I travel with my family and this Hotel was great for families and pet :) Clean, great services and very convenience to go to the touristics places near by. The street car is $1.25 per ride or $3.00 for 24 hours and it takes you everywhere in the city. The street car is located 1 block from the Hotel. The restaurant next door is great too.

Wonderful place to stay. Close to great restaurants and shopping. Our bed was so comfortable we slept like babies! Room had 2 big vanities and plenty of great light to put on makeup, etc. Very quiet and we had everything we needed-safe, microwave and lots of space to unpack your things. Free parking! We will be back. P.S. Pet friendly but our baby stayed with granmother.

The St Charles Inn was a very pleasant surprise for us. We are frequent visitors to New Orleans because we have 2 young grandchildren living there-our son and daughter in law too and have really felt since the initiation of Covid quality has gone way down and prices went way up. We have stayed in all ranges of hotels, from Windsor Court, the Loews, the Intercontinental to boutique facilities to limited services hotel. None of them gave us the value and satisfaction the St Charles in did during our 4 day stay.
To start with, the staff is great, gracious, friendly, helpful and just fun. The room, though a little small, was clean, well equipped and best of all was cleaned daily without asking, towels replaced, soap and shampoo replaced as needed.
The location worked well for us. We were traveling all of the city this weekend for a wedding and related events, to Jazzfest, and to visit friends and family. The uptown location made everywhere easy to get to and kept us out of downtown traffic and chaos. Best of all the off street parking was included in the room rate-as was breakfast-though we chose to go out.
The hotel has some great restaurants in walking distance and is in a very safe neighborhood. The front area was good to watch the passing scene and enjoy a drink.
We were surprised at the reasonable rate duringJazz fest weekend when everything else went thru the roof. This was an outstanding value.

Perfect for our need to be near a venue for a baby shower. Very cool ambiance and clean but minor updating would help.

Overall great place to stay with family, great continental breakfast and able to catch the trolly to multiple locations in NO. Room 202 had a musty smell and the bedside clock was not able to be changed to the correct time with multiple efforts but couldn’t change it. Asked maintenance but was not changed. :-(. But Room 220 was wonderful clean and new. The daytime manager was extra helpful in extra night stay for cancelled flight to stay one more day. Overall wonderful experience and will definitely return with friends/family.
