Lamothe House

Charming! We had a wonderful experience staying at this lovely guest house for Mardi Gras 2025. Perfectly located and beautifully maintained outside areas. I wanted to make a special thank you to the staff, especially Gabby who gave us the warmest welcome we could have hoped for! If she reads this? It’s Thomas with the diamonds and nice smell! Haha. This place is minutes walk from all the action if that’s what you need! Bear in mind that the property extends across the street at the back and we had the furthest room from reception. Not a problem for us but something to note. You have to exit the main property and cross a street to get to the final set of rooms but it’s not far. Overall this was a super charming stay and we loved the pool! Rooms were clean and tidy. Thanks Lamothe I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent place at French Quarter, close to everything! Growing up in Las Vegas, we understand hospitality and tourism. The housekeeping did great, and the front desk people were all exceptional!! They also gave suggestions for places to go and restaurants to go to, and different tours to do. And for those who would be interested....the hotel is also haunted. There is a woman and a couple kids that haunt the hotel, and apparently they had a small dog. We have a small dog that will jump up on our bed at night and sleep with us, and we left her at home. One night my wife went to bed and I went to some jazz clubs. While I was gone after she fell asleep, she felt something small jump up on the bed, move to the middle of the bed, and cuddle up next to her. She felt the blanket squish up next to her, as if something layed on top of the blanket and up against her. She grabbed her phone and turned on the flashlight, and nothing was there. The room also has a lot of character with old wood floors, and antique furniture. We were in room 301. The bed was really comfortable. All of the locals were even really nice and polite. We will definitely be back to New Orleans, and Lamothe House will be where we stay. They even had a heated pool and Jacuzzi. Location was right on the edge of French Quarter, and just a block away from Frenchman for the jazz clubs. We were there during Mardi Gras and it was just a few blocks from the action, which meant it was far enough away to not be noisy so we could sleep. Highly recommend!!

Carol is a superstar!!! I can’t say enough great things about our recent stay at the Lamothe House, our favorite hotel in New Orleans. Carol, in particular, made our experience truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly hospitable, kind, and approachable. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and even surprised us by upgrading us to a stunning suite. We couldn’t be happier with her generosity and attention to detail. Carol’s warmth and professionalism are a true reflection of the charm of this historic hotel. We will definitely be back!

Great location, updated room, friendly staff. I feel compelled to leave a recent and very positive review of Lamothe House Hotel, as there are several just seriously negative ones on here from 2024, that I am happy to report are completely dramatic and out of line. I’ve stayed in this hotel about 5 times over the past 20 years. The location between the French quarter and Marigny neighborhoods cannot be beat. You are literally one block from the best live music venues in the city. I usually stay in the carriage house, 215 or 216. They have been completely renovated to more modern stylings and 216, where I stayed recently, has extremely comfortable beds and great hot water and water pressure. We had daily housekeeping with tidying and fresh towels. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. While the off street secure parking is $40 and therefore on the expensive side, that’s the going rate for hotel parking. Monteleon is about 15 bucks higher. Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit for the courtyard pool and hot tub. We will be back and we know where we will stay. Love you Lamothe house and Nola!

BUYER BEWARE First - I want to start by saying that the staff are all lovely people. No complaints there. If you stay, tip the room ladies well because they are really cool. And there are two adorable street cats that stay around the final room we were in, which was nice if you like cats. My beef lays with management. I reserved the grand suite at 149$/night. The first night I could hear water dripping from the ceiling but I couldn't find it. The second night the water was pouring from the ceiling, and I realized it was the central AC vent. We went to the front desk, and were moved to a room in the Carriage House. After lugging suitcases up the stairs, we went into the room and there was a man laying in the bed sleeping because the room was booked. I scared the crap out of him and felt really awful about that. Even if he hadn't been there, the entire space was about 1/3rd the space of the grande suite and I'm not sure it had 2 beds, which is what we needed. Finally we got moved out of the main hotel space, out the back door and across the street to the last room down the path in the back. This room was most likely one for $129/night. Automatically there should have been a refund in the difference in cost for the downgrade, but there wasn't. The desk person that helped us said there would also be a partial refund that would be back on my card in the morning. Nope. Didn't happen. Then after the trip was over, and I contacted him back asking about it, he never responded. I tried to contact the hotel, no response. Finally I went through Expedia for help, and the hotel told them a few times that they'd have to call back, until finally they also sent an email to which there was no response. The final room was very obviously still under construction. The bedside drawers were full of sawdust, there was no safety lock on the door, the fire alarm was dismantled, the bottom drawer of the dresser was FULL of bizarre electronics, like 20 pairs of old headphones like you get on a listening tour, random wires and chargers, screws all tangled up. No exaggeration. It was WEIRD. I tossed those in the closet on the floor. There was a wall TV holder thing but no TV on it, the TV was older and on the dresser, which is fine but I'm mentioning it to further note that it was not ready for people. There was a floor lamp plugged in with no lightbulb. The cold water faucet in the bathroom didn't work at all. There was a door to a sitting area but the long door curtain was connected in a way that you couldn't open the door without taking the curtain off, and the outside sitting area was a mess anyway with a dead plant and acorns galore but nothing to push them aside. That last part wasn't a huge deal but it did add to the wtf of it all. We didn't say anything at the time because we were already told that was the only empty and available room. It was also let known to us that the place has all kinds of problems that aren't addressed. Added bonus - the pool was clean and then one night after a couple of people went in, it was murky and gross the next day which speaks to the filtration system. I 100% do not blame any staff members for this because it is clearly a management problem since they would have to be the ones to address these issues and do the refund. I overheard some people talking about how the manager is cheap and doesn't want to pay the employees for their work so he cuts hours but then doubles the work they have to do in a day, so they have the same workload but for less pay which is believable seeing as there is no response at all. I will never stay at another of these French Quarter Guesthouses ever again. I am not a bad reviewer person who complains about everything and is a problematic person. I give a lot of leeway with these things because I know the staff work hard. I'm the person that cleans my room before check out, folding all the dirty towels and emptying the trash bin so the workers can catch a break for a minute. So the fact that I am complaining in a multi paragraph review, means there was a legit problem. I finally ended up having to contact my bank about disputing the charge partially in order to get the price difference back in the rooms, and the partial refund on the two nights of water. Technically I should also get an additional refund on top of those for being put in a room that was under construction and not ready for guests, but I can let that slide. So if you stay here, be ready for BS.
