The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

8/10 Good
"I absolutely loved the vibe and atmosphere of the No. 77 Hotel! It has a really cool, unique feel and is in a great location. However, if you’re a light sleeper, I would definitely recommend requesting a room away from the first floor and the street. There was construction nearby, and I could hear every car that drove over the metal plates in the road throughout the night. There’s also a club right outside, so the noise can definitely be an issue if you’re trying to get a good night’s sleep. If you’re in New Orleans to have a good time, enjoy the nightlife, and don’t mind a little noise, I would highly recommend this hotel. I really enjoyed the hotel itself—I just wish I had been placed in a quieter room."
