Top Fair Grounds Race Course Hotel Reviews

The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

8/10 Good

"It was a very quirky hotel. Loved the hardwood floors even though they were a little slanted. The beds and pillows were very comfy. Didn’t particularly like that there was no view out of the window. It was very convenient to all the sites and liked that the parking was across the street."

Chateau Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, spacious room, good staff, good price per night. Very accesible to bourbon street. But, I can't understand how the have almost sheer curtains that allow sunlight to enter from 6 AM. Very noisy place because employees working and talking themselves from 8:00 AM. Do mot recommend this place if you want to party until midnight and like to sleep late morning."

"Our “framily” of four had a great time! The hotel was close enough to everything but didn’t have the noise. Check in was great and the bell boy Jamal was excellent!
