I stayed at the Brakeman on 2-5 Feb & 12-15 Feb 2023 (just before and immediately after a Carribean dance cruise). Although located just outside the French quarter, it is a 5-7 minute walk to get to Bourbon Street and the centre of the French Quarter. It is a relatively new hotel so the rooms are very modern. The location away from the noise of Bourbon Street and the centre of the French Quarter also ensured it was quiet so you can get a good night's sleep. The hidden gems of the hotel are the front desk staff. Mr Gregory Robertson, the night concierge is very helpful and is a mine of information about the city. His younger colleagues Jarvis and Ranisha are also very nice and helpful people. I am coming back to NOLA next year and look forward to staying at the Brakeman and meeting them again.

I really liked the location. The hotel used to be a rail station and that is the motif through out. It still acts as a tourist stop. It's just outside the French Quarter, like a 3 min walk. It's convenient for tours like the hop on and off bus as well as the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 tour (literally right across the street). My room was spacious and clean. Definitely felt is was value for the money.

The front desk staff was exceptional, especially as I was suffering from a touch of food poisoning when leaving the ship. Mr Robertson was helpful and very pleasant to speak with. Took pictures of us infront of the train. A wonderful experience considering my companion could barely walk. I would stay there again and definately worth the money.

Ann

Greats staff that are happy to recommend places for fun and food. Bed was very comfy, room surprisingly large. Everything really clean! Location is great - far enough for a quiet sleep, but close enough to walk to Bourbon Street, Frenchman Street and more

Gil

The receptionists were friendly and helpful, the room quiet and comfortable with a large bathroom, and there was no noise from neighbors or traffic. The location is just 2-3 blocks from the old quarter yet quiet and very safe.
