Wife, 3-year-old and I stayed here for several days during Christmas holidays 2009 and loved it. It's a really cool hotel just a block or so off Bourbon, so it's right there, but it's also quiet when you want it to be. Close to a cool little store in the French Quarter if you need personal items or food, this is just a really cool place. The Saints lost twice in that stretch, but the Super Bowl win erased all that pain. Stay here and enjoy yourself immensely.

Perfect 3-day-weekend home-base, and perfect-sleeper mattresses!

My wife and I came for a 3-day-weekend getaway and booked directly with the front-desk to get a last-minute Memorial Day Weekend reservation. Even though the web-page reservation system didn't recognize our existence, a confirmation call to "in-house-reservations" assured us that we were expected. We walked almost everywhere, or took the busses and streetcars, didn't have or need a car. The weekend stay was enough to satisfy our desires to attend a party in the nearby Midtown area on Friday, and visit the WWII Museum on Saturday, and go to church plus Commander's Palace Restaurant for Sunday-Brunch, then taxi to the airport for return home (to Detroit) that evening. We strolled around the French Quarter; the location of the hotel made it easy and we didn't even spend any money, there was so much "cheap-seats" entertainment all around the area. The comfort-level of the room and the soft premium mattresses was better than what we enjoy at our home! The included morning breakfast-buffet was good-and-hearty, and the adjacent front-desk service was impeccable. I forgot my video camera in a taxi cab, but the front-desk coordinated my contacting the cab company to have the cabbie return it to the hotel, and the hotel mailed it back to me (charged me for the shipment costs, of course, and I gave a $* tip each for the cabbie and the front-desk besides). The bartender was entertaining a a free-drink coupon was included with the check-in packet! The historic John J. Audobon Birdwatching Studio is part of the hotel building. Downtown New Orleans has lots of good hotels, and Dauphine Orleans is mid-priced among them, but Dauphine Orleans is the only where we have stayed twice't already, and we'll be back there again and again to facilitate our craving for New Orleans tourist fun!

I booked this hotels many months in advance. We wanted to stay just one time in a French Quarter Hotel with a balcony! Reserved a deluxe double room with a balcony. When we arrived we were given a room. Went to the room and found a cramped standard double with a very small bathroom (hardly fit the toilet) one tiiny little window - and NO balcony. The clerk wasn't going to say anything about it. When I called he apologized and told me the "hotel had oversold" but he would reduce my rate. He reduced the rate but it was higher than I could have gotten had I reserved the double myself - much higher. We had to stay there - couldn't get in a cab and look for another hotel.. And I don't know If I just got the only horrible bed they had because other reviewers liked the beds.... but ours was terrible! My husband and I rolled together from side to side and top to bottom. It was like sleeping in a hole. Looks like it's just "luck of the draw" whether or not you get a nice room at this hotel. And, by the way... there is NO business center. The lap top they had for hotel guests was in the lobby and didn't work. We stayed two nights. After the first night we left our room at 8:00 a.m. to do touristy things and were very busy - returning to our room after 3:00 p.m. - and the room still hadn't been made up.
