Hoteller i New Orleans i nærheden af Treme

Price, $--- and somewhat close to Main Street in French quarter, about 15 minute walk Room #2 is next to front desk close to front door. Front desk people and friends talked/laughed till 3 AM and people came and went causing more noise. Room was dark. Ceiling fan wonbly Bathroom old with tiles missing and nasty caulking.

LOCATION!!! it's right at EVERTHING and walgreeens is across the main street 3 seconds walking! really convenient. There are some many things that went wrong with this reservation, 255 characters will not cover it. My room was not ready when i arrived, the staff was ill prepared and rude. 'breakfast' was a joke. They didn't even have fruit. AND there was no AC working

It is a basic but fine hotel, the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and the location was good. What more could I want for this price?

We stayed at The Empress for Mardi Gras. The redeeming thing about it is its location. Walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. This place is undeniably cheap given this fact, so just be sure to plan a lot of activities that keep you out of it. This place should definitely advertise more as a hostel instead of a hotel. Rooms are literally a bed with a toilet nearby. The only small window is high off the ground in a random spot in the room. There is no central ventilation (common in old Nola houses though), so you may need to frequently adjust the window AC unit or the space heater you're provided. The tub flooded as we showered so we started each day knee-high in water. The mattress was plastic covered, which is understandable given where we were, but there were stains and cigarette burns on the linens. At the end of your stay, there will be a walk through to get your $10 deposit back and to make sure you did not steal any of the sandpapery towels. Oh, and don't expect any privacy as the walls are literally paper thin. And be warned that another practice here is that you'll need to leave the key at the front desk every time you leave. Not bad, just odd.

Walked to Amtrak station. Staff was friendly. Morning coffee was delicious. It was a bed, tv, shower-all I really needed. Please put some $$$ into it. Bathroom floor has fixed up piece that sank when you got in shower. Power outage in area, but that wasn't hotel's fault. They should def revise hotel into a hostel as fellow guest suggest. Should have been cheaper.

Did not like anything about this hotel. The room was filthy, with no hooks in bathroom for towels. Toilet roll on the floor because roll holder was broken, no soap dish, cracks in wall with grime & mold, tiny heater stopped working after 15 seconds, towels had stains on them & tv was over the bed with electric wires hanging all over. Worst of all I was charged USD198 for 2 nights non refundable via booking.com while walk in clients were charged USD74 per nite. We had to leave after 1 nite (& lose our 2nd nite payment) as conditions were worse than backpackers room in Vietnam & Indonesia. I guess I cannot book on trust anymore. Booking.com should remove this hotel from their list.

The other guests that I met on the patio.

I enjoyed the location and helpful staff. The room was quiet and generally clean. I disliked the plastic covered pillows and lumpy mattress which sagged in the middle.

The location was great, just a short walk to the French Quarter and the staff were very nice. The hotel definitely looked better in pictures than in real life. We knew it was a cheap hotel going in, but weren't prepared for how cheap it was going to be. Mattress and pillows had protective vinyl covers, for example.
