Customer Reviews
I would like to start this review off by saying that the front desk lady was fantastic. There was absolutely no customer service issues with my stay. The hotel however, leaves everything to be desired. We booked through a 3rd party website because it the reviews and the photos seemed like a really cool historic hotel. The rooms didn’t look special but they would work. Upon our arrival to the first room the AC unit was sitting on a pile of rocks, the bedding was COVERED in stains and hair, there was stains all over the mirrors, blood splatter on the wall in the bathroom. I was next moved to a room upstairs in which the floor on the deck was a safety hazard. If I was any heavier than 150 I would’ve fallen through the boards. The second room had no refrigerator, AC unit was spray painted over
I booked this via booking.com which were not care of providing imprecise information about the place, to say the least. First, the rooms were very old, dirty , the sheets were dirty, with stains, and torn, with burn marks at some places. The room included NO WINDOW. There was only one chair, no hangers, no coffee machine. No space to store clothes or luggage and generally the place was smaller than any simple motel I visited in US so far. The overall experience was very different from booking.com description while still charged the outraging 171$ for a night, and of course nonrefundable. So while I was thinking I am going to a nice place, I actually fell into a trap.|I asked to change my sheets during the stay. The people who worked there answered that my room is "not in their cleaning s
Do not expect a five star stay at that historical place - expect a decent hotel, with one or other "discrepancies". The staff was at the check in and on the check out - verry verry friendly, already given some informations, about places to go and what is not worth to go. The room cleaness - was okay - the Hotel itself, they know, that they cannot - and i think they don´t want to match with big groups. A big advantage is a free parking space at the road, the Hotel itself, was quiet during night! Close to the Hotel - there is a starbucks coffee for breakfast . All in All - if you want to stay - as it was in former times - stay there.
I booked the Mardi Gras Inn for Mardi Gras Weekend 2026. I booked for 4 nights but ended up leaving in 2 nights because this place is so gross they should not even be in business. I paid $1600; good money for a stay that should have been clean and comfortable instead I got a roach motel! The bathroom is disgusting….bathtub was dirty looking and rust on the inside. Shower liner was full of mildew, shower rod was rusty. The towels had stains on them! The floor was so slimey and greasy I was afraid to walk on it. The sheets were stained. The icing on the cake was I saw a roach crawl across the floor!!!! Why is this place taking people’s good hard earned money and their rooms look the way they do! NO DO NOT STAY HERE! Shame on Mardi Gras Inn the rooms should meet the quality of money you charg
I stayed here for 1 night. The location was very convenient and the staff were nice. I saw a couple of reviews that almost persuaded me to go elsewhere but I decided to give it a try. I like my room and It served its purpose. I liked the feel of the historic building.
