To stay at the Cornstalk was a real treat! The history and the age of the building just makes it more charming. It was nice to sit on the balcony and people watch. Parking is limited but the staff makes sure everyone fits. Hope to stay there again!

It's a great spot in the quarter but --
It's a great spot in the quarter but -- No thermostat in my room, which ran hot and cold all night. The door lock on the door is not really a lock. I could have easily have opened my door with a credit card. The woman at the front desk in the afternoon at check in was great. The woman in the morning scowled at me when I handed her my key and said "Thanks." Coffee in the morning in Styrofoam cups did transmit caffeine into my bloodstream, but that's about it.

Great Property in the Heart of the French Quarter
This property was an amazing little gem in the heart of the French Quarter. The building is unique and like stepping into the past. Steps from great restaurants, bars, and a quick mart, everything you need is within walking distance. The rooms are comfortable and we had a balcony overlooking the parade route! This was great until we realized we had to catch a plane at 5 AM and needed to sleep, and well, the rest of the neighborhood was not planning to sleep. The only warning I would give is to be aware that this is a lively area and depending on the parade and party schedule, you may have trouble catching your winks!

Great location, quirky New Orleans historic hotel
This is a very cool, historic and classic New Orleans French Quarter hotel. The location is perfect for hanging out in the Quarter. We really enjoyed our stay but New Orleans had a cold snap and we froze in our room at night because the old heating system in the house just couldn't keep up with the unexpected cold snap. The staff tried to locate a portable heater for us but the one they found didn't work. Even with all of that we still enjoyed our stay.

Stay away.
They first put us on the 1st floor which was very hot when we got to our room we asked where the temp control was and on the first floor there is only one thermostat? Which they control we then moved to 2nd floor. Room was very small , run down, and only surface clean. No attention to details. Shower head was hanging by a thread sink was all clogged up and no water pressure had to ask for hangers! Bed posts and dressers were broken The only thing good was the coffee. And the location The town was booked so we had no choice but to stay. And they wouldn’t give a refund if we left. Overdue for renovations

We are from New Orleans but booked this because we have seen it all our lives and thought it would be fun to stay there. Sadly, it was not a good experience. The sheets and comforter were stained (at least I hope it was a stain and not just dirty)! The wallpaper was peeling off, carpet was dirty, windowsills were dirty and the furniture was faulty. The curtains were frayed, too. The room was small but I expected that. For almost $300 a night, I expected better.

Property is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. However, for what this building is and considering its history, it is not managed or maintained in a way that shows care and appreciation. There is no customer service. The attendant was over heard on her phone having unprofessional conversations with her friends. There were broken pieces of antique furniture, beds were in poor condition and the property seems to be "half-ass" maintained. There is no assistance offered by staff with bags, no perks. One day, our room wasnt even serviced. For the price you pay, you do not get the service expected. However, the location and beauty of this historic home can make up for those things. Overall was happy with my stay, but there is a lot of improvement that could be done.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This is a historic building in the historic French Quarter on Royal Street. The property it'self is extremely old-world(y) and beautiful. I stayed in the European Delux room, and it was as expected, however, the downside is, obviously the room is extremely small (I went alone) and if I were to have been with someone it would have been uncomfortable. Additionally, the bathroom was TINY, only a stand up shower that was too dark, moldy smelling and lacking in hot water lol, with ALL that being sad, the staff was super friendly and nice, and the location was simply perfect! A block away from Bourbon street but far enough to not be RIGHT in the middle of the mess! The property itself is worth looking at even if you don't stay here, very beautiful!

There were six of us, three separate couples in three different rooms. Air conditioning quit in two of the rooms. First couple left for different hotel, second couple moved to lesser room next to mine that had functioning air. My room air worked fine. Hotel is clean, staff is friendly and efficient....building is really old......but that is part of the experience... staying in the middle of the French Quarter in an old Victorian mansion that looks like the inspiration for the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland....sitting on the second floor balcony drinking wine at midnight, watching the human parade amble by....under a crescent moon....loved every minute...

Sitting in the garden at the fountain and drinking a whiskey with friends, was VERY pleasing. Not having ice available by the hotel, was not. The price of warm white wine was ridiculous - $33 for a bottle, retail sold by the market at $6, is highway robbery. I did not expect to pay a competitive price for product sold by the hotel, but this was simply outrageous. Also, all 4 of us, in 2 separate rooms, had flea-bites, so perhaps a good fumigation should be done. A good stay marred by little details not attended to.
