This rating would have been ABOVE average, but the housekeeping staff leaves a great deal to be desired. However, the front desk staff was PHENOMENAL!

Les, the night front desk manager and Othello went above and beyond the call of duty - when I had to deal with a horrendous experience with a local restaurant. These gentlemen are a class act!

We stayed at the Place d'Armes before and just loved it. We had not been there post-Katrina and were so happy to find the same wonderful accomodations! Dionne at the front desk and Chris the bellman were particularly helpful and went out of their way to assist us. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The location is fantastic, the ambiance is amazing and the staff very friendly.

My wife and I stayed at this lovely French Quarter hotel over 20 years ago, during the Thanksgiving weekend. Two teenage daughters later, we were at the Montelone and decided to treat our daughters to the real New Orleans experience at the Place De Arms. They loved it, we loved it and it brought back some great memories. We even stayed an additional day. The hotel is a collection of 7 buildings around a wonderful courtyard that includes a pool, bar, etc. The Place de Arms is only a half block off Jackson Square and close to the great restuarants in the Quarter. We had a ground floor room that was bigger than the Montelone hotel and service was excellent. We are going back during Fall break our girls loved it so much. I would heartily recommend the Place de Arms!

This is the second time that we have stayed in this little gem (once before Katrina). It is tucked away just half a block from Jackson Square on a safe street. We just park the car and can walk or ride the streetcar anywhere that we want to go. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful both times. The first time, we stayed in a interior room, which was a little small for me. This time we paid a few extra dollars for the larger deluxe room, which was perfect. I have recommended this to all of my friends for a quiet little getaway to New Orleans.
