Hotel Mazarin

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel location was perfect and very close to Bourbon Street less than half a block away. Our rooms were not in the main building but were quiet away from any noises from Bourbon or Bienville St. Parking garage is across the street from the hotel entrance and valet only. I felt my car was very safe. All staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely choose to stay here again when I return to New Orleans."
