Let's start with the positives. The service staff was very friendly, efficient, and helpful. The room was clean, and well maintained. The location, while a 15-20 minute walk to the action on Bourbon Street, was conveniently close to Frenchman's Street that contained numerous restaurants and jazz clubs. Now for the rest of it: 1. We made reservations for Mardi Gras,... More

To preface, I had unexpected back surgery 5 days prior to my visit. This is important to know because: a) there is no elevator and b) there is no bellhop service. There were some customer service snags as a result of this as well, which could have been handled better at the time, by the front desk - which is... More

The LaMothe House Hotel has a lot of character. I believe that travelers can have two different impressions depending on their room. We stayed in the main house where the rooms are restored with antiques and give you very much the feel of the original French Quarter. That may include a sofa that may look beautiful but may not be... More

Just returned from New Orleans Jazzfest and were almost inclined not to share this as it could be our secret next time. Lovely old property just outside the French Quarter and right next to Frenchman Street, convenient for everything you want in New Orleans..Simple clean accommodation with every essential facility you need, don't expect a corporate hotel experience This is...

Located very close to the French Market. A ten minute walk will get you to wherever you want to be in the French Quarter. It is more of a guest house than a hotel - with a main, older building and numerous outbuildings which have been converted into rooms. Our room was towards the back of the complex, newly renovated.... More

We got a verry nice room in the dependence behint the hotel itself. The (2) front room has a balcony. Quiet street, and close to the (closed) parking lot. Mid April we got a special offer: 3 for 2 nights. Pleasant people. The hotel are on the eastern edge of the French Quarter. No breakfast. The restaurant "Alfredo" around the... More

It’s true. We have fallen in love with New Orleans - and with that, a number of New Orleans digs. Even so, your Set of Drifters hate getting into a rut, and that’s precisely why we seek out new locations every time we “check into” NOLA. It all started back in 2003 with a great stay at the now-defunct Hotel... More

To begin, I absolutely love New Orleans. It is a magically enthralling place rich with culture, music, history, architecture, personality, good people, and fun. This place captured my heart years ago and I have been visiting a least once a year since. My father and I started the tradition of running the Crescent City race 3 years ago. The most... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Lamothe House in March of this year. We booked the hotel through priceline on our way into New Orleans based on the price and location. What a fabulous find! The location was great, we parked our car in the secured parking lot and walked everywhere. A block off of Frenchman Street and just a... More

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are extremely sorry to hear that our front door caused your stay to be anything less than you had hoped it would be. Thanks to your candid feedback we are working on resolving the matter and should have the "banging door" fixed in the very near future! We would love the... More

Furnished with antique furniture & artwork, the detail and charm that exemplifies old New Orleans is accessible to today’s traveler.Not to be overlooked is the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood the Lamothe House calls home. Here visitors will find Frenchmen Street, often referred to as “the local’s Bourbon Street”, which features some of the best local music and cuisine found in the French Quarter.Whether it’s your first or your next visit to the Big Easy, find the authentic New Orleans experience you are searching for at the Lamothe House. ... more   less
