Loved staying at Rathbone Mansions. It was so charming and clean and bed was really comfortable. It had a nice big shower and had a heater in the bathroom too! It was also in walking distance to Port of Call, our favorite burger in New Orleans!

2 locations
it's not the easiest when you have a delayed flight, cant reach out after hours and hope to receive a text with the code to enter. so, that's what happened. i also didn't know that there were 2 locations so the code we eventually received, wasn't for the right location. aside from this, the stay was pleasant.

This place was great value for money being not too far from the main hub, we were able to walk to the French quarter. The house was very clean, the rooms sound proof and we had a nice rooftop deck. We would absolutely stay again for the value for money.

Would definitely stay here again. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great communication both before and during our stay. Well located to explore both the French Quarter & Frenchman Street areas which are both walkable within 10 mins. Felt very safe and plenty of on street free parking in addition to the hotels off street secure parking. Also had a great pool area, water was ideal temperature to cool off on a hot humid day

A Great Stay!
Exactly what we were looking for on our trip to New Orleans. Was very comfortable, yet still had the old house vibe. And the staff was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again when we return to New Orleans.
