It’s very clean, stylish, the location is convenient, it’s nice to have a parking space, the staff is friendly, the breakfast is substantial. I would like to return.
This beautiful property was in the perfect location to explore the city on foot. There was easy access to public transit close by and was just far enough from the quarter that it wasn’t loud. I can’t say enough good things about the staff - they were hospitable, kind, and gave us great advice about site-seeing, the city’s history, a getting around the city. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know! Thank you for having us and taking care of us!
My first morning began with a rather unexpected wake-up call: a staff member's loud, one-sided conversation about the questionable cleanliness of the breakfast supplier. While the staff and rooms were otherwise fine, I opted for a safer breakfast option.
Problems started on day one. Flight was arriving early on a Saturday morning, Called property spoke with a Jason who refused to help me add a day to the stay or allow me to check in early. Ended up paying another $500 for the Friday check in on Expedia which was basically so we didn’t have be out in the streets until 1-4 pm before check in on Saturday. Upon arrival it was clear they had rooms available .Arrived, room didn’t have lights in the bathroom, complained to a very nice female manager that moved us to another very nice room. Stay seemed ok, until night, could not sleep due to all the noise on street , then woke up to no hot water, the wife was extremely upset she couldn’t bathe, there was no one on property when we called to ask for help. Over all straight and simple the property is not suitable for a stay despite how nice the old history and visuals are. As some one who travels a lot I would advise travelers to avoid this property as owners clearly are not taking care of the property.
Earlier this year around February we first experience Melrose Mansion. Our experience has some problems mainly the receptionist who forgot to check us in and left for the day and the rest of the stay he was rude to us.I forgot if his name is Brian or Caleb.it was a bit of a nightmare not having hot water in Donecio room.I gave this hotel another chance and found out Roomza is managing this property. The pre-arrival registration was so easy and efficient. The guest portal to accommodate my needs during stay was the cherry on top! Dyson products available upon request?! I was in cloud 9! I was able to request the Dyson airwrap! That was one of the best luxury options you can get from the portal. LeShawn (I hope o didn’t butcher his name) who welcomed us upon arrival made us feel the southern hospitality.He gave us a quick history of the mansion (which we didn’t get the first time we stayed here). The place is remarkably cleaner this time and the wide array of breakfast selection is so much better than before. The water pressure has definitely gone up a notch since we last stayed here. A lot of improvements since Feb 2024. Also,I wanna add how nice the cleaners were. I also wanna add the Italian toothpaste,warm robes,silk bonnet,mouthwash and the viennese coffee was perfect! Unlimited snacks and drinks too! I can’t wait to come back to New Orleans! I’m claiming this hotel my home in NoLa. What a wonderful stay!
Amazing historic hotel. Lovely staff. Room was lovely and bed comfortable very spacious. Didn't use the pool but would on return in hotter weather. Will definitely book there again!
This great property could use more attention. Weeds along Burgundy side & the front needs some TLC. Staff woke us up setting up breakfast. Someone was upset with their man & ranting incredibly loud. I turned on the TV & couldn't hear it over the noise. I texted the desk, the noise stopped but no acknowledgement or I'm sorry. We were locals needing a place to stay during the process of selling our house. People
In NO are so friendly but not tour staff. Not the best representation of the good folks of this great city.
An absolutely beautiful old mansion! We were greeted with a nice bottle of wine in our room. Water and soda available either in our room or the main kitchen. However, our TV remote didn’t work and it took them 24 hours to replace it. The area rug in our room was gross. Easy to replace I would think along with the rug in the main hallway, you had to lift your suitcase over the edge of it. A very convenient location and just a short walk to bourbon st. I would stay there again.
Fantastic property with a lot of history. Really enjoyed our stay and felt like the staff cared about our experience.
The only negative feedback I have is we stayed in the room in the pool area and at one point the lobby door was locked and the pool room was locked so from what I could tell we were effectively locked into our room and pool area. Thankfully someone was in the pool room/breakfast area and unlocked it for us. Had nobody been in there I would have been late for photos for my brother's wedding. But I think it was genuinely an accident.
Also there were no bottles of water provided. In a city that has water boil advisories I don't care to drink tap water. Even if I had to pay for them I'd be happy but they had literally none on the property. I had to walk to a convenience store about 8min away at midnight to get some water. Our fridge had sodas and sparkling water but I would much rather have normal still water even if it was Kirkland brand.
That said, I will stay here again. The "negative" feedback is mostly my hopes that the management will see it and make adjustments. My brother who visits NOLA very often and always stays in an Airbnb came to our hotel room while his bride was getting married and was shocked by how nice it was and how little we paid and said he'll be staying at Melrose next time.
Stay here, but unless things change grab some waters first!
The room I was in was very nice and big. The problem was that it was in a separate building behind the main mansion building. And I was on the street level.
There was a door 5-feet from my bed that I thought was a closet door but was actually a door to the street. And New Orleans is noisy and has foot traffic all night. When I realized the situation, I was a bit shook up. I did not fall asleep until all the street activity and talking stopped around 3 am. I did not feel completely safe and was not the room I would stay in again. But the people in the main house were nice and friendly.
The property is charming and beautiful. Since it is a former home from 1800s I think, it doesn’t have elevators, and the stairs are steep. If stairs are difficult for you, request a ground floor room. We liked everything about this hotel. I would definitely stay there again.
