"A balcony room overlooking Bourbon St. is a must book. The room comes with a white noise machine and ear plugs. Genius! We slept very well! Enjoyed our stay. Will book with Four Points again."

Hotel St. Pierre®, a French Quarter Inns® Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room itself was good for what a room should be good for, a place to change, shower and sleep. The bathroom was well kept and there were fresh towels available upon our check in. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable and the frame wasn’t very stable, the furniture is a bit temperamental but the air conditioning worked well, the location is ideal and the staff is INCREDIBLE. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and so authentically pleasant to interact with. We didn’t utilize parking but from what I understand parking is paid on a stay basis."

Inn at the Old Jail

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place with real charm & character. Spotlessly clean, great facilities & great location. Would highly recommend."
