Weekend Getaway

This hotel is in a great location and had gated in and out self parking($45/day). They don't have a liquor license, yet, so we didn't get to enjoy the bar and it was a bit chilly to use the pool. Our room was spacious, great shower, and the bed was comfy. We will definitely come back.

The hotel itself had a nice ambience but every night guests from a few doors down were shouting in a drunken rage. The last night there was loud stomping from the floor above from hours on end.

Beautiful entryway and wonderful staff. The rooms were nice but not as up to date as expected for a recent renovation. Having a fitness room would be a wonderful addition.

My room was very big, loved the balcony. Staff were very nice and helpful. We walked EVERYWHERE from the hotel. I felt very safe in the hotel. In the French Quarter you always need to be careful but I felt safe on that side of the Quarter. Lots of history and ghost tours around so there were groups of people close, made walking at night feel safer.

I really wanted to return to Le Rich and love it. We used to stay here whenMr Frank was the owner. The staff then made the place feel like home-it was. The new staff still made us feel the way-they rocked. But but-there was little or no hot water in our room for our 3 day stay. Thats a big deal when you are there in December!! Will I go back? Maybecause I cherish my memories there and love the staff. But I'll ask about the water and consider other options first. Consider this an opportunity missed by new management. Marisol Tammy Conner Ryan Juan -you folks rocked! Thank you
