I recently stayed at the Cornstalk Hotel in the French Quarter and while it has some charm, it had its downsides too. The place is definitely unique with its historical décor and comfy beds, but I found our ground floor room to be pretty small with a minuscule bathroom. The noise from the street was noticeable, especially since I stumbled in during Mardi Gras. Overall, it was a decent experience with some quirks.

My room on the ground floor was luxurious yet quite small, and the tiny bathroom made it a bit cramped. I’ve heard the second floor has larger rooms, but those must be pricier.

The hotel’s location is its biggest selling point—right in the thick of the French Quarter but just far enough from the wildness of Bourbon Street to find some peace.

While the hotel has a quaint ambiance, some public areas could use more thorough cleaning. It’s got character, but a little upkeep would go a long way.
