From time we arrived late Christmas night, to check out 2 days later, our whole experience was awful. So much for southern hospitality. Valet guy was asleep on the couch in the lobby, front desk guy was rude and seemed bothered that we were checking in, actually asked us why we were so late. The only fairly polite personnel was... more

I stayed at the St. James for three nights over the weekend of November 14, 2008. I have to say that I was very pleased with everything. The location was far from glamorous but was situated conveniently to all relevant parts of New Orleans. I never felt unsafe (except when I was on the back side of Bourbon Street late... more

I first visited this hotel in the fall of 2007. Recently I had to select a hotel in New Orleans for my staff and I that could accomodate us for a period of three months. We typically stay at a Hilton brand hotel due to the customer loyalty program. I recalled the excellent stay during the fall of 2007 (specifically... more

We stayed at the St. James for 5 days before Thanksgiving, as a quick getaway before the holiday season started. The only thing I knew about the hotel was what I found on this site, and from the hotel's website. Even with great reviews seeing is believing and we were a tad nervous booking without seeing. We shouldn't have been,... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in St. James for a few nights while we were in New Orleans. We ended up having to add an extra night onto our trip and the front desk was very helpful in getting us a great price for the extra saturday night. Everyone we encountered at the front desk was super friendly to us,... more

Four of us stayed at the St. James last weekend. My wife and I were in Room 117 which had a courtyard by the small pool. It was nice to stick your feet in the pool to cool off after walking so much. Ann at the front desk was fabulous. I really enjoyed her calling us "honey and baby" She... more

We wanted a smaller, more historic hotel that was near the scenes of New Orleans but not so close that there would be random trouble outside in the streets or in the halls. This is the most perfect hotel for being close (within walking distance), without being too close. After you wind down your festivities for each night, you can... more

This hotel is perfect for a trip to New Orleans. It is extremley clean, and the rooms are very spacious. The beds are very comfortable as well. The location could not be better! The French Quarter, and the Riverwalk are only a few blocks away. We never had to call a cab or drive anywhere. One particular employee at the... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this wonderful hotel this past weekend and had the most wonderful experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and the hotel was beyond clean. The staff, most notedly the night staff, helped us with all and I mean ALL of our needs. Alyssa and Braxton are the two people that helped make our stay amazing. Willing... more
