This hotel was affordable & conveniently located in a decent neighborhood and not too far of a drive from visitor attractions. The room was comfortable, adequately equipped, and had ample space.

It’s an old property so don’t expect to much . The breakfast was good . Self service , outside on a covered patio between the rooms . Not really enough tables so we had to sit on a nice little rocking swing . This did make eating a bit difficult. Eat as much as you like . The streetcar from downtown was only a street away . Ok area .

Thank you Brad- it was my absolute pleasure to have you and your charming wife in for the night celebrating your wedding anniversary! As the last guest we will ever check in, it gave me great happiness to offer you a bottle of champagne as a congratulations on the special occasion. Take care, and again, Thank you!

Old French style architecture was very interesting and convenient to the streetcar line. The second bed was in a loft and was pretty cool, but that bed didn't get made when housekeeping came. Breakfast was served outside in the concourse and that was nice to sit outside, but had it rained could have been a problem.

Good evening, thank you for writing review. i do apologize for the oversight of making the loft bed . I brought this to the attention of hskp supervisor. Our courtyard breakfast is a unique experience, but one that does have its limitations. When weather is compromised, we do bring it into the lobby for buffet service.

This hotel is very special, it is family style. The room is very clean, with delicate furniture and lamps , when you open the door of the room, you feel like you are at home! That is what we like the most! The breakfast is simple, but very nice and you sit outside, with tree and flowers around! We enjoyed our 2 nights stay very much! It is very close to the street car, only a few blocks, a lot of restaurants around.

Thank you so very kindly for the review- we are so thrilled to know you enjoyed your stay. We do strive to meet our guests expectations on every level. It was our pleasure having you be apart of our family before we close- the hotel is being sold and new owners take over September 8th - and they are closing the operations down for all 3 of our properties to renovate to reopen some date on the infors future- Take care and again, thank you!

Excellent across the board. Very good value and friendly people. They responded very quickly about accommodating our very late check in and to help us find and book a same day gator boat ride. Walking distance to streetcars so we saved a whole lot on parking and driving.

Older hotel in the Garden District; safe, free, well-lit parking; comfortable bed. Minimal breakfast served outside with few choices and few seats; damp feeling in the room.

Response from Dori, GM on 16 June 2023
Thank you for the feedback. I am not sure you saw or realized, we have seating all around the courtyard, just not near the buffet table. Breakfast is marketed as an expanded contiental. Just so you know, industry Std Continental is breakfast breads w/coffee and Juice. Since we expanded it, We have so much more we offer Besides Thomas' English Muffins, we offer 3 flavors Yogurt, 2 cold cereals, 2 hot cereals, granola as a topper or just a bowl of granola, and dole sugar free fruit cups. The dampness is the humidity of New Orleans that we do our best to control in the rooms. But being a "courtyard" hotel, room door open to the courtyard, which allows dampness to creep in.

Overall Prytania park hotel was fine for a small hotel. I really enjoyed the free parking and the price was right compared to more expensive hotels closer to the convention convention center. Breakfast was somewhat limited and the hotel had limited amenities. Also, I thought the shower curtain was disgusting. Overall the stay was acceptable for my family of four (wife and two preteen daughters). I wish it was closer to the convention center.

Dear Daniel, I am a bit confused. I am glad to read you appreciated the Free Parking with our valued room rate pricing. We are only a 10 min walk to the Convnt. Ctr., but then you said you wished you had stayed closer to the Convt Ctr. Had you stayed closer to the convnt.center, you would have paid minimal, 35 per night for parking (plus taxes and gratuity), and minimal, 40 per night plus taxes for the room. We saved you about 90 per night! Breakfast is quite expanded in relationship to industry std. continental fare. Std continental fare is breakfast breads w/coffee and juice. We opted to expand to include, THomas English Muffins, 2 cold cereals, 2 hot cearals, honey almond granola, 3 flavors yogurt, dole sugar free fruit cups. Amenities limited, not sure what you were expecting, but we market as a limited service hotel. Meaning, no pool, no bar/lounge/no restaurant. There are 6 very good restaurants within a 3 block radius of the hotel, several good bars too. We checked the shower curtain in the room you stayed in. I am not sure what you thought was disgusting, unless you didnt like the fact it was vinyl liner with a cloth outer layer. It was perfect clean, no mold or mildew and smelled like bathroom cleaners since we serviced your room daily while you were here. Thank you again for the feedback. Safe travels.

