This place is very bare bones, but it certainly gets the job done. There were adequate security measures in place, and it is situated in a lively but safe neighborhood. If I needed somewhere to sleep in a pinch, I would do it again without much hesitation.

Check in went smoothly. Staff told us there were sprits in the hotel so that was cool. The gate for the courtyard was always left open and always people who appeared homeless sleeping in the courtyard. Is an ice machine and vending but that is it for amenities. Free street parking and area seemed fine. You are walking distance from the main hub however the walk back in the evening was a bit sketchy. Room did not have a closet or anywhere to hang up clothes, but a large dresser and two big chairs. AC worked and kept the room cool the first 3 days.

Main issue was check in was not done properly and when we returned from lunch on day 3/4 there was a lock box on our room door. We went to the front desk and they claimed we had no show’d our first night and had cancelled our reservation. We were interrogated about this until the employee who check us in verified he had not done that properly. Further they turned on the master AC for our room during this and we did not notice until late in the evening and was unable to fix this - the room was about 78 when we woke up.

I arrived at the facility few minutes after 11:00pm on May 27 2026. Surprisingly there’s no one in the office. No one answered my phone call. So no one check me in and give me the key. Upon complained to Expedia, the agent of Expedia claimed that the facility had email me the late check in details, claiming that the key was placed in the key box and left me a code to open the box. But I checked all my emails and found there was no notifications been sent to me. If there’s a software glitch in the platform/portal, then I shall not be responsible for the miscommunication between this hotel and Expedia, and I shall be refunded for a night that I didn’t used. Please kindly refund me the night for May 27 2026. Thank you.

My family and I could’ve been seriously hurt after what happened on Friday 07/03 (the night we were supposed to check in). We arrived at the property at about 11:30pm as we were driving in from Texas. As soon as I walked into the front desk I knew something was wrong as there was a man under the influence hanging out with the man of the front desk. The gentleman checked us in normally and gave us a key to room 106. My family and I made our way to room 106 but as soon as we opened the door a woman slammed it; the room was not available. We went back to the front desk and told the front desk guy and he goes, “ I don’t know why the room isn’t empty… maybe they didn’t update the log.” Then, he gets keys to room 202, we walk up there and there’s a person inside that room too.
At this point we’re scared because the people could’ve hurt us for trying to get in the room and I have my 10 and 5 year old. The front desk guy says,” I need to call the police as homeless are in these rooms 🤔, I’m so embarrassed I’m so sorry.” I proceeded to tell him we needed a refund(which he did) and I booked another hotel as fast as I could.

Hotels. Com has yet to hear from me regarding this hotel. The scare and the inconvenience for my family was on another level. don’t STAY HERE

The staff were all kind and friendly, and they were able to help me with getting my a/c to blow very cold, and stay that way. I loved the location, as far as having several bus stops and a trolly stop in close walking distance. However, I think it's time for a total upgrade. I haven't used an actual key to open a hotel door in years. My TV didn't work for 1 day and a half into my stay, due to internet connection issues. I hurt my toes several times on that rod iron bed, and the ripped shower curtain and shower head left me wanting to take a bird bath.

The hotel is really old as the name says historic but I wasn’t expecting it to be in so bad condition, was given a room first that was pretty big but the ac unit located on top of the mirror sink was leaking and the wall was stained, they left a dirty towel on top of the sink to hold the water, i was so tired after driving 91/2 hrs that didn’t said anything but when we got ready to go out pass by the front desk and told the guy the situation and he helped when we came back that night, he went to the room and said oh no this room has a leak why the put you here and offered to change us. I said yes, well I feel I should’ve said no cause the second room was way smaller than the first one and super old and run down smelling like it wasn’t used in a long time it was really bad but I said we’re not here that long and just suck it up. The front desk people were super nice the check in lady was very sweet and friendly and the night shift guy was really nice and tried to help changing the room which I appreciate. They say there’s parking in the description but the parking is just street parking not an actual parking lot or garage luckily there was a space available most of the time. The place is cute but needs a lot of maintenance and the area don’t help much either

The young lady at checkin was excellent, very helpful and personable. The nicest person I met in NOLA. Rooms are old and was too be expected. That being said the window ac units could use and upgrade a one of the family rooms was uncomfortably warm. And in the other room the older grandson was finding pills on the floor, they were immediately flushed in the toilet.

This is more like a cheap motel than a hotel/inn. The walls are thin, the room is clean enough but not spotless. The room I stayed in needs new paint on the walls because I could see where bleach had been sprayed on the walls. But like many places in New Orleans, budget options are old and have lots of character.

