The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

The breakfast at the restaurant on the first floor was very delicious. The bed was extremely comfortable and the location was very quiet.

The hotel staff were cordial and pleasant, and always helpful when I had a question. The housekeepers were always quick to move their carts so I could pass in the hallway without my asking. One man - Housekeeping? Maintenance? - always had a broad grin for me and gave me many Mardi Gras beads that had been abandoned in rooms. They all made me feel welcome. I appreciated the unique character and personality of the building and I enjoyed the art gallery. I was able to easily walk to good restaurants in the immediate area and to the French Quarter.

The fun staff here are Awesome and very Helpful!:) I loved the interior design and the bed was very comfy! Nice spacious rooms, hangers to hang one's clothing and good sized Bathroom with plenty of fluffy towels!:) I loved the location too. Gorgeous hotel with fun local artwork! The creme brulee at "Compere Lapin" restaurant was delicious! Love the little espresso/pastry bar too!

The hotel has a super cool vibe and we loved all the art and the brick. Make sure you check that you're getting a room with actual windows to the outdoors if that's important to you (I had to cancel and rebook one with actual windows as we would have been claustrophobic). The front desk staff were all fantastic to deal with and even helped us figure out a super impromptu trip to a broadway musical (Mrs. Doubtfire which was amazing!). The beds were comfortable and the room was clean for the most part. I feel like the rooms were a decent value for what you get. You're in walking distance of quite a bit if you want to stroll. I appreciated that the entrance to the building and the elevators all required your key card given that the area didn't feel the safest.

Oh my gosh, the smells! Before we even stepped foot inside the pregnant wife said something smelt amazing. It was here. The elevators smelt amazing, like rich mahogany. I can’t say I’ve ever noticed that before but we did every time! Our 7yr old even commented on the smell of the elevators. Location was good, close enough to everything to walk. There’s a bar/restaurant attached which was cool. Ice maker/water not far from the room. View out the windows was towards Harrahs which was also fun.
