This is a nice medium sized hotel, within walking distance to the French Quarters, and even nearer to Canal road, where you can catch the Streetcar to the Garden District. The staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful. There is a steak restaurant next door to the hotel, but I didn't get a chance to try the food there.... More

I read a lot of reviews commending the staff, maybe they had a turn over? Not just myself, but I watched and listened as they treated other guests with bored and grumpy attitudes. Only the young lady that checked us in late at night was pleasant, don't think the other ones know how to smile. The custodial staff was much... More

Just 2 quiet blocks outside the French quarter is this lies this lovely place. The room was delightful with more threads in the covering than you can count. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful (set up our room with a surprise from our kids; no business center but they printed our boarding passes). Small gripe: the word... More

Although the hotel isn't in the heart of French Quarter, I found that to be an asset. It's just a block or so off Canal Street, but far removed from the drunken craziness just a few blocks away (makes a big difference at night). Also, it's closer to the Convention Center & extremely close to a host of good restaurants... More

Our group of 6 fun folks had the best hospitality and customer service (from Rebecca) of any hotel we have ever stayed at in our 36+ visits to New Orleans as we always attend Quarter Fest or Jazz Fest in April over the past 30 years, so we have stayed at numerous hotels over the last 3 decades.

We had a large room, 12 foot ceiling, king bed plus couch, microwave and frig, all very comfortable and and dead quiet (in the second building, across the courtyard, along Natchez St). Free wifi was fine. Other reviewers have commented on the superb location in the CBD but near the Canal Street streetcars, the Quarter, and the river front. The... More

The St. James was cozy. The lobby is small but comfortable. Loved the courtyards. Our room was good sized, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and quite helpful with suggestions for sightseeing, restaurants and where to park. The location was the best. We were there primarily to see the World War II Museum and we...