The pictures are very misleading the feel of the family room where we stayed was honestly unpleasant, in poor repair and dirty. The bathroom door didn't close easily. The \"kitchen\" had a non working sink, a counter covered in a broken plastic sheet and a barely cool fridge with no temp adjustment. There was a plastic shower curtain which served as a \"headboard\" to separate one bed from the kitchen. The bathroom sink was separating from the wall. The air conditioners were in very poor shape one missing it's machinery. The linens were stained and many had cigarette burns. The windows did not have adequate treatments to block the sun or the view from the street. The free parking was only if Street parking was available. If no street parking it cost $20 to park.

Parking was easy, front desk staff was fantastic and friendly…. And that… is where it ends. Courtyard was colorful and inviting, room was not. Shelf with holes in it, cheap beds, blemished furniture, and a huge cockroach. I’ve stayed in New Orleans and realize there are places with certain “quirks.” This place needs cleaning, remodeling, and some paint on the walls.

You have to know what you’re booking - a 2 star motel. Once you remember that, it’s not so bad. Although like other reviews say, the motel (not a hotel) NEEDS to buy new sheets and then consistently use bleach. You can tell they were laundered, but the stains are not a good look. After showering I went from the bathroom to bed and my feet were dirty. Cleanliness overall is clearly an issue.
The neighborhood seems great - very welcoming, quiet at night, and I didn’t feel scared walking back alone around 10pm. I would stay here again when I’m on a budget.

Don't waste your money booking this hotel. I booked the master suite, which I expected to be great, but the room was very poor and dated. The bathroom was dirty, and I found traces of poo in the toilet bowl. The towels and sheets were dingy, though at least they didn't smell bad.

After 11 PM, there is no one at the front desk to assist you. During my three-day stay, I had issues with other guests who spent the entire night talking, laughing loudly, and smoking. I messaged the front desk asking for help, and to this day, no one has responded.

In fact, my last night was a nightmare, as those guests—whom I had asked to keep quiet after 10 PM—made even more noise and spoke even louder. The smell of cigarettes and marijuana was very strong.

I keep wondering how Hotels.com, Expedia, and others still list this hotel as an option. The only good thing is the location—very close to Frenchmen St., Bourbon St., and Royal St.

Near French Quarter, quiet, cheap, offstreet parking (20$ per night), soft bed, room well equipped but small, staff friendly. Hotel is run down and needs maintentnace.

This hotel is an inexpensive, clean, and safe hotel in Marigny. It is within walking distance of the French Quarter and Frenchman St. Public transportation available nearby. The room I had was clean. The floors were creaky at points but it's a 130 yr old building. If you want a hotel with bells and whistles, stay elsewhere. If you want to experience the charm of Marigny, I highly recommend.

We loved our stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn!
It was clean, very roomy & the shower was HOT with great water pressure! Very cool colors, ample courtyard seating.. Cozy bed but the most pleasant part of all was the incredible customer service! Everyone was SO kind and warming, we felt warmly welcomed, we received amazing recommendations and truly were beyond impressed by ALL the staff. Our only complaint which is why we removed a star was the treatment of the staff by the owner or manager? Not sure who that man was that yelled at the front desk clerk but it was rude and uncalled for especially infront of guest but regardless could never happen ! We hate seeing other demeaned so that was unacceptable BUT I can’t take more stars because they do AMAZING WORK, the place is wonderful and we would stay here again!

A little far from all the action but if you want something rural, something decent distance from Frenchman then this is your spot !

The staff were nice but that was pretty much the only positive. Street parking in Nola is always a challenge, especially in that neighborhood. While it's in a convenient location in the Marigny, you still might have a bit of a walk due to a lack of parking. The room was small and not well maintained, and the ac did not work.

There are shops in walking distance. Easy parking, great air-conditioning in the room just a strong stench of perfume seem to be sprayed to cover up a stale smell. Not a pleasant smell, especially for someone who has asthma or suffer with allergies. The upstairs walkway has old weak wood in certain areas. Overall, it’s a very historical hotel with a bit of old world charm. It’s just time for some repairs to be done.

Hotel is horribly neglected. The staff say \"well it's an old hotel\" but that does not excuse doors that wont open all the way (fire hazard) mirrors that are just set on a shelf and held with duct tape, the smell of mold when you firat open the door, and it certainly does not excuse NASTY sheets!! My pillow had sticky red stuff on it, there were curly black hairs on the sheets, stains all over each piece on linens. And to make it worse, when we asked for clean sheets my husband was given a stack for him to bring back and we had to change our own bedding!!
The checkin lady acted like I was bothering her while she chatted with another staff member. And when we went to check out the guy didn't even look up, just pointed to the corner of the desk and said \"put the key there\". I did and started to tell him how nasty the bed was, he rolled his eyes and just cut his eyes towards me... no I'm sorry, nothing, just sat there and looked at me til I left.

