The room is OK. I do understand if the vibe was 1920 however it still needed a little bit of upgrade like the carpet in the hallway was ridiculous. I don’t like how when I checked in the lady didn’t explain to me all the charges. I felt like that was the right thing to do. Hey it’s $120 a night for incidentals, etc. but other than that it was OK well I come back maybe maybe not I do want to brag on the ballet boys those men were so nice other than that it was just OK.

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend
My stay at this hotel was unfortunately one of the worst I’ve experienced, especially given the price.
From the moment I checked in, there were issues. My room did not have hot water, and there was no engineer available that evening to fix the problem. I eventually told the front desk not to worry about it and took another cold shower, which is completely unacceptable for a hotel at this price point.
The next morning, despite having the “Do Not Disturb” sign on my door, I was both called and knocked on early (around 7 a.m.) regarding the issue. While I understand they were attempting to resolve it, this lack of respect for guest privacy was frustrating.
There were also serious concerns with billing. I booked through Expedia with the option to pay at the hotel. However, my card was charged the full amount in advance anyway. Then, upon arrival, the hotel placed an additional daily hold of approximately $125–$150 per day. When I raised this with the front desk (who identified herself as a manager covering a shift), I was told it was likely due to an incorrect code—but based on my overall experience, it felt intentional and poorly managed.
Getting a receipt has been another ongoing frustration. I requested one through Expedia, called the hotel multiple times, provided my email address, and was repeatedly told it would be sent. Would I recommend this hotel? Absolutely not.

I guess I could have stayed at the Virgin Hotel Nee Orleans. Or at other snazzy places. But staying at the Pontchartrain and its storied past, I felt I was connecting with New Orleans and its history in a deeper way. I especially liked the Silver Whistle cafe, the Bayou Bar and its excellent jazz offerings, the views from the Tin Roof (named after Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” of course), and the Jack Rose restaurant. I highly recommend!

I paid $520 for a night at the Melopomene two bedroom suite. When I arrived for check in they told me a dog peed on the carpet so they would be “upgrading” me to the Thalia family suite and would waive the $150 upgrade difference! This was a far worse room, and went for 1/3 of the price that I paid - dingy floors, scuff marks on the wall, dust on all the furniture. Once I figured out they were trying to pull a fast one on me, I said I’d rather wait for the Melpomene suite that I had booked and paid for, the hostess (Gabriella) was incredibly rude and assumed I’d never figure out I was downgraded. There wasn’t even any carpet in the suite I booked, so the dog pee excuse was a lie, I’m assuming they were trying to give my suite to someone else and let me pay 3x the going rate of the room they tried to stick me in. Sure, the lil Wayne painting is cool, but the photo op isn’t worth staying at this dump.

Positives:
Spacious rooms, with large beds and considerable storage area for clothes, especially compared to typical newer hotels.
Breakfast available for a modest fee. Hotel has two bars--one on main floor that offers live music and food; The other on top floor that offers food, drinks, and panoramic city views.
Hotel is close to WWII Museum and other attractions.
Trolley stop just outside hotel entrance.

Negative:
Room key made of heavy metal. Heavy to carry around unless you leave it at front desk when going out.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! Staff were awesome, music in the bar was mind blowing, rooftop bar was fun - but we were shocked by the amount of \"TAX\" that were added on to our stay - Amenity Fee, State Tax, Convention and Tourism Tax, City Tax, and a Parking Tax on top of the Valet service. It won't deter us from recommending the place, or returning - it was just an unexpected surprise.

I used to think of the Pontchartrain Hotel as the \"Grand Dame\" along St. Charles. For us it was a worn out disappointment. The first inkling was when we checked in, were given and actual metal key to the room, and warned not to lose it and incur a $250 fine! The room itself was at best shabby, with the furnishings and wall art looking like they were bought at a garage sale. The paint on the wall was patchy, as if repaired by non-matching paint. In reading all the positive reviews I might think we justt had a bad room, but the rest of the travellers in our reunion group - to a person - also had terrible things to say about the place, What a disappointment! Though the room itself was reasonably comfortable and front desk staff friendly, we'll never make the mistake of staying there again.

Room was a little dated, but was what we expected with a historical hotel. Not an issue. The piano bar was really coo! Breakfast selection at the Whistle Stop was limited, but ok. The ladies working the coffee bar were GREAT people. Overall a great stay and enjoyable. Would definitely stay again.

I will always love the Pontchartrain because of its convenience, friendly atmosphere, and relative ease of use. It is also quintessentially New Orleans, with all that entails. Its charm is a bit faded, and the facility is a bit run down. Rooms are comfortable but out of date and in need of repair. Still, the Tin Roof top bar always rocks…people flock there and there’s always a party atmosphere. Kind of like the city itself. There are fancier, more expensive hotels but this one is just lovable.

The hotel is a far cry from what it once was - the carpeting in the room I was in felt dirty and although I slept well I will never stay there again.
The people that work there range from wonderful to inadequate and rude. My room had no closet or bedroom amoire to hang my clothes and they don’t have spare clothing racks. One of the “good guys” worked as a maintenance man and he found a luggage rack that I could use for my stay. He is quitting at the end of April. There are no in house amenities like room service or a gym. There are 2 very loud bars. My advice is to look carefully before booking there.

I stayed in a suite at the Pontchartrain hotel Hotel over the Easter weekend and the room itself was excellent-spacious, comfortable and full of character. It was definitely the highlight of the stay.

Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the room. Staff came across as distracted and not particularly courteous. It often felt like guests were an afterthought. which took away from the overall experience.

I also reached out to customer service after my stay and never received a response, which was disappointing and reinforced the lack of attentiveness.

For the price I expected a higher level of hospitality. Honestly your money might be better spent on a VRBO or similar rental in the Garden District where you'll likely receive more attentive service and a better overall experience.

This is a tough one because I appreciate the Pontchatrain’s heritage but unfortunately they seem to still be coasting on their past grandeur.

First the good: The restaurants and bar are top notch, beautifully decorated and staffed by well-informed, friendly professionals. The location is great. The streetcar stops right across the street from the hotel, and it’s a fun, quick ride to the French Quarter. Just a few blocks away there are lots of spectacular mansions to stroll by, and it’s a short pleasant walk to Magazine Street.

But…regarding the hotel itself, it has definitely gotten a bit long in the tooth and it doesn’t seem like there are any plans to give it a refresh. It’s small things that make a difference - for instance in our room the bathroom sink was broken (wouldn’t drain), the carpet was stained, and the floors were sticky. It felt more like a Days Inn than s luxury hotel.

The staff is courteous, but the property is WAY understaffed. We called the front desk for ice (there aren’t any ice machines) and waited nearly two hours before anyone showed up. The second time we requested ice they never showed up so we had go down to the lobby bar and fetch it ourselves. Likewise when the housekeeper forgot to leave us towels, it took 2 hours for them to show up. We had a small suite with 2 twin beds in one room and a queen bed in the other - bizarrely, one day the staff made up the queen bed, but left the two other beds unmade. Not the level of service I’d expect.

We stayed at the Pontchartrain for 2 nights in mid March and it was funky and fun. But be advised: a 4-star hotel it is not. It has a run-down \"faded elegance\" feel, with cracked tiles, patched carpeting, & slapdash paint -- but perhaps that's the point. It's an old hotel, using old-fashioned room keys (that you must return to the desk clerk every time you leave or risk a $250 fine if you lose them), a tiny elevator, and creaky stairs. But the room we had was clean and quiet with good air conditioning, a very comfortable bed, and well-appointed bathroom.

Service was a little \"off\" -- the only hotel staff we ever saw was the desk clerk and the front door greeter, but we didn't mind.

The coolest thing about the Pontchartrain is its location right on St. Charles at a street car stop. (We didn't notice any noise from the street car.) Also, the jazz bar and restaurant was outstanding!

So, if you know what to expect, the hotel is just fine and VERY New Orleans!

Never made it upstairs to the rooftop because kids aren’t allowed up there but heard it’s really beautiful.

Website specifically stated valet parking available. I understand it gets full. Lady at front desk told me there may not be any spots left as soon as I checked in, so went immediately to valet after. She also told me you shouldn’t bring a car during Mardi Gras. I’ve always brought my car and never had an issue until now. Valet said they had one spot left but would have to move my car to the front of the hotel till it opened. 30 mins or so after we left the car with them, they asked us to come get our key so they wouldn’t lose it and they would call us when they were ready to park it. We were in and out of the hotel while waiting and they told us not to go far so we could bring the key when ready. We set up on the route while waiting. Finally got a call after two hours saying that NOPD was about to tow our car and to come get it. I do so and find other parking, but I had a parking ticket. I trusted valet with my car and they parked it illegally and now I have a ticket to pay. Of the two rooms booked, one had a strong smell of sewage in the room and in the hallway. It was sickening. Beautiful hotel but very disappointing. Won’t be back.

Pretty disappointing visit. I've always enjoyed the rooftop bar and lower restaurant so I thought I'd try the hotel out on this trip. Upon check in, they didn't have a key for me. They use physical, metal keys and apparently the last guest had taken the key with them from what the front desk worker said. Also, security issue because they definitely didn't change the lock. Every time I wanted to access my room, either the engineer or the front desk worker would have to come with the master key to let me into my room which became really annoying after a few times. It wasn't until late into the second day of my stay until they remade me a key. Other complaints, I asked for an ironing board as my room didn't have one and never came and the safe didn't work. With all the great hotels around NOLA, don't waste your time with this one.

Disabled room we did not need or request so couldn’t hang up our clothes and no closet or shower door; the room was shabby and the bathroom dirty, as was the hallway; we had no maid service for three days despite complaining so the trash cans were overflowing and we had to use towels for three days; hotel staff nonexistent and any request for help was ignored; only one functioning elevator so had to wait long periods of time to get from our room to the ground; no room amenities at all so had to walk three blocks to get coffee in the morning; only one room key per room which is a safety issue for two people—- it just goes on and on. We finally checked in to a hotel down the street for the last nite. A nightmare. They are so interested in pushing their rooftop bar which makes them money they could not care less about hotel guests. And then we had the pleasure of paying over $2000 for this disaster. Do NOT stay at this place.

The first room they gave us was not cleaned by housekeeping. The entire hotel smelled odd. Our bed was comfy.

Great experience for an enchanting old world New Orleans feel. The establishment has two wonderful bars with excellent live music, one of the bars is on the rooftop, a delicious breakfast cafe and a fabulous restaurant:The Jack Rose.

I have already recommended it to others and will stay again if I get to go back

Just DONT lose your key...$250 replacement fee! ( I managed to find mine, but I was so stressed out about it.

The accommodations are very very basic but the Jack Rose is excellent. $250 key charge if you lose or don’t return it is interesting.
