Hotels near St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in New Orleans

I was nervous because I'm not much of a hotel person due to bad experiences overtime, but I was relieved!! It was clean and the staff was kind! Parking was easy! Peaceful!! I would definitely recommend a stay at this location and I will return!!

Nice sea view room, great breakfast Everything is very good, cheaper than looking for a hotel when traveling by yourself

I stayed at this hotel 10-14 January 2022 for government business and I will never stay at this location, or another Courtyard by Marriott again. First of all, I booked my reservation myself because I was to tell the booking receptionist what group I was with. I called several times in November to book a room but was placed on hold for 15+ minutes each time never being able to complete the booking process. I ended up reserving a room using the Bonvoy app. The actual stay was decent besides the constant slamming of doors, the blinking light directly above the bed, and the confusing light switch setup. The room was clean and modern, but for a 4-day stay I did expect at least one visit from the cleaning staff, but that seemed a bit excessive. Throughout this time, and navigating around the government business I was attending, I attempted several times to confront the desk clerk about ensuring I receive the government rate as I was unable to do so over the phone prior to arriving. On the third night of my stay I received a confirmation via the Bonvoy app that I would receive the government rate. I also got verbal confirmation from the clerk working the night desk on 13 January when I asked if there would be any issue with me checking out at 3am the next day. Checked out of the hotel and was on my way to the airport when I received the electronic receipt in my email for $299/night. This is not the government rate. Upon returning to work the following Monday I called and was directed to speak with Jeanine about the issue. Even though she did assist me with reversing the tax charges, she was rude, unsympathetic, and disruptive as I tried to explain the issue. She did confirm that she was given a list of members who were to receive the government rate but that she took no further action because I did not call to confirm that my name was on the list or that I was indeed attending....if my name was on a list that was given to you, and I had an active reservation 2 months prior, why would this be a problem? Name on list...check. Reservation made by the same name....check. Not so fast! Because I was having difficulties communicating with Jeanine, I had a co-worker of mine who deals with hotel billeting speak to her and she claimed to him that I was extremely rude and degrading to her, which is an absolute lie. I never called her by anything but her name, never used profanity, and only raised my voice when she interrupted me so I could finish what I was saying. Still, no progress. Because of this trip being directed by government, it is not supposed to cost the military member a dime out of pocket. My leadership decided that if I could get a letter from the hotel stating they would not honor the government rate, the hotel cost may be covered. Wrong. After politely requesting such a letter from Jeanine 3 times, I was given what is basically Jeanine's excuse slapped on letterhead. 3 months after this whole ordeal I am now looking at being persona

Front desk great help. Nice hostel. Just didn’t get breakfast as I had to leave earlier and was not able to get a bag to go.

There is really nothing to say about the hotel. During the epidemic, it is not only cheap but also has fewer people! The neighborhood is also very close to French Street, and there are delicious oysters, ACME restaurant is recommended, the seafood is really delicious!

Great location only minutes walking distance to the cruise port/outlet mall and is across the street from the streetcar/trolley line, and only a block from the WW2 museum. From here you can go anywhere in the city that you need. No pool but we don’t swim a whole lot so it’s not an issue. Staff was super helpful with an issue with our room and allowed us to check in early. Will gladly recommend this to anyone and will probably use it again next time we visit New Orleans.

We booked the hotel seeing that it had 4 stars, there was a pool and the amenities list said there was an oven and microwave for the room. I can tell you that when we got there we were definitely surprised and not in a good way. The pool was closed even though they put a sign on the door thanking people for staying 6 ft apart. I don’t understand how you can be 6 ft apart if you can’t even go into the pool area, let alone the pool itself. Another reason we were extremely unhappy was because we had brought frozen food expecting to be able to heat it up and there was no oven, nor a microwave in the room. For a 4 star hotel that is ridiculous! Additionally, the hotel was doing some COVID-19 relief programs which in retrospect is very nice of them due to the fact that New Orleans is a poor area, but they did not let us know about it when we booked the room and the outside the hotel was full of homeless people and others just sitting around smoking and drinking by both doors outside and roaming throughout the lobby. My husband and I were very displeased and even though the hotel was giving them food and water, they created a place where anyone could have definitely caught the virus if they aren’t careful enough or if anyone walking in had it. If we ever go back to New Orleans, we will not be staying there.

Clean and bright, on the Mississippi River, very close to attractions. Of course the best is Drago’s on the first floor.

Hotel good location a block off of Canal St. and Bourbon street. Room with king bed was a little smaller than I thought but adequate. Very modern features in room and enjoyed the rain head shower very much. Checkin was easy and front staff person was friendly. Only did a 2 night stay.

Excellent customer service provided by Sharnell Johnson - Front Desk Agent! She was extremely helpful to my husband and me. Although we are not new to New Orleans regarding visiting, but this was our first experience at the Blake Hotel. She helped us by providing excellent directions to each place we wanted to go. She also calmed my fear of elevators by giving great details on when the elevator was last serviced and the amount of usage on a daily basis. She also gave her personal experience of the elevator and made me feel comfortable enough to ride it alone. She greeted us each day that we were here with a smile and a warm greeting. We will definitely stay again at this hotel and we pray that Ms. Johnson will still be working at the hotel. The Blake Hotel needs to employ more Front Desk Agents with the same personality and knowledge that Ms. Johnson has. It would aid in the continued success of The Blake Hotel for Ms. Johnson to serve in management on how to treat guests. She is truly great and awesome! We will definitely be back!
