The Lucky Inn

We planned on staying in New Orleans for 3 nights over a weekend in September. We were travelling with a car, so ideally wanted somewhere that offered parking and this is when I stumbled upon the Lucky Inn.||I’d seen other reviews about the locked gates (and not getting a code in advance) so I was prepared to arrive and need to call. I did, and the call was answered straight away & the gates opened to let us in. The hotel seemed very quiet when we stayed… we didn’t see any other guests until our last day when leaving, and at most there was only ever 3 cars (including ours) in the parking lot. We were told that parking was first come, first served, but we never had any issues due to the low volume at the hotel.||When we booked our stay, we knew that the Lucky Inn was about a 30-minute walk

We booked on booking.com and started off by arriving to a locked gate with no way of entering to get to a reception. The gate has no communication on it so if you're like us with UK sim cards that can't make phone calls then you have no way of getting in contact with the hotel. Luckily another guest entered and we were able to get to reception where we were told that we should have been sent an email with a code to open the gate, which we were never sent.||The staff were nice however sometimes hard to find as there is no actual reception just a bar or office room which they're sometimes not in.||The hotel itself is like they've spent money making it look nice but it's actually still not nice. The room had many plug sockets that didn't work, one of which was falling out of the wall. The win

Would not recommend this place, even if it was a cheaper option. Would not stay again. Stayed here during a long weekend vacation with my wife. Hotels anywhere else in or around French Quarter were more expensive, so this seemed like a good deal for only a short train to get to the activities. Staff was friendly and courteous throughout our stay, but that as well have been the only good part. Walls seem paper thin. We could easily hear people in the next room's conversations, and the doors to your room are either super thin or have huge gapes on the edges, because it literally sounded like someone was coming into our room whenever someone was simply in the hallway. Had some of the worst sleep I've ever had while traveling, simply because there was too much noise. Hotel and website also

Excellent stay! Will absolutely book this hotel on my next visit to New Orleans. The staff were friendly and guided us on the best spots to eat and have a good time. The rooms were clean and aesthetically pleasing. Special s/o to Yolanda who smoothly checked us in. There was also a young girl who's name I didn't get, she was super helpful on guiding us in the right places to eat and enjoy our visit! 10 out of 10, would highly recommend.

This gem is just a block away from the trolley with free parking, and is reasonably priced. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The lobby area is super funky with plenty of room to lounge and sip on free coffee. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but without a hair dryer or mini fridge. Not unlike other hotels in this area, the rooms are small and the walls a pretty thin, which in my opinion, is all part of New Orleans experience. Hands down, I would stay here again, if I ever get the chance.
