Everything was in walking distance which was fantastic. Parking was tight. Water took a while to get warm. But it was still a super cute place to stay.

The room was odd. The door didn’t close well and would open up randomly. One of the beds felt like it was just put the the room without thought about size of the space. It was pretty cramped in there. The hotel itself was fine. Staff was sweet. The room was just weird.

My family and I stayed 2 nights at Rathbone Mansions we really enjoyed our stay! The room was perfect my youngest son is 10 he loved the pool and getting to swim at night. The lady that checked us in was super sweet and even recommend some places to eat within walking distance. I highly recommend if I’m ever this way again I’ll definitely be back!

Disliked: Amenities
It’s an older mansion, with history and character. What I was not happy with was we booked this place for the POOL, but they didn’t tell us it was 2 properties, and we were at the property with no pool. This was in super fine print ONLY on a confirmation email. Seriously. This unto itself, is shady, and I will not return. Properties must be clear about the details, it matters.

Enjoyable stay

We took this trip as a family. This motel was affordable for us. Its ran by American people. Its clean and for the most part pretty quiet. I felt safe here. The pool and hot tub were nice. If we needed anything the front desk was on it and got it to us in a timely manner. This is an old hoise built in the 1850's. Don't expect like a Holiday Inn. I really got the Lousiana feel staying here. Our room had a pull out couch, 2 beds, table, fridge, plates, bowls, silverware, microwave. Food gets pricey in New Orleans. So having that space came in handy.

Would definitely stay here again. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great communication both before and during our stay. Well located to explore both the French Quarter & Frenchman Street areas which are both walkable within 10 mins. Felt very safe and plenty of on street free parking in addition to the hotels off street secure parking. Also had a great pool area, water was ideal temperature to cool off on a hot humid day

Rathbone is very cozy and charming, and conveniently located. There were a few minor things that could be improved-- the kitchen sink in the room needed a new aerator (it sprayed water to the sides), and the lights in the pool area wouldn't turn on so it was a bit dark at night.

Nice place with great outside pool area.

Lovely place that was nicer than expected. The courtyard, pool area are wonderful and quiet for the area. The general area isn't very walkable in terms of amenities unless you're headed to Bourbon street, but otherwise was a very pleasant stay.
