We recently stayed at the French Quarter Inn with our 3 kids (15, 14 & 12), & the room had more than enough space for all of us!! The location of this hotel is amazing! Just steps from the City Market as well as plenty of restaurants & shops. We even walked to the aquarium which is where we did an excursion to Fort Sumpter! Although this is an upscale hotel, my kids never felt out of place or unwanted.They loved the mini candy bar in the lobby & the nightly milk & cookies were a hit with all of us! The service was also wonderful. I accidently left the Do Not Disturb sign on our door one day, and I received a text asking if I would like our room serviced. So many hotels no longer even provide daily service, so the fact that they reached out to me to ask, was above & beyond in by book. I've never stayed anywhere that had a pillow menu! I have to say this was one of my favorite features! We tried 3 different types of pillows that were delivered to our room within minutes of us requesting them. I enjoyed the buckwheat pillow so much that I checked the brand they used & ordered one to have at home! We chose to have breakfast brought to our room each morning & not only was our order correct each day, but it was always delivered promptly at the time we had rerequested. The nightly turn down service (complete with a hand written note card with the following days' weather forecast) was just another example of the extraordinary service provided. We can't wait to return!!

Location and Lovely Interiors. Great Service!

Beautiful hotel. The interior was gorgeous. The terrace was not very private so might not be worth the extra money. Location was very walkable and loved the extras including a choice of pillows. I forgot how nice the buckwheat pillows are - inspired me to order one for home. Their signature scent is lovely - they should think about selling the oil for diffusers.
