What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the French Market Inn for its convenient location in the French Quarter, its charming atmosphere steeped in history, and its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. However, some guests found the rooms to be small, with limited space for luggage, and noted that the hotel's prime location on a busy tourist street could make entering and exiting difficult.

So the French market inn is perfect if you want an authentic new Orleans experience. There are beautiful mazes of brick hallways, and the decor in the rooms are elegant. Also felt very safe. You need your hotel key to get into the building after 10 and at all times to use the elevator. There was a wonderful bell hop that met us on the street and loaded our bags to a cart and he brought them up to the room while we parked. They have parking but it's a public lot across the street. My only issue is that the room was tiny. We got the deluxe with 2 queen beds and it was very tight. The building is older which was the point and the AC did work but somehow the room still felt kinda stuffy but I expected older plumbing but the bathroom was definitely upgraded which was a present surprise, and had kholer fixtures. Oh I cant forget My favorite was the ornate mirror on the wall was a closet door! Overall I loved it and would totally stay here again

I stayed here for 1 week and while the interior no-windows room felt a little strange, I spent most of my time out in the city, so it was fine. The beds were comfortable the shower water pressure was amazing, and the courtyard was a lovely place to sit for a while. The staff were very friendly and helpful - even after my stay. I had left a couple items in my room and didn't realize until days after leaving. They had kept my items and mailed them back to me for a reasonable cost.

The employees were very courteous. The room not very spacious. More importantly they were nice and clean. Bathroom was very clean. I do wish hotels would put in a foot stool or something like that in the showers.

French Market Inn is a charming boutique-style hotel with a great atmosphere. The property was clean, and everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

I wouldn't stay anywhere else in New Orleans. Amazing courtyard, amazing room, amazing staff, amazing pool, amazing water pressure. Genuinely sad to go home.
