We stayed here recently, in the property across from the main house in #306. This was a "girls weekend" type getaway, so we booked the Mardi Gras suite, which is the largest of all the rooms offered by Rothbone. The historical value and quaint appearance of both properties is appealing, but they have seriously neglected the basic in upkeep and... More

We stayed at the Rathbone for the Jazz Festival and couldn't have found a better place for location and comfort. Only a 20 min. walk to the Festival along Esplanade Ave which is tree lined with mansions along the way. 10 min walk in the other direction took us to the French Quarter or to Frenchman St for time after...

The breakfast was fantastic. Our first morning we were pleasantly surprised that Pat prepared the grits and greens. Wow is all I can say. At... More

We stayed for a long weekend. I love the location, very easy access to the quarter. I think the overall facility was okay. Our room definitely needed some love though. A hole in the wall by the closet....drain in the tub that did not drain... Bathroom that needed grouting.... just to name a few. I think Pat is trying to... More

My husband and I stayed at the Rathbone Mansion ll 3/20-3/24. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. We had some travel issues getting there Due to weather and flight delays and arrived a day late. Before arriving, I spoke with Pat who is extremely friendly and helpful. I only wish she was there throughout our stay. We only saw her... More

This was my second stay at the Rathbone Mansions--the first was in March 2011-- and even though it rained for most of our vacation, we had a wonderful time! The hotel is within walking distance to the french quarter (a cheap taxi cab ride), the staff are beyond friendly, the breakfast is delicious, the beds are very comfortable and the... More

My husband and I stayed at the Rathbone November 18-23, 2011. We enjoyed 5 wonderful nights. I read many reviews on Trip advisor before booking the Rathbone-some great, some good and a few bad reviews. To begin, the Rathbone experienced a switch in management a few years. from what I can tell, all the bad reviews were from BEFORE the... More

My wife and I stayed at this incredible place over the weekend (Feb. 10-13) and enjoyed every aspect of the Mansion. Pat and her staff were very helpful, a hoot to chat with and very helpful with any question we had. Upon arrival we were told that we had been upgraded to the Saints room which for me was great...

My husband and I stayed at the Rathbone Mansions for 3 nights and 4 days and loved our time there. We arrived late morning the first day and were welcomed with hot coffee and delicious coffee cake. We were also given a map and told of some of the "must sees" in the area. If you are looking for NOLA... More
