Fantastic location- just outside of the French quarter so it’s quiet at night. Our room was spacious and clean. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect and plenty of parking if you’re driving there. The only bad thing is there is no pool.

Great place to stay

Awesome hotel. Very accommodating. Great location. Walking distance to all of the nice restaurants we went to for brunch and dinner. Can also easily walk to Bourbon. Hotel is really nice and interesting. Rooms were clean and very comfortable.

Great room

We had a lovely stay at The Brakeman Hotel. Our room was excellent — spacious, well-equipped with great coffee facilities, and offered a fascinating view overlooking the cemetery. There’s a small coffee shop in reception, but note that it doesn’t serve food and has limited opening hours, so this may not be the place if you’re after on-site dining. However, if you’re looking for a high-quality room, friendly staff, convenient parking, and a great location close to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, this hotel is perfect.
Debra, 3-night trip

Nice boutique hotel near Louis I cemetery. Walkable to the FQ. Limited amenities… cafe doesn’t open until 8:30 and closes at 3 pm. Some dining and drinking establishments within a couple blocks… bar tonique and jewel of the south especially notable.
