The Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel garners appreciation for its cleanliness and charming ambiance, highlighted by unique decor like exposed brick walls. Its central location is a hit for its convenience to attractions, though the buzz of the city sometimes filters through.
While rooms are commended for their tidiness, some guests suggest they could benefit from more space and minor repairs. The staff is generally applauded for being helpful, yet a few visitors have pointed out service inconsistencies. Opinions on value are split; guests enjoy the affordability but have reservations about the breakfast and additional fees.

We booked a double queen room and arrived about 11:15am, our room was ready so was able to check in. Assigned room 407, a corner room over looking magazine street, it is a longish room. Based on the trapezoidal floor plan behind the door, each room on the floor has odd configurations with corner rooms being the largest shape.
If you look carefully, around the edges, it is a bit worn with some stains, peeling paint, corner dust bunnies and updating is needed but overall, quite happy with the quality and level of service for the price I paid. We didn't feel unsafe staying here and the staff are friendly. It is 10 minute walk or so to get to Jackson Sq (quote unquote heart of FQ). We walked everywhere without issues.
In-room safe was not bolted down so we didn't use it. There was a hair dryer, mini fridge, iron and ironing board. Coffee/tea unit from Keurig. Decent counterspace in the bathroom vanity/sink. This hotel didn't skimp on the closet hangers and there are TWO luggage racks, the first time I've encountered a hotel offering 2 in a room with 2 beds.
Room 407 AC is VERY LOUD starting up sounding like an old clunker car it does startled us when it starts up. The shower water pressure is great but the drain isn't so with the showerhead at full blast, you will be standing in a pool of dirty water until it drains.
The next morning, the toilet wouldn't flush, upon checking, the water tank chain came loose. What came loose was a plastic tie that broke, I guess it had been fixed before. We went down to ask for a room change and thankfully one on our floor was available which makes moving our stuff easier.
We got room 406, on the other side of the floor overlooking Common St, not a corner room so the configuration is smaller, even the bathroom sink/vanity was smaller so was a bit hard to put all our toiletries. Thankfully, the TV console was right outside the bathroom door so we put everything there. On the plus side, there is a window in the bathroom (you can't open it though), AC is quieter, and the shower drains great.
Breakfast weekday hours 7am-9am, weekends to 10am and a menu is posted to let you know what is being served. There is a machine that makes 2 perfectly cooked pancakes. It's fun for the kids.
It's a bit strange to get inside the building, even though the door sign says use room key to enter after 10pm, but during the day you had use the room key as otherwise doors won't open.
Hotel is pet friendly and parking and gym is off-site with separate fees.
Would definitely stay here again if I visit New Orleans in the future.

This place was really nice. I would stay here again. I love that the rooms don’t have carpet. My room was very clean. The hotel had a beautiful decore. The exposed brick was really nice. The lobby had beautiful chandeliers. They do have a small continental breakfast that was good. They do allow dogs. This hotel is walking distance to everything.

The location is truly ideal--adjacent to the French Quarter but without the noise and chaos of being IN the Quarter. We visited New Orleans on St. Patrick's Day weekend, and with having young children, it was imperative that we find a safe place for us to tuck in for the evening. Parking was a couple of blocks away, but we were able to unload our items in our room and move our car, thus not requiring a walk through NOLA with our luggage. There was also breakfast available every morning, which was great for a family on a budget. The hotel was beautiful, as the exposed brick walls added such character. There is NOT room for a rollaway bed though, and the rooms are smaller than the average hotel room, so if you are going to be spending lots of time in the room, that would be something to consider. However, it was perfect for our family!

This turned out to be one of the best experiences I've had at a Best Western Hotel period. We recieved the news Moday night that our flight was cancelled due to snow and ice. It turned out we were holed up at St. Christopher for the rest of the week. The entire staff at St. Christopher stepped up. Jeffry kept scheduling and cancelling cab rides to the airport. Walterene was serving breakfast the first couple of days we were there. Even the hotel staff had to stay over during the storm. Mo ended up serving breakfast. I apologize I didn't write down all the names of St. Christopher staff members. They were all magnificent. The manager started up bingo in the evenings and called all the rooms to invite them to join. We were served complimentory dinners which included local fried chicken and Beans&Rice. New Orleans itself was basically shut down but we felt warm and comfortable while waiting out the storm

Stayed at this location before, I like the old style of yhr hotel itself however my last visit underwhelmed me. Check in was fast. I think Dianond checked me and I got my keys fast. No wait time at all. I liked the suxe and layout of my room. Your not in the middle of everything but still close enough to it all. Quick steps to food and entertainment. Depending on when you stay there that is. This particular location doesn't honor or waive incidental fees like some other Best Western properties. Attention to cleanliness and rust is much needed. Elevators are super slow. Rooms need major repairs, but I mmlw with an older property it greatly various from room to room. All on all, a decent stay, rested and slept good. Not to impressed this time.

Great hotel in a great location!! The staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean. The rooms are kind of small but this is NOLA, who needs to be in the room when there is so much to do!!
Special thanks to Ray!! He made sure our check-in was smooth and easy, offered restaurant suggestions and anything else we needed. Housekeeping made sure our rooms were cleaned daily and trash removed. Never once had to ask for towels.
Highly recommend.

I recently had the misfortune of staying at the Best Western St. Christopher and it was hands down one of the worst hotel experiences of my life. The weather was brutal, with temperatures dipping below 40 degrees at night, and to my shock, the room's heating system was completely non-functional. Legally, hotels are required to provide adequate heating, but apparently, that policy doesn’t apply here.
We reported the issue, and while the staff initially seemed responsive, the "fix" provided by the maintenance worker was laughable. He merely blew cold air into an already freezing room. When we raised concerns again, we were given the same runaround with no effective solution other than to move to another room, but SEVERAL other guests had the same issue so what was the point. Imagine trying to sleep, bundled in every piece of clothing you brought, only to still shiver through the night. It was a nightmare.
To add insult to injury, we were told we couldn’t be compensated for the night because we booked through a third-party service. That’s absolutely unacceptable. Whether you book directly or not, a hotel is responsible for providing basic living conditions—and warmth in sub-50-degree weather certainly qualifies as basic!
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and your sanity—there are plenty of other hotels that care about their guests and respect basic legal and ethical standards.

Rooms are small, shampoo and soaps is not even enough for one person. Fridge not working , Toilet is leaking and water is all over the place whenever we flush the toilet . We need to pay more than 30dollars for the parking and It would be nice to be given a heads up that the parking area is not within the hotel, that you need to park somewhere else. It’s not so convenient when you have kids with you . It’s a disaster !

The employees were wonderful and very helpful! They appeared however to be understaffed when we stayed. The hotel pro’s are location, price, breakfast, coffee makers and mini fridge in rooms. The con’s NOT clean!!! If you don’t mind bringing your own cleaning supplies from home and doing a bit of room and bathroom cleaning before your stay you should be good. Overall, if the price was right I would probably stay again because the employees were extremely helpful, location was good and having breakfast and free all day coffee is a plus for me.

The property is across Canal from a corner of the French Quarter. The room was average and what I've come to expect from Best Western Plus. Nothing extravagant but a good deal for the price. Nightly rate was less than half the price of a room in a higher rated vintage luxury hotel inside the French Quarter, for a cleaner, more comfortable and better maintained room. Staff was good-natured, unintrusive, and accommodating, though at times hard to track down.

Parking costs additional I think the fee and location are mentioned on the website. The parking lot is off-site, meaning not within the hotel's building but rather at a nearby lot.
