Whilevit did not effect me, there is a real issue with the showers allowing so much water to get on floor and wall at opening. The floors became wet and slippery, so the possibility that a guest might slip and fall and injury himself seems very likely. You need to address and place full doors on shower area, and at same time place an exhaust fan in bathroom. RWS

Good hotel in perfect spot

The room is spacious, clean, and features a very comfortable bed, perfect for resting. However, the water-saving shower has such low water flow that it becomes uncomfortable and takes a long time to shower. We reported it, and while the staff was very willing to help, no solution was possible as it’s a standard feature of the hotel. On the other hand, the bar and food are of excellent quality and taste, though the menu could be more diverse. Despite these details, it’s definitely a recommendable experience.

I liked everything, everyone was very helpful, friendly, and seemed very experienced about the city and events going on. Room service was a very nice option. In my opinion if you take anything away from the experience, it doesn't work. Dont change anything. Thank you for an excellent week in New Orleans.

My wife and I visited post Christmas for a quick 3 day trip to eat, walk, listen to music and visit the WWII museum. We loved the lobby amenities and gym. Our room was very comfortable and the bed was great. We look forward to staying at the Fontenot again soon. PS-The lobby coffee shop was delicious and the crew there was first class!
