Beautiful but no elevator or breakfast
Beautifully renovated old home - only downside was rooms were on second floor and no elevator for luggage but Diane agreed to hold the luggage and I only took what I needed for my brief overnight stay up the stairs. She was very helpful! However listing said breakfast was provided but only coffee/tea were available.

Halloween
The Streetcar in was good for just a one night stay. The rate was good for NOLA. The room was a bit small and wanky but with it being old that is just part of the charm. It is a bit of distance from town so get your walking shoes on as the cable car isn't always convenient, full or on time.

Something Different!
I had never stayed anywhere with no staff on the premises but it worked out well. I did have a problem with the tv and there was no one to help me solve the problem.

I didn’t like the digital key to get into the rooms and the front door. Also they didn’t have early check in so we had to wait until 4 pm and we got off the cruise ship at 10 am

Tulane Parents/Homecoming Weekend
Was what we were expecting for the most part. Wish we could have gotten additional towels with a charge. Diane at check in is great. Location was convenient between downtown and Tulane, with street car stop right out front. I would probably not stay there again, but it was by no means terrible. Just a few places we have stayed before, that were booked, that we like better.

Very nice staff but you’re kind of on your own with no staffed front desk, which is perfectly fine if you know this prior to your stay. Don’t expect to call down to a front desk and have your shower head fixed or tv looked at if something goes wrong. We were there for 6 days and needed to call on the 3rd day to get towels which took a few hours to get. The floor in the room hadn’t been cleaned so it made our socks black. The in-wall air conditioning unit definitely needs a new filter, we couldn’t stop sneezing. The room smelled very damp and musty. It could really use a dehumidifier. No exhaust fan in the bathroom so lots of mildew and mold on the ceiling. When we did get in touch with staff, they were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Just be prepared to fetch your own trash bags in the common area and remove your own trash to place in the garbage bins outside which seem to line the street daily.

Mostly good. Lavatory faucet only delivered a trickle of water. Also, would have liked at least one chair - something to sit on when you put on your shoes etc.

The description of the guest house is all a bit over-egged, so if you go expecting a bit less than promised you’ll be fine. My room was on the top floor, large room but lacking any real care to the layout (i.e. lots of space but not even a chair to sit in and a broken ironing board in the corner). Also as it was at the top the snazzy locking system didn’t work properly so I was able to get a key from the receptionist. Another issue being the water pressure for the shower, not a deal breaker - just takes longer to get the shampoo out. The early check-in fee isn’t very welcoming when you arrive to a new city, travelling 9 hours on a train and clearly I had a cold but I was still quoted the $40 extra for just one extra hour. It’s in their rules but still seems harsh. The house is in a fairly good location, tram stop outside and walkable to the garden district which has more food options.

Love the historic atmosphere and the tram stop just across the road. Didn't like that there was no one there to talk to, even someone there for an hour or two at set times would have been better. I was lucky when I checked in as there was someone there and she was very helpful otherwise I would have been in a room upstairs with no lift and as a 70 year old I would really have struggled with my luggage.

The receptionist was extremely helpful. The trolley stop right outside the hotel was the way to get to and from the French Quarter. Big room with a tall ceiling and comfy bed. Would surely stay here again.

Place was clean but no live humans around to talk to. Historic means old means amenities may be weak, i.e. toilet flushed very weakly, shower flow very weak, but adequate. Many loud thuds to about 11:30 pm from inconsiderate guests.

Mold on wall in Deluxe King Room
My husband and I stayed at the Historic Streetcar Inn for a wedding weekend. We were in the Deluxe King Room for 3 nights. Check inn was incredibly easy (you definitely need an up to date smart phone though). My operating system on my phone was too out of date to unlock the doors so I always had to have my husband with me. Coffee and tea are located on the first floor but it was clean and easy to find. Our room was spacious, bed was VERY comfortable. The one MAJOR drawback was that there was visible mold on the walls in our room. It was very unsettling. Unfortunately I never saw any front desk employee until the last day at check out so there was no one to complain to throughout our stay. For this reason alone I would not stay here again. The room and bathroom were clean overall other than the visible mold on the walls.

No frills - hidden gem
Booked this hotel to stay for a friends wedding in NOLA. Location was perfect for us. No parking lot but we were able to park on St Charles Ave. for most of the weekend, had to park around the corner for one night, but no problems. We had one of the king size rooms on the 2nd floor. No elevator. Room was nice. Bathroom was a bit small but functional. Only mirror was over the sink in the bathroom so for me (getting ready for a wedding) was a negative. There is a small balcony overlooking St. Charles which is shared by guests. There is a courtyard patio to enjoy a coffee. Smoking is allowed on the patio. There are a couple of vending machines and the coffee/tea room. There are no other amenities. There is a streetcar stop on the corner right by the hotel. It is a no frills hotel but a convenient location, clean rooms, good price. We would stay again.
