We had a wonderful two-night stay at Melrose Mansion! The property is absolutely beautiful, full of historic New Orleans charm and character. Our room was very large and the King bed was so comfortable. The HUGE WHIRLPOOL TUB was a delight after walking the quarter! The atmosphere was peaceful, the cement pool was such a soothing and a satisfying reprieve from the Louisiana heat! A wonderful breakfast provided in the morning!! The location was perfect for exploring the French Quarter and surrounding areas. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Melrose Mansion is truly a unique NOLA experience, and we would happily stay again! ??????????

I had a fantastic stay at this New Orleans hotel and would absolutely come back. The cleanliness really stood out from the moment I arrived—everything felt fresh, well-maintained, and thoughtfully cared for. The decor perfectly captured that classic New Orleans charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the property. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the experience feel personal without being overbearing. They were always available with great recommendations and made sure every detail of the stay was seamless. The location is another huge plus—conveniently situated near major attractions, restaurants, and nightlife, yet still peaceful enough to relax and unwind. It struck the perfect balance for exploring the city while having a comfortable place to recharge.

Melrose Mansion is a gem and was a highlight of our New Orleans trip. I was hoping to stay somewhere unique (non-chain) that incorporated the New Orleans vibe while still being comfortable and at least 4 stars. The mansion was right on the mark with nicely renovated rooms, clean/cute common areas, a small B&B feel and history. The pool was gorgeous and felt luxe and private. Our room was fantastic, clean, nice bathroom, comfortable mattress, all lovely. But the staff! The staff were welcoming, helpful, fun, and all-around made you feel like you were extra VIP. Special thanks to Emily who had a great personality and was over-the-top with her lists of restaurants and sites, even for my special dietary needs. I will only stay here moving forward. Loved it. ?

Where do I even begin?! Our room was amazing, the breakfast was great, but the best part of our stay was by far EMILY! She seriously made sure we had the best time, was so helpful and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back again, mostly just to visit her!! What a gem of a person you have working for you!! ??

Hands down the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed at. We came down for the first day of Jazz Fest and this property just made our trip spectacular. Everything was great I don’t even know where to begin, from the location, the property, the room, to check in/check out. There are so many pros, this is going to be our forever property whenever we come down to NOLA. Location: this was the cherry on top, when I say everything is walking distance I mean everything. Pack some good walking shoes, our car stayed parked in the parking lot the whole trip. We walked back from Jazz Fest(Ubers/traffic was a nightmare everywhere so we decided to walk back and made it safely) we walked down to Ruby Slipper Cafe for breakfast/brunch and grabbed some coffee and pastries down at Ayu Bakehouse( highly recommend both in your visit) Buffa’s across the street for some drinks and live music. -Room: BOOK THE FRENCHMAN SUITE!!! DO IT! HUGE, Clean, the best A/C I have had at any hotel, amazing bathroom/ shower, it was like our own little NOLA apartment, we felt right at home. -Staff was so friendly and kind from check in to check out. -Area was nice, quiet and safe! If you want to be near everything but appreciate your sleep, this is the PLACE!! Just book it, it is definitely worth every penny and more! Melrose Mansion has a customer for life.

Great small hotel just across the street from French Quarter. Lovely suites with full kitchen and service. Free breakfast (but do the coffee on the streets instead). Historical buildings. Wonderful and friendly staff

Great place to stay. Excellent customer service. Close to the activities in the French Quarter but far enough away you could sleep when you wanted. Quiet and shaded pool to relax at. Right across from a 24/7 bar and grill.

Ok we came in from San Antonio Texas. They charge for parking $45 a day and a 350 Emnity charge I believe it’s called. But it lovely old classic French design very beautiful. Cashier was wonderful explained everything to my husband. No problems a lot of repairs going on around on the streets. plenty of restaurants. Like every where. you can walk to and from. Including by bourbon street a couple of streets down mission about 5 blocks down. Go past the bourbon street towards the church and the jail that is now a marti gra museum more stuff down there. there is towels outside for the pool everything seems secure otherwise just dont walk by yourself supposedly on the reviews I read and also pick pockets too. One more thing stay away from those people that ask for money one grabbed my husband wanted to make a bet. Then he asked for money we like-do not carry cash. After he found out started to curse at us. The second one ask for money! My husband said how about some food so we bought him two slices of pizza he was happy looked like he wanted to cry. But was respectful. He gave me some beads I assume he got it from the ground or caught it. No tits involved they just ask for catching beads. But some throw the beads hard. Ass**** so I don’t even try to catch them. But all in all we had a good time looking around and just eating . Took a carriage ride they informed you about the buildings, surroundings, back ground on where everything came from-$30 dollars a person and don’t listen to all the peoples referrals where to go eat. Just use google reviews. Burger place around the corner just plain smoked burgers baked potatoes are very good. The monsoon drink wow! I only drank a quarter of it I was drunk but I had not eaten at all so watch out for that drink they sell. Breakfast at 730. If door is closed the girls are not ready yet, then they open it . Help yourself to their hot coffee very Hot! Receptionist and dining helpers are very nice. The parking is safe 45 dollars a day. They have cameras watching back there. I carried a small charger cause we practically stayed out all day slept in and nothing really starts till later. These walls are hollow you can hear everything. Outside people walking and talking! Yah that hollow. Bed are clean no mites.. I’m allergic so yes I am grateful the specially clean beds. Small rooms but we were not here just slept here it was a great experience here I will recommend this place. Be respectful when u come in drunk hahah some are really sleeping some are dead drunk too but you can hear everything. It wa great here!

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and Melrose was a great spot to experience true New Orleans. The location was perfect, the parking was a DREAM, the complementary snacks and drinks were very appreciated, and we checked in with Emily who was an absolute joy also! My husband and I love picking places that are more historic anytime we visit and we’ll definitely be back to this one.

My husband and I had the opportunity to stay at Roomza's property last week and we FELL IN LOVE. The staff that we met, Jason and Emily, were so hospitable and enjoyable to talk to. The property is lovely, and our room overlooking the pool gave us the best views. Would definitely stay here again!
