Property itself is a lovely experience laced with history. Staff is all wonderful and very helpful. Expect to walk at least a mile to Bourbon row if you choose to go for that. A lot of homeless all around, but Thankfully they did not harass us. The area is getting a face lift and a lot of new places to visit!

The hotel is historic. The rooms are very dated and the beds are too small. We are a fit couple and a double bed is too small for two people. The food was ok, but overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

We enjoyed staying at the Brown very much. The rooms are in good condition however just small updating would be very beneficial. There are more homeless people about the surrounding area so just be mindful, however no one seem to pose any problems.

Property is beautiful. You are transported back in time when you enter. Lobby bar is beautiful and staff were great. I just found that the location was a bit off the beaten track and we had to do a lot of walking to and from the hotel to see the sites.

Check in was great, we were able to get in early. The room had a very musty smell when the a/c fan was on high. Setting it to low helped. When we let them know they offered to move us to a different room. Hot Brown was great!!! A petite size was the perfect amount. We love historic properties, so we understand you can’t always have the best of both world's.

This was a FABULOUS treat.
This stop was somewhat random in that we had to reroute due to a dangerous storm. WHAT A TREAT. Service was great, the art and articles were a beautiful history lesson throughout the property. The room/amenities were gorgeous, elegant, and comfortable. If you don't order the Hot Brown, you have missed a tremendous opportunity to enhance your life!