I woke up early to check out and the office was closed but there was a woman sitting outside that said I could just leave the key with her um no Ma’am. I lost money but I went and got a room at the QC hotel it was super nice but that’s what I get for looking for something fun and quirky.

Staff was extremely accommodating and nice! Room was very clean. It would be great if the mini split had heat bc we woke up and it was 45. A coffee pot would also have been awesome to have. Location is Fabulous

It takes a lot for me to leave a negative review for a small business, but I can't let this slide. I'll skip the room's cleanliness and get right to the worst part when I got locked out of my room and there was no one on-site to help me. After leaving several voicemails and knocking on the darkened office window repeatedly, I ended up having to sleep outside in the cold by pushing some of their exterior barstools together to make a bed. 7:00a is their posted check-in time, so I returned to the office again to find still find no one there. I called again and could hear the phone ringing on the other side of the glass and left another voicemail. I sat in their front stoop like a homeless person for another half hour until I hear movement inside. Finally, a gentleman answered the door and I explained everything. Apparently, he was supposed to be there all night but had skipped out on his duties and proceeded to call me a liar. He then said he didn't have a spare key and that I would have to come back at 9:00a when the manager would be here. I took another frigid nap on my makeshift bed and returned at 9:00a. The manager arrived and said someone was there all night who could have helped me and I pointed out that wasn't true. He also couldn't find a spare key and walked with me to my door where I watched as he had to break into my room. I can't say the ease of his entry made me feel comfortable in the least. I understand you get what you get with 2-star hotels...but wow!!! :(

Totally neglected room. Dirty. Sheets not clean. No electricity to our room. King size. After an hour of waiting on power we got a different room with a tiny bed for 2 people. No remorse from front desk. I will try to dispute from expedia to get some sort of refund.

We stayed here for one night and thankfully no more. Granted we were there for Mardi Gras weekend, but there was really no excuse for how disgusting that room was. I could tell no clean towels were put out because there was a previous guest's hair tie on top of the towels on the towel rack. Every surface was tacky and gross. The AC situation is an indoor unit attached to a hole in the wall. The only control was to turn it off. The filter inside it looked like it had been there since the first Regan administration and the carpet looked like it had been there that long too. The room smelled of cigarette smoke and there were no windows in our room. I would NEVER stay here again and I'm pretty forgiving.

The room was basically clean. But the structure has not been maintained. Part of the door molding was completely missing and part was ripped and repaired with foam. The beside lamps were RUSTY, like painted white but with huge rust spots, and not like fake rust trying to look old, but actual rust. No bedspread, only sheets. Only two face towels at first, although staff did get me bath towels. The staff was very nice, and was responsive. There was a lot of noise every night, but it's Mardi Gras, so you can't really expect it to be quiet. But when the couple next door started yelling, I called the desk and a security guard came up immediately and quieted them down. There is a security gate that bangs loudly every time someone goes through it. Nothing staff can do about that. But they did what they could to help with problems that they could do something about. So 5 stars for the staff. 1 star for the building.

The staff was great! Very helpful and had great suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We arrived a few minutes early and she let us go ahead and check in. Can't say enough positive about the staff. The hotel itself has a lot of \"character\". A little rough around the edges but it was convenient to the parade we wanted to attend. Overall we have certainly had much worse experiences.

This is a very authentic early New Orleans hotel. The check in staff was pleasant. The rooms are behind a locked gate. The room was clean with pleasant sheets and bed cover. The bathroom was updated with a nice counter. The parking is on the street outside the hotel. There is a bit of noise all night of people coming in and talking. We used a sound machine to block out the noise.

The location was perfect for us. We only live an hour away but we had a wedding to attend in New Orleans. This location was only a block away from the church, which was perfect so we didn't have to drive. The inn was gated and secured. The room was great for a little overnight getaway.

I loved my stay at the Mardi Gras Inn! The staff is sensational and personable. I stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. The location was great for me personally. I didnt want to be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle but over the weekend, it did get very lively in the neighborhood. I was able to get on the Le Pass app and purchased the $6 day pass for each day to catch busses and the trolly towards Jackson Square. My room didnt have a window, but this really didn't bother me. My room also didnt have any above head lights that worked. So my shower was a dark experience but again, wasnt really too big of a deal, just inconvenient. I truly did love my stay here, Ill be returning next month!

Beautiful location , staff was nice but came into my room ,while i was looking at my phone on the bed. Couldn’t sleep all night because of the lights outside the shade on the door is not enough to drown out the light
