The Mercantile Hotel

This was honestly one of the best hotels I’d stayed at in years. The staff were amazing, especially Maggie the General Manager who was super helpful and friendly. She even gave us bottles of cold water after we stored our luggage and went out on our last day. The room was spacious and very clean, very comfortable beds and there were so many extras provided such as body lotion, hairdryer, toiletries etc. The (complimentary) breakfast choice was excellent - eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, yoghurt, fruit, bagels, bread, muffins, cereal, tea, coffee, water and juices. The location was great, approx 20/25 minute walk into Jackson Square and the French Quarter. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to friends and family!

We loved having a suite, and the record player with classic jazz records was a truly charming touch - we used it every single night we were there! Closet storage space was also great, and we loved the exposed brick wall. In terms of location, we found it to be a perfect base for walking around - close to great restaurants (Cochon, Cochon Butcher, Compere Lapin, Peche), walkable distance to the French Quarter and the Marigny, and walkable distance from the streetcar line to the Garden District. Also, it was close to the start of Mardi Gras parades! Surprisingly given its central location, the hotel was quiet and peaceful, and we got a great night's sleep every night we were there. The suite was also nice and clean, and the hotel's front desk was manned at all hours.

Thank you for an incredible stay! We dealt with some non-hotel related issues, including a rental car mishap and a member of our party having to leave early. The hotel was incredibly accommodating. Start to finish. The staff was super friendly. The room was updated and clean and super comfortable for our party of six. We’ve stayed here before and we will definitely be back! Thank you guys so much for everything

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Great location—everything was within walking distance, which made exploring the area super convenient. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. We really appreciated that they let us check in early, which made a big difference after a long trip. The room was spacious and clean, providing a comfortable place to relax. The breakfast was decent with a nice variety to start the day. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely stay here again.
