I had a lovely stay at the French Market Inn, enjoying the charming atmosphere and beautiful courtyard, which provided a peaceful escape in the bustling French Quarter. The staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating, enhancing my experience. However, I did experience some noise from other rooms, although it was manageable. Overall, it was a good blend of comfort and location.

My stay at the French Market Inn was a blend of charming atmosphere and a prime location in the French Quarter. I loved how close I was to attractions like Café Du Monde and Bourbon Street, making it easy to explore. However, I did find the noise from neighboring rooms a bit distracting at times, so light sleepers might want to be prepared for that.

I had a great time at French Market Inn, thanks to the awesome location in the heart of the French Quarter and the super friendly staff. My room was comfortable, especially the bed, which helped me recover from long days of exploring. However, there was some construction noise, which was a bit annoying, and I had some issues with my room's amenities that could have been better.

The Petite Queen Room was cozy and charming, but it felt a bit small, especially with the desk chair blocking the path. The bathroom was clean and had a nice modern design, but I did notice some issues with window drapes letting in more light than I'd prefer.

While I didn't dine at the hotel, the staff gave me great recommendations for nearby spots to grab beignets and coffee, which I really appreciated. The courtyard looked like a nice place to chill, but I didn’t get a chance to use it.

The hotel itself was very clean and had a lovely courtyard, but the construction work was a downside. The pool area was relaxing, but just keep in mind it’s more for lounging than swimming laps.
