    The location was perfect for exploring local attractions.

    The bathroom was in desperate need of a deep clean, with visible stains.

    Great spot for a momentary pause

    Comfortable room, convenient location, with free parking and great staff that made our stay enjoyable during our 3 nights visiting, just a short distance from Union station and within walking distance to the French Quarter.

    bathroom cleanliness

    I loved my stay here! The bed was super comfy, and I really enjoyed lounging by the sun terrace and taking a dip in the pool. Just a heads up, the bathroom could use a bit more attention, but overall, it was a great experience! 😊

    Surprisingly Enjoyable Stay Despite Reservations

    I booked this place with low expectations due to many negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the French Quarter, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The room, while basic and a bit dated, was clean and served my needs well. My only complaint would be that a few repairs are needed around the hotel to improve the overall experience.

    cold ac
    good water pressure
    unsafe area
    poor cleanliness
    uncomfortable mattress

    The room had cold AC and good water pressure with hot water in the shower. There was a second-floor balcony to smoke, providing a nice outdoor space. However, the area felt unsafe with a lot of shady people around, the overall cleanliness was lacking, and the mattress quality was poor, leading to an uncomfortable night. Access was restricted after hours, which offered some peace of mind, but issues with security deposits raised concerns.

    Staying here was a solid choice. The shower was always hot with great pressure, and I appreciated the cold fridge in my room. Plus, the added touch of a second-floor balcony for relaxing was nice!

    The Empress Hotel offered a solid experience with its clean and cozy room just a couple of blocks from the French Quarter. Free parking was a big plus! The décor could use an update, but the friendly staff and safety measures made it a worthwhile choice for my stay.

    difficult stay but some redeeming moments

    The bed had decent comfort potential that could have been realized in a cleaner setting.

    The first room was very disappointing.
