Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Not worth the price. The walls in the room look like the inside of a jail cell. The thermostat in the room stays at a set temperature that you cannot change. There’s not one vending machine on the property, ice machines only. Only good thing is checkout at noon. I’m guessing since the location is close to everything that is the reason the price is costly. An attraction to tourists I guess.

Still a great place to spend a weekend

I’ve wanted to stay at Le Richelieu for 30 years, when I lived in New Orleans. It’s not the jewel it once was, but for our stay it was perfect. The staff was friendly and efficient. Sadly, the beautiful bar is no longer open. The coffee was really bad. But a bucket list item was experienced and we had a grand time!

Great location and a pool

What a lovely hotel, the rooms were large and comfortable, the building is old and grand, just like the rest of the French Quarter! The pool is a great bonus! And the location is perfect.
