Have stayed here several times in different buildings.
Always clean, nice pool, great location and pleasant employees.
The building and grounds are 150+ years old, keep that in mind and the quirks that come with the age and you’ll enjoy the stay.
We can’t wait to return again.

Hard to describe exactly how charming this place is. The hotel has an incredible amount of character and epitomizes my time in New Orleans.
Incredibly helpful staff. Always very kind and up for a chat.
Within 5 minutes walking you’re where you might need to be. Frenchmen St is around the corner. Go to The Spotted Cat.
My room was comfortable with AC. Great bed and linens.
There’s no doubt I will stay here again.

Perfectly quirky and the staff is beyond excellent. However the rooms are extremely small and not in the best working order. The vestibule is not very clean and has a funny smell. The place could be GRAND but it misses the mark. BUT the garden and pool area is excellent! Very beautiful. As for the accommodations, very very small. And not very clean needs to be dusted and deep cleaned and the plumbing needs work! But given the location and the quiet it’s worth it just for the weekend. But next time I will look for something else.

Staff let me hold my bags there before check in and after check out. They were very helpful, and gave great recommendations. If you're looking for a holiday inn... that's not what this is. It's a historic house turned to a hotel..So it has charm and is not a modern feel. The hot tub and pool was amazing, and very close to everything! I had a wonderful experience!

We booked Lamothe House for a special weekend in New Orleans as a Christmas gift for our daughter to see Phantom of the Opera because it was advertised as a charming historic boutique hotel.

Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst hotel experiences we have had.

When we checked in, our room was already about 75 degrees. We set the thermostat to 62 and left for the day assuming the AC would cool the room. When we returned that evening it was still around 75 degrees and clearly had never worked.

A staff member came up and confirmed the AC was not functioning but showed little urgency. We were told someone would check downstairs, but no one followed up. Nearly an hour later, close to midnight, we went back to the desk ourselves. No alternative room or even a fan was offered.

The next day we were moved to another room after guests checked out. My husband had to move all of our belongings himself across the courtyard and up another staircase while staff watched.

Unfortunately the AC in the second room also failed that evening. Between the heat and outside noise we barely slept.

We were so exhausted that we left early Sunday morning and drove five hours straight home instead of enjoying more of New Orleans.

The building itself is pretty, but the lack of functioning air conditioning and the complete lack of concern from staff overshadowed the entire experience.

We had a really nice stay at Lamothe House. All of the staff were really nice, and we were taken good care of by Pam our housekeeping staff member. Our room was lovely and clean. We had some difficulty connecting to the WiFi in our unit, which was detached from the main building across the street. We could never get it to pick up the correct network as an option to select, but suddenly connected when we stepped outside closer to the main building. Not a huge deal since we weren’t there to stay in and watch tv! The temperatures in New Orleans were unseasonably frigid while we were there, getting down into the 20’s. I’d recommend installation of a rubber door sweep on the bottom of the front door leading directly outside from the room to close the gap, which allowed a lot of air flow. We used a towel to block it. Otherwise we really LOVED our location and our stay and hope to visit Lamothe House again. 💜💛💚

The physical space is charming, my room on the balcony, not so much. It was completely devoid of any charm at all and was next-door to the manager's office, which was surprisingly noisy. The room was small, but the bed was comfy.

The Housecleaning situation was confusing. Nobody came into my room, but people knocked on my door at 5 PM to see if I wanted fresh towels.

The location was fabulous. It was easy to walk down to the street car or walk anywhere I needed to go. It did get sketchy at night, so as a solo traveler, I was cautious about when I was out.

The hot tub was a lovely feature, and I used it frequently in the cool weather.

I had to leave early and the hotel refused to refund my last night, which wasn't great. I will not stay here again.

We had asked the front desk from day one for towels to block the 1 inch gap under the door as bugs were coming in and we didn't want to be extra and ask for a new room. We were told that due to the rainy day, the hotel was out of extra towels and was promised more but never got them. We ended up using one of our own face towels and one of the towels provided by the hotel upon our arrival to block the gap. The hotel accidentally took our face towel when they came to clean up the next day, but we still heard nothing about the solution for the gap. We found a dead millipede in our bathroom the one day the new hotel towels were placed on the bed and not the bathroom. It was an overall confusing experience that left us wishing the hotel had been more clear on the room layout and location.
