The California Building consistently receives excellent reviews, praised for its convenient location near Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, friendly staff, and cleanliness. While some minor issues related to amenities and the unexpected cleaning fee have been noted, the overall experience is highly recommended for visitors to New Orleans.

I loved this place. Went for a concert at the superdome and it was only a 7 minute walk. Also a short walk to bourbon st. The staff were nice and responded fast. They also held my luggage till it was check in time which was great. I would definitely stay her again.

I was amazed at how beautiful my room was, literally in awe. Front desk service was very friendly and was always eager to help. They have security 24/7 and a passcode needed to enter the building. The location was perfect!! A 10-min walk, if that, to bourbon and local food/convenient stores. I'm booking this hotel from now on every time I visit!!

We had a great stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location in downtown New Orleans was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do, making it easy to explore the city. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire check-in process smooth. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting New Orleans!

The room was exactly as described, and the check-in process was smooth and easy. The room was clean, and everything we needed was provided. The property staff reached out several times during our stay to ensure we were satisfied with our accommodations and to see if we needed anything. The location was fabulous and just a short walk from all the action on Canal Street and Bourbon Street. I would definitely recommend this place and will gladly book here again when visiting New Orleans.

Recently stayed here during Essence Festival and had a wonderful experience The room was spacious and clean, check in was smooth, the ladies and gentlemen at the front desk were accommodating and answered any and all questions. Only drawback was the rooms need a full length mirrors ( fit checks lol ) and the water pressure is a little low. Those are only mi or criticisms though and will definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the hotel was very pleasant. This place made me feel at home. The property was nice, clean, and well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. This place made me feel at home. We especially appreciated the assistance we received one night after returning from a long drive when our room door would not open. The front desk staff responded quickly, brought replacement keys, and stayed with us until maintenance arrived. The maintenance team was also very friendly and promptly replaced the door lock, which we greatly appreciated. We also liked the added security of the main entrance being locked. Our room was consistently clean and comfortable during our stay. A couple of small improvements that could enhance the experience would be adding a clock in the bedroom and a full-length mirror. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay again.

The room was very spacious and was laid out well. The bathrooms were updated and were very nice. The furniture had some wear and the carpets had a few stains. There were only queen beds but that didn't bother us. Note that we booked through interval and there was an undisclosed $85 cleaning fee. The front desk staff were not much help. Upon arriving the door was locked and you have to buzz them on the intercom. Not a big deal but we didn't use their garage because the garage next door was much cheaper. Overall this is less of a hotel and more of an condo rental. Expect very little on amenities and service.

Our stay at the California building was exceptional. The staff was attentive and timely, the rooms were immaculate, and every detail was handled beautifully. The location was perfect — close enough to walk everywhere in the French Quarter but far enough away to enjoy peaceful nights without noise or disruption. We got great sleep while still soaking in all the beauty of New Orleans. Highly recommend.

Not worth the money. The room was decent, but it didn’t meet expectations at all. When we arrived, the couch cushions and pull-out mattress were stained, and even the bed sheets and pillows for the pull-out had noticeable yellow spots. The staff was quick to bring replacements, but unfortunately, we found a bug in the new sheets they provided. The most concerning part was the molded paper towel found on one of the ice cubes in the freezer. The room also didn’t match the photos provide, and the view was underwhelming. Most nights, we came back to a strong smell of weed in the apartment—even though none of us smoke. The “zen garden” was also misleading—just a few flowers and a statue, not a garden at all. The community patio felt bare and disappointing. Also, parking was advertised as included, but it actually requires a daily fee in a nearby (not connected) garage. While the staff was kind, helpful, and responsive, the overall experience was below average. We regret not booking a hotel instead, especially considering the price. We left feeling disappointed and that we could have stayed somewhere much nicer for the same cost.
