I loved the old hotel feeling you should experience in New Orleans. The location was great being away from the main party streets, but not that far away neither. Easy access to the trolley and many good restaurants one block from the back of the hotel. French market was only 2 blocks down too. The only problem was when checking out, was the woman at the desk would not let us use the suitcase cart on our own, like we were allowed to use when we checked in. She didn't know how to bill my credit card properly neither. She was overbilling it and didn't understand why it was being denied. I had to spend time on my cell phone with my credit card company and then let her speak to them, so she was able to understand what she was doing wrong. Very small restaurant in this hotel. Overall though, I would stay here again for the location.

My family and I have been staying at this hotel for 25+ years and always enjoy it! Herman and the rest of the staff treats us well and always makes sure we are taken care of completely. From the Parlor Suites to the regular rooms, it's old New Orleans hospitality at it's finest! I highly recommend a stay at this fine establishment.

The overall design of the place was beautiful but inside the hotel it smelled of mildew. It was in a great location and the staff was friendly but the security personnel in the parking lot or at the main parking entrance were awful. Prepare to be furstrated.

	Friendly Staff, Great Location, Great Prices

Le Richelieu is one of those fine, memorable places that makes a city memorable. The staff, the location, and the rooms are wonderful. The French Quarter comes to life here, this hotel shouldn't be missed.

	cozy, intimate, friendly bar and restaurant
	none

We stayed here a few years ago during a convention and enjoyed the homey and relaxed feel to it. It is close to everything lively in the quarter yet in a quiet and pretty part. A real find. We will be staying there again in June for a return vacation.
Free parking, but you dont need a car because you're close to it all.

We just spent March 29-31, 2004 at the Le Richelieu in the French Quarter. It is a very lovely, small old hotel on the quiet end of the quarter. The location is wonderful and so is the price. You can walk to almost everything, Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, French Market, River Walk. We felt very safe walking, although we were not out very late at night. A big plus, because we had a car, is the free, secure on site parking lot. Unheard of in the quarter. Your car is where you can see it. A security guard is on duty 24 hours a day. The room we had was not huge, but very nice. We found the plumbing alittle slow at peak times, but just planned around it. The little attached cafe had very good food, excellant service, and looks out on a very pretty courtyard. But, what makes this hotel stand out above many others, we feel, is the exceptional staff. Everyone was very helpful and attentive. A plus for staying at a smaller site, where you are not just a number. We almost cancelled because another site had some negative comments on it, sure glad we didn't. A great value.