Nice stay in New Orleans
Great location on the edge of the garden district, 2 min walk from legendary #12 trolley bus stop. Nice comfortable room and bathroom, quiet and cool. Good value too. 2 downsides - minimal housekeeping, we had to ask for clean towels and more toiletries at the end of our 3rd day, and found a dirty cigarette under the bed. Other thing was the amount of plastic waste associated with breakfast set up and lack of recycling of all items thrown into one bin. Was surprised at this generally in the US.

Response from Dori , GM on 26 June 2023
Dear Anonymous, i am sorry for any housekeeping pitfalls. We , as most hotels, are still struggling with short staffing, and as busy as we have been, sometimes small items fall through the cracks. We do our best to not have this happen, but it does from time to time. I will certainly look into the cigarette under the bed as our rooms are non smoking. As to recycling, since Hurricane Katrina, recycling bins haven’t been provided to commercial businesses, only residential. Commercial properties depend on waste management companies to haul garbage and do the recycling directly.

Thank you Stacey for the review. We appreciate the feedback , as we read these to ensure we are doing our best job for our guests. As a Limited Service Hotel, We market our breakfast as an Expanded Continental fare, not a full breakfast fare. What that means, we added to the industry standard of Continental, which is Breakfast pastries, coffee and orange juice- to the breakfast pastries of English Muffins, we added, 2 cold cereals, (Raisin Bran and Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds), 2 hot cereal options,( Oatmeal in 4 flavors, Grits- in 4 flavors), We have Yogurt ( 3 flavors) , Dole Sugar Free fruit cups ( 3-4 varieties). Certainly, there’s something for everyone to get their day started. I hope you enjoyed our City Take care and have a wonderful Spring.

Spiral Staircase Not For Faint of Heart
I chose this hotel for the parking, which was good (it's own lot, well-lit). We walked a block to St. Charles St. and there were a few restaurants, a Walgreens, Burger King within a few blocks, and we felt safe walking there at night. After a few blocks we weren't sure if it was safe to go farther so we didn't. We took the trolley car to the French Quarter, which was convenient. Our room was on the 2nd floor and had 2 queen beds, but the 2nd one was in a loft and there was a narrow metal staircase to access it. Being older, I hoped I wasn't taking my life in my hands using it to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I hung on tightly and used my phone for light and it worked out. It was the one hotel (in 8 during the trip) in which the bed wasn't so hard, so that pleased me since I prefer a softer bed. Breakfast is limited, but that didn't bother me. I can live without biscuits & gravy.

Quaint place to stay
We were in New Orleans for 1 night only. Prytania Park Hotel was perfect for our stay. It was not from everything we did during the day and for the next morning to make a stop at Cafe Dumont before heading on the road. It was a quaint hotel with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the spring weather. We would stay again if we ever return to New Orleand.

The hotel is a little run down, but I expected that for the price. My room was a little worn, but clean. The staff were great. I got into town several hours before check-in and wanted to see if I could drop off my bags. They let me check in early, which made things very convenient. Checkout was quick and easy.

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for taking time to write a review. Please accept our apologies for whatever you thought was " little worn". During the pandemic, we were able to replace carpets, bathroom floors, window treatments, new bed and terry linens and finally repaint. However, with no revenue for 22 months, resources were limited so we choose to do refurnishing room with those items, and will address furniture as revenues increase coming out of the pandemic. Our focus is to make sure rooms are cleaned, sterilized and set for our guests appropriately. We will get to replacement of furniture hopefully this year heading into 2024. Take care, and again, Thank you !
