The Queen Anne

Dirty chairs lack of room cleaning until after 5 pm and no compensation for it when brought to the attention of manager/​owner. They don’t care! !!

My mom and I stayed in this hotel for a girls weekend trip to New Orleans and were overall very pleased with this hotel. It’s really cute and definitely the kind of style you’d expect when staying in New Orleans. I would recommend staying in a smaller hotel of this type to get the full NOLA experience. Our room was a good size and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets and blankets were actually soft! I’m so used to overbleached rough feeling linens from major hotels that this was a pleasant change. The location is great too! It’s only a few blocks from the French Quarter and would be walkable in the daytime, but I’d take a cab or streetcar for nighttime. A cab was only $ 6-​$ 7 and the streetcar is $ 1.25/person. The reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 stars is because we had to check in one place, park in another, stay in another and get breakfast in yet another! 4 different places for 1 hotel is a little odd, but luckily the weather was fine and they locations are all very close so we were ok walking around a bit.

I wanted to stay closer to the Garden District for my first trip to New Orleans, I wanted a place with character and I didn’t want to spend a ton of money. The Queen Anne fit the bill. You check in at the Prytania Park Hotel which is about a block away. The hotel is at the border of the Lower Garden District, a block south of St. Charles Ave. The surrounding neighborhood is a bit sketchy but I felt safe and it’s very close to restaurants, bars, pharmacies, the streetcar, and maybe 20 minutes from the French Quarter.
The staff was very pleasant and let me store my luggage when I arrived several hours before check-​in. My room was on the 3^rd floor of a pretty, renovated mansion with a lovely porch and garden; if you don’t like stairs, be sure to request a room on the first floor. The room was clean and comfortable. I didn’t have a car but there was plenty of parking available. Out of 4 nights, the only noise complaint was when there appeared to be a house party a block away. The continental breakfast was satisfactory. Overall, the hotel was simple and clean and a good deal.

Room was comfortable, we heard no noise and breakfast was basic. Good location and would stay again if needed!

I stay in the Garden District when I visit New Orleans because there are plenty of fun areas within wandering distance if you have a good pair of walking shoes, and you only have to deal with the drunken masses if you choose to enter that section of town.*
For an Easter weekend getaway, the Queen Anne was the cheapest, non-​chain hotel I could find so I booked it for two nights. There is no concierge at The Queen Anne — it is basically a part of the Prytania Park Hotel, so you check in there, then walk a block down the street. There is parking for the Queen Anne across the street at the Prytania Oaks, which is also where you can get breakfast. We didn’t spend a ton of time at the hotel, but our experience was decent when we were there. We stayed on the 2^nd floor facing the street, and while we could hear some noise from the cars passing, it didn’t bother us much.
As long as they continue to pop up as the most reasonable cost in the Garden District, I’ll continue to stay there.
*My experiences in New Orleans are usually not during Mardi Gras.

Beautiful hotel and great location! The rooms were spacious and well decorated. I never heard one other hotel guest like I do in most hotels. Plenty of free parking in their other property’s lot or on the street. Room had everything you could ask for including a hair dryer, fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Truly a great hotel and perfect for a romantic getaway or if you don’t want to stay in the loud French Quarter.
