This hotel was so unique! We loved the walkability to other areas of NOLA. There was easy access to tours from the downstairs lobby - hop on/hop off bus, cemetery tour. The rooms were comfortable and there were so many points that required key access that the location felt very secure.

Very pleased with my stay at The Brakeman. Historic boutique hotel close to everything but not too close! Will absolutely stay here again, next time I’m in NOLA.

This was a rare find. Historic structure but rooms were modernized. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Big bathroom and bedroom. Quiet. Front desk check in was a little disheveled due to new staff but she was very helpful and friendly. Didn’t mind the inexperience because she was so nice and trying so hard. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Super clean room, halls, and lobby. Hotel is safe and secure, requiring a key for nighttime entry, elevator, and hall entry. Convenient to the French Quarter but out of the way and quiet. Staff goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful.
