the air conditioning was set at such a cold temperature that it was difficult to sleep. the thermostat did not work to raise the temperature and no extra blankets were available. the desk clerk said she could not do anything except call the maintenance number and they could reset the temp from a central location...didn't happen!!

Heat and cooling in room a mess, no creamer for coffee, hidden fees, room very loud and hard to sleep due to traffic. Streets blocked/closed all around and hard to walk. I've been to NOLA many times and this was worst accommodations.

Convenient location to both Bourbon St and Frenchman St (especially Frenchman St), without being loud at night. Very comfortable mattresses. Great place to stay in the French district. The phone-based lock system didn’t work in our room but they gave us a fob that worked fine, so no big deal. Good price for what you get.

We had a great experience at this hotel. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Its location was a good walking distance from just about anywhere in the Quarter. I was so impressed with housekeeping, they kept our towels stocked and fresh and our room cleaned daily. The AC worked well, a little too well at times lol! But not a complaint :) My only gripes would be that our neighbors were very loud (not the hotels fault, some people just can’t talk below a mild roar or realize yelling down the hallway isn’t appropriate at midnight). The rooms are a little plainly decorated and the bed was not awful, but not the most comfortable thing ever either. I also wish the bar would’ve been open during our stay. A bathtub would have been a nice addition as well. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Le Richelieu and I would definitely return to this hotel!
