The Mercantile was the perfect place for us to stay. We only had a short visit as I was visiting a friend in Texas. We drove to New Orleans before I had to go back to Vancouver, Canada. We dropped our things off and went off to explore and take as much in (photos, palm trees, culture, music, wine, all the magnificent sights, warm and friendly people) before check out. This place was perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer. Next time I will. Thank you so much to the lovely and very helpful staff!!

Valet is hit or miss. First night there we waited 20 mins and then recieved text message that said unfortunately there was no valet to retrieve our vehicle. Staff easnt any help with this. So we ended up door dashing food. The restaurants around the hotel were either bars or $30-$50 per person. The beds are really hard but the pillows are fluffy, lumpy but fluffy. And if you get a room around the elevator its like a continuous thunder storm.

I had a pleasant stay at the Mercantile Hotel. It's in a fantastic location—just a short walk to the heart of the city, making it easy to explore New Orleans. The rooms are spacious, which is a big plus for families, and the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch to start the day. However, the hotel is a bit older, and some of the features, like the door, can be a bit finicky (you need to push it to lock). Housekeeping is only done on request or every three days, which could be a downside for those who prefer more frequent cleaning. Additionally, the cleanliness could be improved in some areas. Despite these minor issues, I would definitely return due to the great location and the size of the rooms. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option in a central location, the Mercantile Hotel is a solid choice.
