Melrose Mansion Suites

Loved it! It was a beautiful place with lots of history. It was in the perfect location with several dining spots in the area. Walking distance to the French Quarter but far enough away to be quiet at night. Staff was friendly and helpful. It would have been nice if the pool was heated and more of a breakfast selection. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a great location- very walkable to major sights and the staff were friendly and super helpful. However, sadly that’s where the positives end. The condition of the hotel is far worse than the photos show. Our room was really tired and the shower was very mouldy with the shower head broken and hanging from the ceiling. Crusty is the only way I can describe it. There was no hair dryer in the bathroom and switches/outlets were loose and damaged, furniture around the pool area is rusty and the whole place felt a bit unloved which is sad as it has good bones. The photos of the hotel online are not what it is like in reality sadly. The breakfast is virtually non-existent with only a few self serve yogurts and muffins, no toast, bread, warm food, cereals or service of any kind and the advertised welcome drinks / hors doeuvres didn’t exist at all. We still had a good stay as we were out constantly but if I had planned to do more than sleep here I would’ve been really really disappointed.

Location was great not too close to the Quarter but close enough for an 8 minute walk to Bourbon Street, if that. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The chairs in the living room were not comfortable.

We had high hopes. The check-in was smooth and we were even able to get our room early in the day with no hassle. We were walked over to the building with our room and first disappointing surprise. Most of the building is under construction. We are promised it wouldn’t happen over the weekend but it still makes it a very dusty and messy environment. Next strike was the elevator, a tiny a scarily slow ride to the third floor. Then one more flight carrying our bags to what was a large bright airy top floor room. Yes it had a kitchen with high end appliances. Unfortunately the fridge didn’t get cold and freezer door wouldn’t close so it didn’t stay very cold either. But the room was large, comfortable, and clean. We came late that night to alarms going off in our building. We walked to the main building to find a security guard who seemed in no rush to find out why a fire alarm was going off. She had her phone blaring music and was sick and had literally no voice. Not sure how useful she would be if a real emergency came up given the lack of voice. She walked over to our building to turn off the alarm and showed us how she did it. Did she think that if it went off again I would be assuming the responsibility of disabling the alarm? We then proceeded to our room (skipping the scary elevator)and were taken aback by the smell of paint in the hallways. We made it through the night with no alarms but again the next evening, this time around 9pm,another alarm.We survived the weekend!

My reservation online didn’t go through and the clerk didn’t tell me. I got charged for a more expensive room which I didn’t find out about until the next day. It’s too bad because this place is super cute!

Love the style of the home. Felt like was i was staying at home. Very comfortable, and staff was very friendly.

While the hotel hasn't changed much from the early 2000s, the Melrose has lost its charm because it's not special/unique anymore (missing: a warm, welcoming lobby, wine/cheese evenings, better breakfast items) and the overall quality (attention to details) has diminished.

Old World Charm! Walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. The rooms were quaint and clean (we had 2 rooms), the beds very comfortable and they provided maid service daily (which is hard to find anymore). Each room is slightly different, the difference I saw was in the bathroom size. If you're a plus size person, recommend not staying in the Burgundy room. Brian and his staff were AWESOME! Very helpful and accommodating. The continental breakfast was sp****, but we ate at the Ruby Slipper a couple of blocks down Burgundy St., which I highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again just because of the staff, but access to the French Quarter, without being directly in it, was unbeatable imo. Lastly parking in NO is crazy, recommend parking there (albeit $45 a day w/ limited spaces) and Uber when you get tired of walking. Respectfully, Ron
