The ambience of Melrose Mansion added a great deal to our visit to New Orleans. The room was absolutely stunning - high ceilings, an incredible chandelier, high soft bed, lovely bedding, and big soft pillows. The furniture was a little "distressed", the bathroom far from spacious or luxurious, and the plumbing quite iffy. But when you're staying in a very... more

Do not stay in this hotel! We originally booked two nights in April, but left after the first night. When we booked we were promised fresh flowers in the room, there were none. It took over half an hour to get into our room because they couldn't find the correct key. There were no tea and coffee making facilities in... more

Large room & bathroom, cozy atmosphere and comfy bed. Offers coffee and little breakfast snack in morning. Offers pool for guests and easy parking. Right near all of French District and numerous bars and restaurants. Be cautious traveling, as local bar tenders told us to "be careful out there" due to high rise in crime since Hurrican Katrina. This is... more

Hello Everyone; Just back from the Melrose we had a wonderful stay. The staff were pleased to see us and check in was a breeze. We stayed in the Donecio suite, very nice huge room. Private balcony which was perfect for catching the late afternoon rays. The pool was clean but not heated, maybe not this time of year as... more

The Melrose Mansion is on the far edge of the French Quarter, on Esplanade. Parking is on the street, which is unsecure and hard to find. The neighborhood is a bit scary, with police sirens cruising by all night. There was no one to help carry bags up long Victorian staircase. The bathroom sink was coming away from the wall... more

My fiance and I often go to New Orleans, and we have stayed at the Melrose Inn 3 times. We would stay again if the crime situation had not accelerated so much recently in the Marigny area, where the hotel is located. A woman was held up coming out of Port of Call, and then run over by a car.... more

We found a great rate on bookit for a deluxe room, and gave the mansion a call to see if they would match the rate. We were told that they only had a master suite or a standard room available. The master suite was too expensive so we settled on the standard for $79. When we arrived, we were told... more

As a local here to New Orleans, we have many places to choose from for a quick weekend getaway. But everytime we decided to stay at the Melrose. The Melrose is very relaxing, the staff is friendly, and the rooms are always clean. Also we like the Melrose because of its location to the french quarter. In the future we... more

We had a pleasant stay at the Mansion when we stayed there while in town for a wedding. No real complaints at all and the staff was helpful and friendly overall. After we left the hotel and we were in the airport, we realized we had left a very cherished 17 year old teddy bear in the room. We called... more

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. Half of the things in the room did not work (ie. whirlpool tub, lights in shower). The breakfast was not as indicated on the website. We were served storebought muffins and coffee out of a mug with no sugar or cream offered. The staff was rude upon arrival.... more
