Our stay was great, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The beds are very comfortable, I slept like a baby. There is a bar downstairs and the food is really good there, especially the wings. I definitely recommend stay here.

My stay
It is a lovely hotel with comfortable beds and linens. Smart decor. My complaint would be not having the room serviced. There is no placard to place on the door to ask to not be disturbed or to be cleaned. I went out early for the day and came back tired to rest at 4 that is when the maid came to clean and disturb me. Another note is no one at the main front door. It is a heavy door and when you have luggage and no one there it is not so welcoming.

What happened to this lovely hotel?
The restaurant and cafe are good and staff is amicable. Unfortunately the rooms seem to have gone into disrepair. I have stayed there several times but this year out room had missing light bulbs, non working lamps, a very wet carpeted floor on arrival, mushroom type orange mold around the bathtub, all broken towel hooks, broken shower faucet and the toilet made huge screeching sounds so I could not use the bathroom while my daughter was sleeping.

The Pontchartrain definitely has its charms, from a lovely and eclectic lobby to the three excellent restaurant options in the hotel, but our time there also had several pitfalls. At check in, we were given a wifi password, but the wifi was open and public - there was no option to use faster locked wifi anywhere or to use the password. This was unfortunately poor internet security. We were given two waters at check in for the whole stay and some drink tickets we were told were complimentary but were actually included in the amenities fee and we didn't use them. There wasn't any mention of the amenities fee that is on the website at check in or check out, so we assumed it was bundled into the price we paid for our rooms...it was not. It's $25 USD/day for the water (2), the wifi (which was open), cleaning, drinks (2) etc. separate from the room fee, which I really wish we had've known in advance instead of receiving an unexpected charge the day after we left. The ceiling in our bathroom also started leaking on the first night and plaster began raining down on the toilet. When we made mention of this, there was no option to move rooms because the hotel was full and the repairs couldn't be completed until we left, so the only thing we were offered was a patch job to prevent further fallout - no compensation. If I had've known about the amenities fee, I would have requested it at least be waived for the day we had to spend outside of our room for that patch job to be completed.
