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

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

My wife and I spent four nights at the Lamothe House as part of a week long trip back to New Orleans. We picked Lamothe House mainly on the basis of nice some pics on the booking site (not best idea, I know) and location. At steps away from Frenchman Street, Lamothe House fulfilled this latter need well. In other... More
