I strongly believe repeat guests should be recognized with WELCOME BACK. If you decide to give a guest a handicapped room (that they didn’t ask for), at least let them know that when you hand them the key, and ask if that’s okay. Parking here sucks. Had a great meal and drinks in Bayou Bar.

I honestly wouldn't stay anywhere else. Friendly staff, everything you need is on the property. Great bar, great cafe, great restaurant, excellent second bar with rooftop view of whole city. Within walking distance of magazine street in the gorgeous Garden District, packed with shops and restaurants. The street car is just outside to take you to the French Quarter or you can Uber for under $10. You get that old New Orleans feeling with some modern amenities. Highly recommended

Loved the convenience of The Pontchartrain and the restaurants, rooftop bar and breakfast/coffee shop. However, for the price, I did not find it to be worth the amount spent. Rooms could use some updating, especially carpet in rooms and hallways and only one of the two elevators was working with staff stating it could take months before it is repaired. Customer service was excellent and food/drinks were delicious I was just not overly pleased with the quality of the room for the rate charged.

The staff was nice and the hotel definitely had that New Orleans feels to it but just not what I was expecting. Definitely do NOT bring a car unless you want to pay an extra $50 a day for parking and there was another $20 a day charge for amenities that Expedia didn’t mention. I just don’t think it was worth it for what we paid.

The Pontchartrain tries hard to be be hip, but it desperately needs a renovation.Soiled and torn carpeting,broken closet doors and tired decor need a refresh.
