The Pontchartrain Hotel is a step back in time, comfortable, and well located. Reserving a room was easy, check-in not so much. Upon reserving the room I notified the hotel we would be arriving after midnight due to our flight. The staff stated that would be no problem. The morning of the trip I again contacted the hotel to confirm we would be arriving after midnight. When we arrived the person at the desk said they had no rooms and had given ours away because they thought we weren't coming. Luckily, they did have two rooms left, but were marked as unavailable due to not being serviced by housekeeping. The desk person checked them and they were clean and ready, but hadn't been updated in the system. The room was pretty, clean, and met our needs for one night. The bed, while small for the two of us, was comfortable. I appreciate the front desk staff and the manager to find a room and to issue a small refund for the smaller room. I would recommend The Pontchartrain, especially if you are arriving earlier in the day.

Not as expected
We left this hotel for another after one night. The elevator, hallways and our room smelled dirty and moldy. The chandelier in our room was covered in dust. Iā€™m not sure how it has such high reviews. The staff was accommodating of our request to cancel the remainder of our trip.

I enjoyed the multiple excellent dining options and rooftop bar. This is very convenient for guests. I also enjoyed the location, which is in the scenic and historic Garden District, away from the craziness of the French Quarter. Service was average to good as we had a delayed checkin by about 1.5 hours due to our room not being ready; it seems like they may have staffing issues. However, the staff was helpful and arranged a cab to the airport. The neighborhood does have some homeless individuals that panhandle near the hotel, so be careful when walking around. I would certainly come back and stay here again.

Real real real issues with my booking and checking in. I understand that checking in early is not guaranteed, but we arrived early in the morning, they did hold our luggage for us; however, the front desk agent kept telling us to check back and we could possibly check in early. Came back 4 or 5 times, kept getting told maybe, they would call us. Only to come back at the check in time, right on the money, and they had no room for us yet?!? We waited for an hour and it wasn't until we spoke up did they scramble and find us a room. Super frustrating and almost missed our reservation for a show. This room was booked months in advance also. We saw 4 different couples come in and get their key before us, checking in at the same time.

I loved staying here. The history around this hotel is fascinating. The entire place is beautiful and charming. Even though there was loud music downstairs and a rowdy wedding party going on, my room was quiet and I slept like a baby. The staff was amazing and very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to visit.
