We were never told when we checked that there is a $250 fee if you lose the room key. We were given only one key for a 2 room suite. I explained that to the check out staff and she said it didn't matter and we would still be charged the $250 fee. They also wanted to charge me an extra day that we had reserved, but I had to leave a day early for an emergency situation. I had them call the manager and explain the situation and he agreed that we did not have to pay the extra day. The hotel is old, but the coffee shop was great. The staff at the hotel was very nice and helpful.

The staff was amazing. When we first got there one of the front valet walked us in, showed us where everything was, and then wrote down good places to eat while we visited. Our room was clean and had a perfect view of everything. And we are at the bar which was also perfect. All in all a good stay! Thank you!

The Pontchartrain Hotel is one of those places that instantly transports you to another era. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by its old-world charm, creaky wooden floors, brass fixtures, and a lobby that feels straight out of the 1920s. The attention to detail is wonderful; every corner tells a story. The room I stayed in was cozy and full of character, with vintage furniture and high ceilings. The bed was comfortable, and we had plenty of room for two. The location couldn’t be better, just in the heart of the Garden District but far enough away to enjoy some quiet at night. Breakfast was simple but fresh, and the hotel bar had an amazing old-school vibe. Jazz show was amazing. Reserve a table If I had one minor complaint, it’s that the building shows its age in a few places, some chairs in the room were a bit tattered , and AC sounded like a locomotive But honestly, that’s part of what gives it personality. Overall, the Pontchartrain Hotel captures the spirit of New Orleans beautifully charming, soulful, and full of history. I’d definitely stay here again
