Grand Isle Library

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and have already talked about another trip to New Orleans and staying here again! If you want a cheap hotel look somewhere else because when you pay cheap you get cheap!! Location: Much quieter area away from the hustle and bustle but still very much walking distance to French quarter or to take RTA/ street car. Nearest coffee shop that is extremely good is called Allgood. If you don’t want to pay for an uber from the airport you can catch the bus from the airport that drops you directly at the New Orleans library which is across the street. Comfort/Cleanliness: From the entryway hallway to the front of the rental unit clean, as for the unit itself immaculate! Never once did I encounter anything that was not clean or immaculate. Even the art is dusted off. The king bed in one of the rooms was comfy and the pillows were lush, thank you for having an abundance of pillows and towels. We definitely needed extra towels for the stay and they were provided in the linen closet. Utilities: So grateful for the washer and dryer in unit next time I won’t pack so much and just wash more. The kitchen was stocked with items you might need during your stay such as plates, tea kettle, coffee pot etc, Thank you for accommodating with checkout. Minor things to note: the tv remote in one of them rooms needed new batteries and some of the fixtures like shower handle needs tightening. Thank you Mary Beth see you soon!

Outstanding accommodations

Our stay at the Eleanor was fantastic. We had a group of 12, including three young children, and the accommodations were perfect for our group. There was plenty of space and more than enough beds for everyone. The beds were very comfortable, and the building and hallways were clean and well maintained. We especially appreciated the added security. The main entrance required a key code, as did access to the elevators. There were also security cameras on the main level and a nighttime security guard who was always helpful and courteous. Those extra measures gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. The location was excellent. It was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy some quiet, yet close enough to walk to nearly everything we wanted to see. The World War II Museum, Aquarium, Riverwalk, and French Quarter were all within about a 20-minute walk. The on-site parking garage was convenient. We were surprised to learn the day before arrival that parking was ran separately with an additional fee, so that would have been helpful to know earlier. However, the parking rate was very reasonable compared to other options, especially for our four-day stay. The pool and hot tub were also a nice bonus and a great place to relax after a day of exploring. The only thing we felt could be improved was adding a little more lounge seating, especially for larger groups like ours. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property.
