Pool ‍ area they give free towels
Lauren D.

Was a boutique hotel not much to look at on the outside but inside was lovely decor and great vibe! It was also nice that there wasn't a ton of people and really nice staff!! You're only a few blocks from bourbon street and aren't expensive! They have a nice pool ‍ but the walled waterfall had a hard time pouring lol out of 3 only 1 worked! And if you LOVED the movie "MY COUSIN VINNY" with the scene of 3am of the train honking its way through............. Well u can make that a reality lol, not like I'm trying to sleep! They also have a steamboat as well which blasts their music at different times during the day! Sooo if you're planning to nap good luck !! Their bar doesnt open till 4pm which was annoying especially when that's the only place to get some food instead of leaving the hotel. That could be worked on but over all my husband and I had a nice but bc of the railroad is the dealbreaker for me and will be choosing a place away from the train and steamboats lol!!

The hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter, within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions. The hotel has a swanky, modern ambiance. The lobby and rooms are stylish and comfortable. Our room was spacious and well-appointed. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large and had a walk-in shower. The pool is small but never crowded. It's a great place to relax and cool off after a day of exploring the city. Overall: We had a great stay at One11 Hotel. The location, ambiance, room, pool, and service were all excellent. We would definitely stay here again. The only minor issue we had was that the air conditioning in our room didn't get cold enough. The management was very responsive to our complaint and they are working to fix the issue.

Spacious and clean bathroom with a HUGE walk-in shower

As a couple, we've been visiting NOLA every year for five years straight, trying out different hotels every time. This year in 2021, after two long years of quarantining and covid, we wanted to try One11. What drew us to One11 Hotel was its new construction, proximity, great rooftop access, and modern interior design. After a three-night stay, our initial thoughts however were turned upside down. One11 still has a way to go to compete with the other hotels in the quarter. PROS: - The cleanest hotel in NOLA. Not sure if it's because it's a new hotel, or that we came during covid times, but everything was COMPLETELY SPOTLESS. - Ideal proximity to everything you need in NOLA. The riverfront and canal streetcars are only a block away. You can take the less populated riverfront trail to go to the square, the market, and even Cafe DuMonde. - Amazing rooftop views. Especially during covid times, we enjoyed taking our food to go and bringing it up to the rooftop to eat. Unfortunately, there is limited seating up there (just 2 tables, and two sofas) - Spaciousness and completely modern king rooms, which is hard to come by in a city as old as NOLA CONS: - Although One11 used to be an old sugar factory, the steel beams, and solid structure DO NOT MUFFLE SOUNDS. Unless you're on the 8th floor, you hear all your neighborhoods above. EVERYTHING. Full-on conversations, music, and sounds (as if you are there next to them). It is worst at night. - The bedding/linen situation is quite odd. No fitted sheet. Just one top sheet tucked over the mattress, then two top sheets covering a bare duvet. Everything gets all over the place, and with no room service, it's a bit complicated to fix the bed in the morning. Note that the pillows are also very thin, flat, and uncomfortable. - There is a freight train that comes by and honks repeatedly all throughout the day and night, be prepared for more noise. Please note that this is not the hotel's fault, just something to keep in mind when booking. ADDITIONAL NOTES: - One11 provides a pair of earplugs in the top drawer under the Keurig, but they don't help much. - No room service during covid, but we like it this way. I know others may not. - The Mini fridge/cooler is hidden as one of the drawers (under the Keurig) It's super small, only fitting a few cans of soda. Not much. - Keycard elevator access, only. You must scan your room key to use the elevator. OVERVIEW: Would we consider staying at One11 again, probably not. The noise/echoing issue was a huge turn-off, and we come from the largest city in the US (we're used to bustling city noises and crazy apartment neighbors). There are better options in NOLA.

Front entrance

What's not to love? It's new - by new, I mean a remodeled old building. Still a very "new" feeling inside. It's beautiful. I can only speak for room 713 - a king room, but it's quite spacious. I love the decor. The front desk agent working when I checked in tonight was lovely. There's a pool on the first floor (I've not utilized it yet) and a rooftop deck that overlooks both the River & the City. Parking is $48 a night. It's self parking with in & out privileges, which is nice, but the price is a little much.

The "security guard," oblivious to everything except her cell phone.

