This property is located amongst a variety of dining and shopping options. It’s in close proximity to many of New Orleans attractions. The property is in need of some updates. Their staff was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay here.

The bed was very comfortable and the location was just what I was looking for - but - - I was expecting a city view - the room was prepaid through Expedia but 3 additional 'holds' were placed on my Visa card totalling over $1700.00 and one was added the day AFTER we checked out. - the carpet was so dirty that our bare feet and socks turned brown on the bottom and left dirty footprints on the tile floor in the bathroom - furnishing were old and uncomfortable - lighting was not good - pillows were very small - cafe open untial 11AM and restaurant not opend mon - Wed. onsight restaurant and cafe were the main reason for choosing this hotel - overall I was not happy

Rude staff. Called prior to arrival to cancel my stay and the person on the other end repeatedly hung up on me. When I stated I was contacting my financial institution if charged, I was told go ahead, it wouldn't stop anything.

Jak na **** to słabo….

Pozostawiony brudny ręcznik po poprzednich gościach na stojaku na walizki, brudna podłoga w łazience, 1 mini buteleczka szamponu, 1 buteleczka żelu do kąpieli i 2 buteleczki odżywki na 3 gości to wg mnie trochę za mało. Ręczniki w lekko przerdzewiałych koszach pod umywalką z czego dolny ręcznik leży praktycznie na podłodze (niestety brudnej). Zasłona prysznicowa za krótka więc woda zalewa łazienkę. Prysznic zepsuty. Brak wieszaka na ręcznik. Klucz - jeden do pokoju z wygrawerowanymi mini numerkami. Na plus - duży ładny pokój.

BLACK MOLD - DIRTY - VALET CAN NOT DRIVE STICK

We were really looking forward to our stay at the Pontchartrain Hotel (6/21–6/22/25), but our experience was incredibly disappointing. Our room was not clean — trash behind the toilet, dust on most surfaces, and something visibly dripping down the bedroom window and sill. The bathroom had dirty grout, a soaking wet shower curtain, and floors that left our feet filthy. Worst of all, the bedroom windowsill was soft, leaking, and covered in black mold — a serious health concern and clear sign of neglect. The valet service was even worse. Our manual-transmission car came back smelling like burning plastic. A staff member admitted the valet didn’t know how to drive stick but drove it anyway — twice. The next day, no one on staff could drive a manual, so my fiancé had to retrieve the car himself, even though we were being charged nearly $60 for valet. That fee was only refunded after we raised the issue multiple times. When we reported everything to hotel management, including Javonna Wallace, we were told nothing could be done because we booked through Hotels.com. Even after Hotels.com tried to help, the hotel refused all offers of partial compensation. Between unsafe conditions, mold, and car mishandling, we cannot recommend this hotel. This was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve had

Loved the asthetic of the property. Old but very clean and beautifly done. Beds were very comfy. The room was a very good size and the bathroom was huge. Close walking distance to restaurants and a very nice stroll during the day to see some beautiful homes. We would definitely stay again.

We checked out a day early because the property was very old, musty, and there are drug addicts in front of the hotel who harass the guests. The staff who work the front of the hotel such as doorman and person who watches the door does absolutely nothing. They didn’t even open the door for us when we checked in. They’re just on their phone.
