My recent stay at Historic Streetcar Inn was a mixed experience. while the location was fantastic for exploring the Garden District and getting to the French Quarter, I found the room itself lacking in cleanliness, especially with torn towels and some issues with the air conditioning. The friendly staff did help when I raised concerns, moving me to a better room with nice amenities. Overall, it holds promise due to its character and accessibility, yet it still needs improvements.

My stay at the Historic Streetcar Inn was a mixed bag. The location is perfect, right on St. Charles and just a trolley ride from the French Quarter, but the overall cleanliness was a huge letdown. While the charm of the historic building is undeniable, I ran into issues like dirty linens and a lack of proper housekeeping. It could be a fantastic gem with better management.

My stay at the Historic Streetcar Inn had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for accessing the streetcar and exploring New Orleans, and the staff member at check-in was friendly. However, I encountered some issues with communication regarding check-in times and a lack of amenities. Overall, it was an affordable option, but I didn't feel fully taken care of during my visit.

The room was decent but quite small and lacked windows, which made it feel a bit claustrophobic. I did appreciate the cleanliness of the space, though it would have been nice to have more room to move around comfortably.

While there were communal coffee and tea options, they were not well-stocked—most notably, there were no tea bags available at the time. I expected better considering the location's charm.

The housecleaning service left much to be desired, as I only saw staff during check-out. Also, the broken refrigerator in my room was a disappointment, and I don't understand why there was a cleaning fee when service was minimal.

I had a mixed experience at the Historic Streetcar Inn. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the French Quarter and tons of nearby dining options. However, the accommodations left a lot to be desired, with issues like torn towels and stained sheets. And while the staff I encountered was friendly, the lack of regular housekeeping was disappointing.

My room had a unique character with a cozy setup, but it wasn't as clean as I hoped. I found some hair in the shower and noticed the sheets had stains. Room size was decent, yet it felt quite cramped with no seating apart from the bed.

There were quite a few facilities listed, but the absence of daily housekeeping was surprising. The fridge in my room was broken, and I had to figure out the towels situation on my own, which felt unprofessional.
