“The neighborhood & staff make this a great place to stay, also the lobby is beautiful and lobby bar serves great cocktails. We were greeted by Diamiond and Shaunice at the valet when we arrived and the day we checked out. They were so friendly & had recommendations on where to eat (District Donuts) and asked us about our breakfast (Mollys Rise & Shine). All were a short walk from the hotel. We appreciated having a late check out. Lakellen was really helpful and even offered to hold our bags while we got a bite to eat since we were moving hotels mid week. We're looking to move here so we’re trying different hotels around town. Management- I hope y'all take care of the staff because they are truly the heart of any property. It's the difference between a stay and an experience!”
“Stayed here during my trip to New Orleans and overall had a really good experience. It’s a cute boutique hotel with nice, clean rooms and a comfortable setup. The staff was very friendly, and both check-in and check-out were smooth and easy, which I always appreciate when traveling. I chose this location because it’s not too far from downtown/French Quarter. It’s about a 25-minute walk, which is doable, but realistically there were times I didn’t feel like walking that far. Ubers can get a bit pricey, so that’s something to keep in mind when booking. The only downside for me was that my room didn’t have a refrigerator, which I really needed — especially being in a foodie city and wanting to bring leftovers back. Didn’t get a chance to try the food on-site, but overall it’s a solid option if you’re looking for a nice boutique stay with friendly service.”
“Great place to stay! Rooms need a little up keep. Staff is fantastic and friendly. Justin the valet is outstanding! Great personality, super friendly and had great recommendations! What you expect of southern hospitality!”
“My stay at the hotel was beyond perfect ! The check in experience was upmost hands down the best customer service experience I received in a long time . I truly want to thank Candy for going beyond expectations for me and my other half. Also the valet men and young lady were amazing as well . I will come back just because candy made it extra special.”
“Hotel Tonnelle is a total gem on St. Charles! The decor is absolutely stunning—modern, fresh, and perfectly inspired by the Garden District. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and well-designed with a lot of attention to detail. We loved the lobby bar for a nightcap, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It’s the perfect stylish home base for a New Orleans trip.”
“I did not personally stay there, so I cannot comment on the service. I was on a tour to view a room block for a conference. The hotel is rather small, but it possesses a great deal of character. It is quite charming and has been wonderfully renovated. I particularly enjoyed the lobby area; it is very pleasant.”
“Everyone was amazing! Shaunice and JaKeyra both handled our vehicle needs great. Both the ladies who checked us in and out were amazing. 10/10 experience. The only thing is I wish our room and a fridge.”
