International House

Very Unique, Nice Location

Walking distance from all points of interest. Very nice restaurant connected to lobby.

Great Location, Some Hiccups

The IH lobby/bar area was beautiful (definitely a good happy hour spot for guests and partygoers), but the room didn't quite live up to the initial impression. The room was on the small side, not a big con since we spent very little time in the room itself. However, the furniture was very worn and both the small bedside table and the tiny lamp table were flimsy and uneven, which couldn't be ignored since there was no other storage space in the room. Our bathroom floor space was considerable, but, to our consternation, the sink area itself was extremely tiny (and consumed by the hotel provided tray & toiletries, which weren't replenished our entire stay) and there were no shelves in the shower or the rest of the bathroom. The light in the bathroom --and the room--was terribly dim. The strange terrycloth 'towel' bath curtain was stained, as was the bedspread, and the room itself was dusty. While the bed was comfortable, the pillows were ridiculously soft and we were forced to use our travel pillows for comfort. The room was supposed to include a flat screen TV but did not. There was still no available room service in the hotel (the restaurant was open but kept restricted hours), and the recommended delivery menus left in the room were outdated, though again, this only became an issue once since we were out and about most of the time. Absolutely no problems with noise--the room was extraordinarily quiet--and our limited interaction with the staff was pleasant. The selection of CDs by local artists in the room was a nice touch, but the CD player didn't work properly, and the CDs were available for purchase for $20 when local stores and online vendors offered them for $9.99. With the emphasis on local culture, it was a shame the hotel offered no local papers or event goings-on, only the national daily for the 13th grade (you know the one). The location of the IH is its biggest draw, as we walked comfortably to Bourbon, the WWII museum and various other must-sees. I must

Small room for the money

The room was the size of a shoebox. For the rate I paid, I could have had two rooms down the street and thrown a party.

Great Overall, but breakfast would have been nice!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Internation House, but I wished they had breakfast...it was slightly inconvenient to have to go next door in the rain to eat, however they did give us an umbrella so that was nice!

Great Hotel

Stayed here twice within the last 4 weeks. Great staff, very helpful and friendly. Restaurant has terrific food!! Rooms nice, will definitely stay again!

Parking is a complete rip off

paking was 38 dollars a day. Total rip off

Exceeded my expectations

Nice common area, friendly desk staff who helped me with dinner selections. Room was good sized and well-laid out. Bathroom was good sized. Good selection of TV channels, although the TV wasn't big or flatscreened. But hey, you're in New Orleans, get out of the room and live a little! Outside the French Quarter, but conveniently located to French Quarter, to Harrah's & to streetcars. A/c plus ceiling fan kept room cool.

Enjoyed my stay

Recently went to New Orleans for a one night stay. Hotel met or exceeded my expectations. Service was excellent and friendly! Ideal location!

International House

I had a great stay here. Friendly staff and a great location made my trip to New Orleans even better than expected.

great hotel for a great price

this hotel was not like many other large, chain hotels. it had an authenticity to it that most hotels don't have. and at the same time, it was chic, modern, and trendy. the staff was great--very willing to help, polite, and friendly. rooms are smaller than i was expecting, and my view wasn't the best. but it was not too pricey, and still really comfortable and great. would most definitely stay at this hotel again when i go back to new orleans. oh, and the location was fantastic. it was away from the hustle and bustle of the french quarter, but it was also very close (walking distance) to it as well.

Great Hotel

Great service, roomy, and centrally located to the other main attractions in the area!!!
