Clean and Quiet
Super clean room, halls, and lobby. Hotel is safe and secure, requiring a key for nighttime entry, elevator, and hall entry. Convenient to the French Quarter but out of the way and quiet. Staff goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

Don't Miss IT!
This was an amazingly pleasant, three-day stay. Our check in with Rainisha was fabulous; she is wonderful.During the evening, Dee came on and she was also fabulous. These are five-star staff. The location of Brakeman Hotel was super easy, off and on the I-10. The hotel is located adjacent to the French Quarter within easy walking distance, yet very quiet to avoid the "noise of the quarter." The building is a quaint piece of New Orleans history. The room was very clean, well furnished, with a good bed and was super, super secure. All in all, I we couldn't do better. If/when we again visit NO our choice for lodging is already made; get to the Brakeman Hotel, ASAP!

Mr Gregory checked us in. The best guy i have met. He knew the city and the best spots to eat at a great price. This gentleman knows his city and is proud off it. No other ataff evwn bothered to speak to us during the day. He works the evening shift. It was an honor staying here and having the opportunity to get to know this man.
