compared to other hotels at the same price range) and cramped, however, that was not the case. The room was huge! The bathroom was gorgeous. The exposed brick walls had that NOLA charm. The staff were friendly and willing... More

We loved the charm of the old building, but the rooms need a little TLC. We arrived after midnight and we were given a room out on the balcony. The door handles were falling off the doors, paint chipping everywhere and the shower in the bathroom was a struggle to get to work. There were no curtains on the windows,... More

Basically, if you're looking for bells and whistles with a bellman then this is not your stop. However, if you're cool and the gang and can go with the flow, you will enjoy this little historical spot in a prime location. The room was a king, very small but clean. The carpets need cleaning. It is one of the most... More

Just got back from staying at the French Market Inn for a week with my mom. We only had reservations for 3 days but fell in love with it and were able to stay 4 more days in the same room #349. Our room over looked Decatur St and the mighty Mississippi River. Our room had old brick walls, big... More

I took my husband to New Orleans for the first time and we stayed at this beautiful hotel. I agree with all the other reviewers that this is NOT a 4 Star hotel. It was rustic and charming. Because it was built and added on too the elevator does not reach every floor so some areas you do have to... More

We stayed at this hotel a year ago and just loved it. We were welcomed by Jenna at the front desk and she made sure we had a perfect stay. When we took my parents to New Orleans this year, we had to make sure we stayed at this hotel since it would be perfect for them. This time it... More

The French Market Inn is all about location. It is directly across the street from where the Natchez river boat docks and two short blocks away from Jackson Square or Riverwalk. We stayed in the old section facing the river on the third floor. The room was small but clean although a bit shabby. The elevator works here but I... More

Not a 4 star, but we were very happy with our room. We were in the new section but no elevator to the 3rd floor. Had to walk up stairs from the second to third floor. Nicely appointed, but I lost something and had to pull out the bed from the wall and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned... More
