Newly updated. Helpful staff and convenient for the French Qtr. Hallways are wide open spaces creating a lot of echo, so hallway noise and door slams can be annoying

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
