10/10 Excellent

"Always a Very friendly staff an excellent Hospitality to go along with the beautiful hotel and rooms Nice walk to canal street or steakhouses"

Holiday Inn FRENCH QUARTER-CHATEAU LEMOYNE by IHG

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay very much. The balcony was a great perk and the pool was beautiful. The bathrooms are kind of a strange setup. The shower and toilet are in one room with a door and then the sink is separate outside of that room with no door. Overall would recommend!"
