The Irish House

We were in NOLA for a family reunion/Thanksgiving/memorial service so there were almost 30 of us needing lodging. A few stayed with family but most stayed at the 3 apartments at the Irish House. It was the perfect lodging for us and we were able to easily visit between apartments throughout the week. The apartments were fully furnished and had stocked kitchens for the cooks in the family as well as dishwashers and a washer and dryer. We couldn't have asked for anything more and I've never stayed anywhere that was so clean! The location was also perfect as it's right on the streetcar line and there were so many bars, restaurants, and fast food easy in and out spots for the kids. We'll absolutely stay here again for the next NOLA visit.

Really did miss the whole pay to park thing. Had to pay $142 to park for Sat 4:00p.m. to Tuesday morning at 8:00a.m. That should have been included in the room. I’ve never stayed at a place where they did that. Also it says print your pass and put it in your window. Umm I got the email while we were on the road traveling there? Would have been nice to at least get that email the night before the trip. Other than that everything was nice and clean. Had what we needed. If you’re a thick long hair girl beware, they have rainfall shower heads and I thought I would never get the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair. There is a trolley stop right out front which is great. Food places are walking distance.

We didn't feel we received value for the amount we paid to stay for 4 nights. The photos are a bit deceiving, all three units are above an AT&T store, the entrance to the units is up a back staircase from the AT&T store's parking lot next to a fast food restaurant parking lot. Not as "cute" as the photos give the impression. We like to walk but we felt we were too far away to walk to anything, you're definitely not close enough to the attractions downtown. The trolley is convenient and runs on Saint Charles Street. A taxi driver who dropped us off commented that the neighborhood is not safe to walk in at night. The unit while clean was not in great shape, black marks on the walls, a picture that was supposed to be hanging was on the floor. Because the floors are likely the original floors, it is a loud building when people are inside, we were able to hear other guests walking down the main corridor with the wood floors creaking day and night. Overall, not what we were expecting for the price we paid.
