It’s not fancy - but I don’t like and didn’t want that - I prefer places with history over run to the mill, drywalled compartment rooms. the staff was friendly, check in and out was simple, the room was perfect for me - clean, cozy, comfortable bed. The location is great - not directly in the quarter so it was pretty quiet and walkable. If I’m in Nola again, I would definitely return to this hotel.

We had asked the front desk from day one for towels to block the 1 inch gap under the door as bugs were coming in and we didn't want to be extra and ask for a new room. We were told that due to the rainy day, the hotel was out of extra towels and was promised more but never got them. We ended up using one of our own face towels and one of the towels provided by the hotel upon our arrival to block the gap. The hotel accidentally took our face towel when they came to clean up the next day, but we still heard nothing about the solution for the gap. We found a dead millipede in our bathroom the one day the new hotel towels were placed on the bed and not the bathroom. It was an overall confusing experience that left us wishing the hotel had been more clear on the room layout and location.

Excellent stay with one concern- The Back Door

The property was well maintained, the staff was polite, the bed was very comfortable and we were in walking distance to everything fun in the French Quarter. My only complaint was the back property entrance-exit door which was slamming at all hours of the night. I asked if we could be moved, however we were told that the property was sold out for the weekend and we could not be accommodated. I recommend this place as long as you’re not staying in the back of the property as you will be woken all night if that door issue isn’t resolved.

Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff, well maintained historic property with the benefit of a lovely courtyard and pool. This hotel is ideal for people who get the tradeoffs that historic properties can include uneven floors and not having an elevator. The one negative element is Lamothe's move to digital keys. You have to download an app to get your key and the app often does not work. Internet can be tricky in large older buildings and it often took me three tries or more to get into my room. Downloading and fiddling with an app is an added effort and not as easy or hospitable a getting a key. Other than that, I recommend Lamothe. It's value is way beyond what you'd expect from a two star hotel.
