We were able to check in early with no hassle, we also received an upgraded room with no extra charge. They were also able to accommodate a bottle of champagne with a card in our room for my friends birthday. Lovely property and walkable to bourbon.

The room was beautiful; very large with a nice dressing area. The bed was very comfortable but the sheets could have been softer. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want or need, they will provide for you. The bar area is absolutely gorgeous & the Gospel Cafe had delicious coffee & liquor options. Everyone was incredibly sweet & kind. I will return to the Fontenot as it’s close to literally everything.

I was upgraded to a suite/handicapped room, which was at the end of the hall next to housekeeping, so it was very busy. The shower has no glass doors and the shower curtain does not go all the way down to the floor so the bathroom floods above me was either housekeeping or a very noisy room because you could hear the door squeak 24 seven and things being dropped on the floor, the carpets were dirty food on furniture smoke detector hanging off the wall and went down at 6 AM. They have no coffee no pool you have to slam the door because they don’t latch properly which is a safety concern if you’re staying here.

It was my first time staying at the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot and I was very impressed from the moment I walked in. Marvin at the front desk was personable, full of information, and made me feel welcomed. I received a text after checking in from Emma at the front desk who also provided great service. Ross and Roland who work at the front door helping with valet parking made me feel like a special guest. I am lifetime member at Marriott with high status; however, my experience at this IHG property was far superior than the half-hearted "welcome" I have been receiving at Marriott properties who usually do not even upgrade me which used to be surprising. Next time I am back in New Orleans, I will stay at this property. If you go, be sure to read the display near the elevators that explains how the hotel got its name. I had a clean, spacious room. Very nice interior design throughout the property.