If you don't read any further, take ear plugs. Good quality ear plugs. Things you'll hear in your room: Freight train horns at 2:00 am, guests in the neighboring rooms talking and having sex (different neighbors, those having sex weren't talking), boat horns on the river, the blaring music from the nearby bar on Peters Street, the linen room door in the hallway loudly closing 100-150 times during the housecleaning staff's time on the floor. The bathroom also did not have an exhaust fan, and the sliding barn door did not close tightly, so expect to hear your significant other's "intestinal evacuations." It is not a quiet hotel. Other than the noise, there were a couple of other issues. In our room, although this may not be the case in all of them, two of the bathroom walls were frosted glass and faced the bedroom. This meant that any time the bathroom light was on, say at 3:00 am, the entire bedroom was brightly illuminated. Not really ideal if your spouse is a light sleeper. The staff was generally friendly, but they did have a "security guard" who was completely useless. Every time we walked in at night and she was "on duty," she was sitting at the front desk with 100% of her attention on her cell phone and completely oblivious to anything going on around her. She was sitting in front of a monitor that showed all of the security cameras in the hotel, but she paid zero attention to it. I'm pretty sure Bigfoot could have walked by her and got on the elevator and she wouldn't have noticed. It was so bad I took the attached photo of her staring at her phone and she didn't notice. On the plus side, the hotel is clean and in a good location if you're visiting the French Quarter. But if we go back to New Orleans, we wouldn't stay at the One11 again.

Nice clean hotel robe

Oh One 11 where do I begin!!!!! Let me start with the good! It's a new hotel so everything was pretty new and modern. Joel was great at check in. My room was clean and everything worked. Loved the robe. Loved that the shower head was NOT a rainfall shower (someone thought about the Sistas!) and it didnt take long for the water to get hot AND stay hot. I liked the FREE bottles of water in the room and Smart TV. I appreciated the sliding door separating the toliet area as well as the room and bath area. I enjoyed the terrace, the pool, and the HH beverage. What I DIDN'T like is being billed TWICE!! One being the hotel charge and then ANOTHER pending charge that put my account in the negative for a good 3 days!!! Highly suggest putting your room charge on a CC. Also didn't appreciate the manager asking me, "When I'm going to be done?" and "How long is it going to take?" When filming my hotel tour for my YT in the lobby. You would of thought I was shooting a motion picture the way he practically scolded me saying "filming" wasn't allowed!! If it was done with an iPhone guaranteed he wouldn't have said anything. I also called down to the front desk to request a toothbrush an after waiting 15minutes called AGAIN. Waited about another 5 and it was brought up by none other than the "film critic"!!! THEN, on my last day I came in from being out on the town, sat down to eat my po boy sandwich in what I thought was the lobby but was apparently the "restaurant" and because it was the "restaurant" I couldn't eat my food! was done so I'm thinking , "Whatever lady!" I guess if I ate outside at the pool or maybe two seats over in the "lobby" I wouldn't of got scolded by the bartender. FYI, your Uber/Lyft driver will probably want to drop you off at the Westin since One 11 signage is pretty small. I was going to stay at the W French Quarter and while I don't regret staying here, I just would still look around before booking here again. Maybe try the Westin....

Hotel Monteleone - King size bed

French Quarter

What a wonderful hotel! I found out that it has been family owned since it was founded in 1886…read more Five generations now. Our room was beautiful: a king size bed, a writing desk, several drawers for clothing, a small refrigerator & much more. The bathroom was clean & large. Several well known authors have been in the Monteleone Tennessee Williams & Truman Capote, Ernest Hemingway & Eudora Welty to name a few. A gym is on the top floor along with a bar & rooftop swimming pool. It's considered one of the most haunted hotels in New Orleans. The Mrs swears we had a ghostly encounter. They have motion activated lighting under the beds. So when you get up in the middle of the night, you don't stub a toe or run into a wall. We were asleep in the bed when the lights came on & woke us up. Neither of us had gotten up. Everything was still. The lights on her side of the bed lit up & then my side came on. I just went back to sleep. Everyone we met there was friendly & great representatives of the hotel. Just a few steps from Bourbon Street, we found the hotel & its staff were fantastic & really enjoyed our stay.

