Lamothe House

Location, location, location! We've stayed at this place several times over the years, specifically in the annex rooms across the street from the main hotel (401, etc). Last time I stayed here I was determined not to stay again because those rooms were just trashed. There were loose marble tiles in the bathroom that almost cut my toe, the wooden floor was in dire need of refinishing, and the family members who stayed in other rooms had non-working sinks and toilets, etc. Not to mention the house next door was being remodeled and there was a portapotty practically right in front of our room. When we traveled to NOLA this time, it was only for 2 nights and every other place we looked into required a 3-night stay. So we stayed here anyway, figuring the location was great enough that we could deal with some issues with the rooms. Imagine our surprise when we got there and saw that every room had been beautifully renovated! Not only that, the house next door is finished and there is no more fencing or portapottys to make everything look extra trashy. So this time I can say without any hesitation that this is the absolute best place to stay near the Quarter. It's 1/2 block fro the R Bar, blocks from good food, about a ten-min walk to Lorraine's for beignets, 5 min from JamNola, 2 blocks from Frenchmen St and maybe 3 blocks from the river, French Market, etc. You can hear the brass bands from the front porch when they play out on the street in front of Willie's Chicken Shack! :) Free parking, a pool, hot tub, and ice across the street, a lovely front porch from which to people watch....There is simply no reason to stay anyplace else. I'd love a refrigerator in the rooms, but other than that, this was a perfect stay!

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!
