Historic Mardi Gras Inn

location is the only plus point for this hotel. very dirty and run-down hotel, lots of insects and security door was broken which led to non-guests (unpleasant druggies etc) entering and sitting all night outside the rooms. ac was not working. reception was very uncooperative.

We were in room 105, 2/17-2/18. The room had a faint smell of urine. Smelled as if someone urinated on wood floor. There was no heat. Their was blanket or bedspread on the bed. Just two flat sheets on top of a fitted. The wall across the bottom had exposed concrete/ brick exposed. No wash cloths. Only one microfiber cloth, two handles, and two bath towels. No bar soap. The bath tub had a somewhat glistening speckled terracotta rust color stain middle center, as If someone regurgitated. The sheets and towels covered in hair. We will not return to Mardi Gras Inn. The room, we were given was unacceptable. I supposed, they did not ever want us to return. I don't believe all the rooms looked like room 105. Seem like we were given the worst room. We asked for a blanket on 2/18 in the evening. The gracious lady brought us a blanket, once they came out of the dryer. Toilet seat cover missing.

Awesome place with a super friendly staff, in a perfect location! We can’t wait to visit again!

Do not expect a five star stay at that historical place - expect a decent hotel, with one or other "discrepancies". The staff was at the check in and on the check out - verry verry friendly, already given some informations, about places to go and what is not worth to go. The room cleaness - was okay - the Hotel itself, they know, that they cannot - and i think they don´t want to match with big groups. A big advantage is a free parking space at the road, the Hotel itself, was quiet during night! Close to the Hotel - there is a starbucks coffee for breakfast . All in All - if you want to stay - as it was in former times - stay there.

The staff were all kind and friendly, and they were able to help me with getting my a/c to blow very cold, and stay that way. I loved the location, as far as having several bus stops and a trolly stop in close walking distance. However, I think it's time for a total upgrade. I haven't used an actual key to open a hotel door in years. My TV didn't work for 1 day and a half into my stay, due to internet connection issues. I hurt my toes several times on that rod iron bed, and the ripped shower curtain and shower head left me wanting to take a bird bath.

Nice staff I stay here a lot. Hotel needs an upgrade because it is really a convenient location to A grocery store and the Quarter.

The hotel is really old as the name says historic but I wasn’t expecting it to be in so bad condition, was given a room first that was pretty big but the ac unit located on top of the mirror sink was leaking and the wall was stained, they left a dirty towel on top of the sink to hold the water, i was so tired after driving 91/2 hrs that didn’t said anything but when we got ready to go out pass by the front desk and told the guy the situation and he helped when we came back that night, he went to the room and said oh no this room has a leak why the put you here and offered to change us. I said yes, well I feel I should’ve said no cause the second room was way smaller than the first one and super old and run down smelling like it wasn’t used in a long time it was really bad but I said we’re not here that long and just suck it up. The front desk people were super nice the check in lady was very sweet and friendly and the night shift guy was really nice and tried to help changing the room which I appreciate. They say there’s parking in the description but the parking is just street parking not an actual parking lot or garage luckily there was a space available most of the time. The place is cute but needs a lot of maintenance and the area don’t help much either

Excellent staff, they do what they can with the property. Our room had three A/C units but none of them were working. Dusty and squeaky ceiling fans. One bed had a broken leg.

The only thing pleasing about the property was the staff at the front desk. Other than that this place was scary.
