I loved staying at the Château Orleans! I stayed downstairs next to reception, and rarely heard other guests. I do love fresh air, so I liked being able to open my door and sit in a chair in the pool/patio area, and sip the complimentary coffee that they set up out there every morning.
This is an 1800s hotel, and has great character - a full size chandelier over my 4 poster bed, wow! I did not smell any mildew and I am super sensitive to that.
The hotel standard bathroom was clean, & my sheets and bedding were very comfortable.
I was glad I was four blocks from Bourbon Street! Still, I think any street in the French quarter is fair game for cars cruising late at night, with stereos blaring.
Paul was fun to talk to while he was manning the front desk, and he had all the maps and info I could ever need. Be aware that his text messages are short and to the point. Don’t take them the wrong way - he answers the questions succinctly!
I will definitely stay here again in future!
