Hotels near John McDonogh Monument, New Orleans

Absolutely love this hotel. It was my second time here, and I honestly didn’t expect to be blown away by the expertise and service level demonstrated by the bar, but it was hands down the best hotel bar we have ever experienced! Tammy was incredible- best Hurricane in New Orleans, and so lovely and sweet! Craig was also amazing, knowledgeable, and so friendly. We don’t typically spend time at the bar in our hotel because we’d prefer to go out and see the sights, but we’re glad we stopped by! The housekeeping was also incredibly helpful and great when our coffee maker broke. Rooms were lovely and clean, beds were comfortable. Hotel is walking distance to the Quarter, as well as plenty of restaurants in the CBD. Nice quiet area also. The front desk receptionist was incredible when I had forgotten to check in the night before for our room (we landed at 5:45am), and was quick to resolve the issue. Love this property, and will come back again and again!

I had my doubts but I am glad I stayed at this location. The hotel is in a good spot for touring the city whether by car or on foot. At the core of my contentment is the person working the front desk during my check-in and during my stay - Ms. Nivea H. From the first day through our last day she worked to ensure customer service was as best as it could be. I will not say she is the only front desk person able to provide great customer service, I hope that the management culture and training emphasizes this to all their employees. However, she is the main person that we experienced. The breakfast is also great, but the food throughout my time in New Orleans was great. Parking is interesting, but I used the hotel's valet and it worked out well. I hope you have the same experience that we did, since coming to New Orleans should be fun and relaxing even if you came here due to work reasons.

I loved the experience. It was right around the corner from everything (Bourbon St. Canal St. etc). Highly recommended.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean room and common areas. The only reason I gave a 4/5 on facilities is because I don't think we should have had to pay $25 to park in the hotel parking garage!

The location is ideal,stright line to the french quarter and all the hot spots( 10. to 12 minutes walk). The rooms are speacious and have simple modern layout. There is Nespersso coffee machine with complmentary coffee, very much appriciated. The bathroom is also specious and clean, over all a very pleasant 3 night stay, highly recomend it to anyone.

This hotel was fantastic. It’s located right next to a streetcar station. Our room had a mini-kitchen with cutlery and dishes, a washing machine and a dryer. The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much.

Lovely place to stay. We had a little loft room with a balcony and chandelier. Very romantic!

I wasted a points redemption on this hotel. We booked it because it was near where our friend lived. Next time we will stay farther out. We were there for the 1st Mardi Gras weekend. During check-in, the front desk staff was distracted talking to each other about non-work-related stuff instead of engaging with the guests. (We observed this to be the norm every time we came and went) The drink coolers in the retail area only had a few diet drinks and water. When we asked when it would be refilled, the clerk told us, ”it's Mardi Gras season. We might get some more after that”. Yes, it's arguably the busiest tourist season for New Orleans, call your distributor or tell the manager to go to the grocery store. We booked a room with a king and a sleeper sofa. The sleeper didn't have any sheets, nor were there any that could be used to make the bed ourselves. The top sheet and blanket weren't even tucked in on the king bed. Based on other TA reviews, we brought our own towels. The coffee supplies had not been replenished. Breakfast was nothing special and not replenished until guests asked

We had a really late check in (4 am) the first night, after a long drive. Jada at the front desk was so energetic and kind and accommodating to us. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the lobby and gym provided us a good place to get work and work outs done. We didn’t get the name of everyone on staff, but everyone we interacted with was so kind and helpful to us. Possibly one of the best (of many) hotels we have ever stayed in! 10/10 would stay again.

The rooms are nice and clean. The housekeeping staff do a great job. The breakfast is good and attendants helpful, but the stress this place caused me was not worth it. I got a call two hours before check in telling me they didn’t have a room for me the first might of my check in. They sent me to the Best Western in Westwego. 🤮. The manager there acted like he was giving me a comp room. Those were his words when in fact I had paid completely for my room at the plus, not that awful motel. The carpet there is disgusting. The manager at the plus gave me the difference in cash for the price difference when we checked in the next day, which I appreciated and said as a Christian I will let the fact that I was targeted as the only guest sent somewhere else go. But, it never got better. I got charged for the room and had to discuss with the front desk although it was paid in full. Then, the vending machine didn’t work and took my money, so I went to the front desk and the guy there made me feel like I was the problem because I said I don’t understand why I have had so many issues here. Needless to say, this place really added unnecessary stress to my trip and I still don’t know why I was the one targeted on the day I was scheduled to check in. I really tried to make the best of it and be kind but everyone I know in the hotel industry said this was unacceptable and they should have fully comped the first night, not just give me the price difference. I just couldn’t get them to budge on anything and see my point of view, so I gave up. Everyone said they would have made them give me a room because that was the worst treatment of a customer, but it didn’t matter how much I said it was unacceptable. They catered to other guests and targeted me for whatever reason. They said guests didn’t check out, left belongings in the room, and they couldn’t reach those guests. This said to me you value people who don’t honor your rules and regulations more than someone like me, who paid in advance and does honor rules and regulations. I personally believe they let those guests stay and didn’t care about my reservation. This is the most poorly run hotel I have ever dealt with and I travel a lot. My husband warned me not to stay at a Best Western because his experience is always with Hilton and Marriott properties, but the location was ideal for being close to family. My son even said how much closer it was than the horrible, disgusting Westwego one they sent us to. I wish this wouldn’t have been our experience because I travel to the area a lot to visit family and was hopeful we could stay here on all visits but the amount of stress they caused me this trip is not worth it. If you want to make sure you have a reservation, then this is not the place to stay. You can be the random target they choose to send elsewhere for customers who don’t care about policies.
