St Charles Coach House, an Ascend Collection Hotel

We recently stayed at the St Charles Coach House and overall we enjoyed our stay. Our room was comfortable as was the bed. The front desk staff were polite and helpful. We liked the proximity to the streetcar, a good breakfast cafe (Avenue Cafe), good restaurant (Lula’s) and great roof top bar in the Pontchartrain Hotel.

Overall, the hotel left a good impression. The location is nice—not too noisy—and we got a room on the second floor with a balcony. It’s clear that the property is being looked after and maintained in decent condition. There’s free parking available, but you’ll need to get a permit. The hotel smells pleasant, the bed linens were clean, and the room itself was tidy. Can’t say anything about the WiFi - we didn’t use that.

The property isn’t far from anything you want to do in the city. Free parking in private garage. No fuss check in. Spacious room. Other comments complained about the beds being “too soft”. They were perfect. Like sleeping on a cloud. Air con quickly cooled off the room. Staff were nice and didn’t hesitate to answer questions. There’s free snacks in the lobby! Will likely stay again the next time I visit.

This lovely hotel is in an excellent location for Mardi Gras if you go with children. Parking is also gated at the hotel. There is a fee for it, which is to be expected during this time of year. It is quiet at night once the parades end and everything settles down. If you want to experience bourbon or the partying atmosphere, I recommend staying closer to Canal Street.

This hotel was amazing, the sheets were really soft, it was quiet, 4 blocks from Magazine Street, it had tons of restaurants around the hotel within walking distance, they have free parking in a garage that is locked overnight, the room was large with coffee and a mini fridge. Housekeeping was great and the room was very clean.
