It was a couple of years back now but i thought i would write up a review on my experience at the Andrew Jackson...
We turned up (in the off season) on the doorstep just looking for some cheap accomodation somewhere convenient in the french quarter. There were 5 of us travelling around the US on the cheap and this meant sharing a room everywhere we went... Anyway, we were greeted by a Clay Aiken lookalike on the door (similar accent and everything) and due to the fact that we couldnt really sneak half of us into the room without going past this guy, explained our situation to him. He was not only cool with it but for the price of the room with only a double upgraded us into a larger, comfy room just off the courtyard.
Loved the location, was a sweet room, great service and good times all round...
I dont know how up to date this is and maybe Clay isnt working there anymore but i would still give the AJ the thunmbs up if you are looking for somewhere to stumble back to after a big night on Bourbon street...

We Loved the Location. I was So very Disapointed in SOME OF THE Staff. The man John that checked us in was Fantastic.. I was not so Happy on the Next time I has to deal with the FRONT DESK. My remote Batteries were dead. I called Down and asked to have some brought to my Room... That is a laugh. I was told You can COME get some IF >>>> IF we have any. I got dressed and walk down stairs to get the Batteries. Took them back to my Room.... Guess what They did nto work... I walked Back down stairs to get 2 More. I was Asked " Were are the ones I just Gave you"? I said I left them up stairs They do not Work. I was told I need them back. I was told with Attitude... I think we will stay somewhere else on our Next trip. We come to N.O. bout 5 times a year. Mike and Lisa Junot.. room 210

The best thing I can say regarding this hotel is it's great location. If you want to be steps away from everything and are not picky, it's ok. Not good, not great, just ok.

"Worn" is a good term to use to describe the facility. Our room was extremely small with furniture which looked like it had been bought from a roadside flea market. As everyone stated previously, the bed felt as though we were sleeping on an oak door. The hand sewn curtains and plastic mini blinds did not meet the wall, which enabled ample amounts of streetlight to bounce freely about the room. There are no thermostats, so if you get cold easily or burn up, tough. Yes, it was stated our room came complete with a bathroom. What it did not say was that it only contained a very small "soap the walls and spin" shower-stall with a curtain that was a foot shy of the floor.

Oh yeah, very limited parking is an understatement. Enjoy their "free" fitness program when you are forced to walk 5 blocks in order to park your car at the Mississippi River (Parking is NOT free, Go on an add an additional $20.00 a day).

Since I only live 2 hours away, we spend ample time in the Quarter every year. We have stayed several places better and worse than this hotel. The bottom line is we only paid $89.10 a night to sleep in The French Quarter(plus $80.00 parking). Notice I said "sleep". The room was clean, the location was great, but if you are looking for a posh resort with all the amineties, this ain't it. If you are a "go with the flow type", which could sleep anywhere just to have a good time, book away.

I booked this hotel stay in a rush.. not reading reviews, which is important. I read the reviews after we booked(before we got there) Let me inform you of what its really like. It is in a nice area. It is one block from bourban, two blocks from decauter. The secure parking lot is three blocks away by the St. Pierre hotel. The hotel is supposely haunted. It feels that way when you walk in. I want not advise you to stay with children at this hotel. The rooms are incrediable small. The rooms are old looking. THE BED, at least the room we stayed in, ARE SO HARD. Which one review said.... We brought our own pillow and blanket. It is almost like staying in someone else's bed. The hosts were very nice, but werid! The hotel is supposely haunted by two kids... its scary. Not a comforable place to stay. It kinda smells in the hotel..Not a strong nasty smell...but just like an old smell! We were sooooo werided out by the first 4 hours we were there...that we honestly were going to eat our money and go to another hotel room in New Orleans. Also..There is NO returns for any reason.... There is a two night minimum..... I believe if you cancel your first night before you stay you only pay the rate of one night! Not exactly what I would call a nice cosy stay! Please read reviews before you stay!!!
