We enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was spacious, clean, and getting more towels/washcloths was not an issues. The breakfast was good but nothing out of the ordinary for a continental. The only issues was our toilet kept getting stopped up very easily. Would definitely stay again the next time we visit NOLA.

We booked this room sight unseen and no research. The price is what attracted us. What a pleasant surprise. Logistically it is placed well. $7 to $8 Uber dollars from the French Quarters. Two more financial perks are free parking and a continental breakfast which equates to about $65 daily. Now that said, this little hotel has a neat character all its own. It is kind of like staying at your grandmother's. If you plan to spend the day in the room this might not be the place for you. If you are sightseeing and want a place that has comfortable rooms, hospitable staff and guest that affords a great night of sleep, this is worth the visit. We plan to make this a place to return. Best roll of the dice we have made in a while.

My wife and I stayed at the Prytania Park Hotel in December of 2016 and were very happy with our stay. The staff was friendly and informative. The room was 2 levels with a spiral staircase, was very clean and comfortable. A short 2 minute walk to St. Charles Street in the Garden District, brought us to the trolley which gave us a cheap trip to and from the French Quarater. The continental breakfast was tasty, though choices were limited. That was my only disappointment. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone else.

We just love our room and location. Nothing but the friendliest staff at this historic site. Room is very clean and well furnished. Memory foam bed is like sleeping atop of a huge marshmallow. Nice after a hard day of walking in the heat of summer. I know where we will stay from now on!

Great customer service. Joe was very helpful and gave us lots of advise of things to do and great places to eat. Located only a block from the st Charles street car line. Room was small but very manageable. We really enjoyed the first floor access and the outside ambiance. Only down falls were the shower could have been cleaner and the room had a musty smell when you first entered. We could definitely feel the moisture in the room. We turned the ac down and it helped. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

My family recently spent one night at this super cute, quaint hotel prior to leaving for a cruise. I loved everything about it. The rooms are so much more fun than a big chain hotel. My girls stayed in the upper loft and my husband and I slept comfortably in the lower area. On the morning of our cruise, we enjoyed the outside breakfast buffet. I do think they could benefit by installing some outside ceiling fans to circulate more air. The staff was amazing. We were gone from the hotel about 20 minutes or so when I received a call saying my daughter had left her wallet in the upstairs loft. Her wallet contained her ID (which we HAD to have to get on the ship) and $300.00. When we returned to pick it up after much panic it was all there! Very honest and admirable people!
