We absolutely loved The Brakeman Hotel! Renisha manages the Front desk and was incredible! She looked after all our needs from arrival to calling us a taxi on our departure day. The location is perfect and very easily walkable to the French Quarters! We would definitely stay at The Brakeman Hotel again.

This hotel is located within walking distance to most the French Quarter, Canal Street and Treme. It is within walking distance to the streetcars and one of the stops for the on off tour bus. The staff is Top Notch, best staff I have experienced in a long time.. My room was very comfortable with a refrigerator and coffee maker. I will definitely stay here again.

This hotel is in the Visitors Center on Basin Street. It is an old railway station. The hotel has the charm of the old-style railway stop. Wooden walls and exposed brick make this hotel unique. The rooftop area is limited to special occasions. Across the street to the old cemetery.