Later, I discovered that 100% of the hotel received these wake-up calls. That's pretty terrible, especially waking up that early after a night in New Orleans. That's 90% of my complaints about the hotel, but I do have others. The carousel was not working in the Carousel Bar. The hotel room bathroom was very, very small. You could hear a lot of street noise even from the 11th floor. Would I stay at the Hotel Monteleone again? I've stayed there a few times in the past, but I would think three times before staying there again.

Paint in the room was chipping, mattress was stained, but overall these were things we could ignore. However, something we couldn't ignore while using the bathroom in the middle of our first night, was that we found we weren't alone. There were 3+ cockroaches hanging out near the tub and a few scurried away before we could kill/photograph them. The next morning we went to the front desk, got our refund and switched hotels. Front desk staff was AWESOME, so kind and quick to help us. However, after we asked to cancel our stay and went back up to the room to get our bags and leave, one of the hotel housekeepers decided to come up to our room and "confront us". She wanted us to show her the cockroaches (that we had killed and flushed) and tried telling us she's never seen a cockroach at Hotel Le Marais before, basically calling us liars. Lol, well, here's some pictures to prove it. Let's ask the audience. Positives: The front desk staff was exceptional. Very helpful, very kind and knowledgeable. It's located close to Bourbon and has a nice courtyard. Negatives: ROACHES IN THE ROOMS, confrontational housekeeper, thin walls.

It's in a great location in the heart of the French Quarter. The lobby is quite ornate with lots of seating, a water station with plain ice water and cucumber ice water, and a coffee station just off the lobby. There's a nice pool and the bartender came by regularly to take drink orders. We got two rooms for a one week stay. We had a Deluxe King overlooking the street and other family members stayed in a Grande Two Queens room overlooking the pool. Noise from the street and hallway both can be quite loud, so ear plugs are a must, especially if you're on the 2nd floor as we were. The first floor bar can get very loud and we were right over it. Our king bed was too soft and sagged on sides where people have slept most. Pillows are way too big so I used a rolled up towel as a neck pillow instead. The TV is big but not a smart TV so we couldn't sign into streaming services. WiFi is free and strong. There is no comfortable chair in either room. Small loveseat at the foot of our bed is uncomfortable and too close to the tv to use. Other room had a better sofa an appropriate distance from the tv. We have a small end table but no large table or desk. Coffee maker and fridge in the rooms but no microwave. Everything feels very clean. Our closet door was stuck and wouldn't slide closed, making it difficult to access the safe on the other side. Same in second room. What are the odds? Bathroom makeup mirror light doesn't turn on. Same in the second room. Guess the odds are good. In our bathroom the very loud exhaust fan turns on randomly all day and night. Second room exhaust fan doesn't work - switch was broken off, so they didn't have that annoyance. Not many outlets in the room, not enough conveniently placed, and some were old and loose, so an apple charger was too heavy to stay plugged in. Lots of lovely design elements from old architecture throughout the hotel that you don't see in newer buildings, like the large half circle window in our room. Our window shutters don't close completely so the room is bright all night long from street lights A great shower with a double shower head and water comes out both at the same time. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower. Towels are soft. We tried to eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant, but the sign says to wait to be seated so we stood there with lots of empty tables visible and servers visible, but they ignored us and the other people waiting. Eventually we all left and got breakfast elsewhere. This place is clean, historic, and in the perfect location. It's too bad they're not maintaining the rooms better for guest comfort. With the right management, they could easily turn this into a five star hotel. Such a pity.

We were helped quickly upon check-in and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. Every time we contacted or interacted with any staff, they greeted us quickly and always acknowledged our presence. Didn't see a single staff member on their phone. They were always willing to help. Room was nice and spacious for this price point. We stayed on Monday through Wednesday during the week and late October. I was honestly surprised at a base rate of $140 per night. Almost unheard of these days unless you are in a rural area. I was given an upgrade to a larger room based on status, but unfortunately it just overlooked the parking garage. I was told that they do not do complementary upgrades to balcony/bourbon street rooms, but unfortunately this property does not give you the option to use suite night award upgrades. Mariott platinum status members and higher can get free continental breakfast in the restaurant. It's not a buffet, it's a sitdown restaurant. But it was a good amount of food and gratuity is included, which is nice. There are food options available for purchase as well as alcoholic beverages. The bar/restaurant for the evening is nothing to write home about, just has some simple bar food. But it's nice to have that available. However, I recommend just walking right outside the hotel to all of the wonderful food in the French Quarter. We had a room at the end of the hall that faced interiorly over the parking garage, but we did still hear some noise from the street. Be prepared if you are a light sleeper, this will likely be a very loud hotel. However, we weren't too bothered by it. They do give you complementary earplugs. Most of the noise came from the person above us who was clunking And walking extremely loudly almost constantly. It sounded like they were constantly dropping things. So not sure what that was about. But our first two nights we didn't get much sleep because of that. Also, the water pressure was terrible in our shower and the water did not get very hot. Overall, a good stay.

My room, 221, was clean and spacious for my stay with a beautiful view of the courtyard and pool. The pool got busy during the day, but the noise level was moderate and it closed at 10 PM which prevented any late-night pool noise. The bed was very comfortable, the shades kept the room darkened for sleep and I heard absolutely no noise from Bourbon Street. The housekeeping staff were always friendly and the front desk and concierge the same. Always ready to help, offer suggestions or just smile and greet you as you came and went. The little market inside was stocked with water, sodas, snacks and beer if I wanted a little snack or late-night treat. When leaving, I had to stow my luggage for the day, and they were happy to do that for me at check out. Great experience here. Definitely will keep this hotel in mind for when I visit NOLA again.

The Davenport Lounge features excellent, easy, accomplished jazz courtesy of Jeremy Davenport and his quartet most (but not all) evenings. The food in the restaurant is excellent (as is the service), and staff throughout the venue and spa are top notch - friendly, courteous, uniformly professional. One of the great things is location - it is a very short walk to the crazy of the French Quarter, but a block away - so you have the safety, privacy, and isolation from the party when you need it, you aren't confronted by it as soon as you walk out the door of the hotel, but you are just a short walk around the corner to everything the Quarter and Bourbon Street have to offer. As an historic building, the architecture and aesthetic is much closer to "elegant old New Orleans" than, say, the Four Seasons (very very modern, almost cold presentation) or, for example, the Royal Sonesta which is smack dab in the middle of the crazy.

First, I had notated on our reservation that we were there for my husbands birthday, upon check in we received a quick "happy birthday" after my husband stated we were there for his day. Our room wasn't ready yet, no problem, we returned when it was and while getting the keys we overheard a small group next to us being told they'd get a special surprise for their birthday. The employee who told the group that was the same lady that initially checked us in, she saw we overheard and at that point offered my husband a gift from the little store. That was nice, and that was it for the remainder of our stay. Our executive suite was nice, smelled a bit wet/mildew upon first entering but it either went away or I got used to it. The rooms can definitely use some small updates like refreshing the grout; cleaning the couch; adding the shampoo/conditioner/wash to the shower rather than on the separate bathtubs ledge. After unpacking we went down to Davenport lounge and sat at the bar. Frankie was the bartender and the reason we didn't want to try anything else in the hotel. I ordered a cocktail with vsop, he poured VS in his shaker, when I got his attention and told him he said "it is vsop", I said no it is not.. and instead of double checking the bottle he just returned to one of the back shelves of the liquor bottles, instead of acknowledging or apologizing for the mix up, he just poured the vs down the sink and said "let me see if we have it". He walked to the back room and came back swiftly with the correct liquor and proceeded to make my drink. His behavior in this situation really caught me by surprise because I have never encountered such a negative experience at a Ritz location. I did text my experience to the staff and got a cookie cutter apology, not even making me feel like the situation would be brought to Frankie's attention. On our second evening there we were walking back in through the doors on canal street, there was one attendant on each side of the doors, the gentleman on the right was pleasant and said welcome back, while the female on the other side seemed bothered to be at work and was tapping her fingernails on the door handle as she held it open for us. That was rather unwelcoming and just unprofessional. Anyhow, the location is perfect if you're looking to be very close to all the action of the city and the building itself is very nice. We encountered the friendliest staff in valet, I wish I got the name of the First Gentleman we encountered as he deserves praise for his excellent service and can teach some of his fellow employees a thing or two. I have been in love with the Ritz Carlton for a while now from experiences at other locations but I can say that after this visit I will book my next Nola stay at the Four Seasons (where I felt welcomed and valued when stopping in for a round at their lounge).
