Everything was perfect, no complains. I totally recommend it!
Good service and price, it was clean and had free parking. It was very comfortable, we felt at home! They were very nice to my baby puppy, even gave him a cookie; this was a big plus for us.

The Alder was a neat hotel that checked all of our boxes for an overnight stay in New Orleans. We walked the area and found drinks and dining nearby. Parking was a great value! We thought our accommodations were very nice for the price. We would stay again!

Great location for visiting Tulane. Good dining options within walking distance. Comfortable and quiet rooms.
Furniture in the rooms is a bit worn. Would like heavier blanket/duvet on the beds.

Location and staff were excellent.
The plates were too large for the microwave, the laundry facility needed routine maintenance on the dryers.

Overall great quality - near tourist sites but quiet, comfortable and safe
Location was perfect. Didn't want to be in the center of noisy tourist area but close enough to be able to enjoy tourist sites. Also the area was safe and quiet so we could rest after being out all day. Rooms were spacious and comfortable.
The only downside was shower leaked water into the floor by the toilet. Also the coffee kurig didn't work- spit coffee grounds and hot water all over the table. But all else was good.

The staff were so helpful and so sweet. I would definitely stay here again
The room was a good size with 2 queen size beds. There was plenty of room for two peoples luggage and personal items. Then bathroom was very bright and the shower was fantastic. PARKING!!!!! The feral chickens!!!
I didnt like the fact that there were no smaller plates to fit in the microwave. Other than that, there was nothing else. This hotel was great.

Loved how relaxed the vibe of the hotel was. Check in was very simple and the staff was nice. The view wasn't anything special but the room was very clean and comfortable. The location was great and easily accessible. Also, I loved that there was free parking just across the street!

Nice clean and comfortable rooms .
Bit far out from bourbon St. Downtown area 4 miles i think We had a rental because it was the end of a road trip we had been doing for past 3 weeks only for that you be stuck cost you a fortune on taxis otherwise. Shady enough area around the hotel but police present a lot.

A wonderful hotel in a great location of New Orleans close to restaurants, cafes and the Garden District. The room was big and comfortable, all clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Would be great to have some breakfast option.
27 October 2024
We will definitely stay at the Alder Hotel on our next visit.
There was no breakfast offered. However, dining room & tv lounge area was very clean. Free coffee was available around the clock which was great. The location is ideal. It puts you 1 block away from New Orleans lifestyle & easy access to everything. The Gris Gris restaurant was an excellent recommendation by our Uber driver.
Nothing negative.

Looking forward to a return.
Marlene and Dominique...these two ladies set the tone of my stay. From assisting with checking in, to local dining etc. Housekeepers did an excellent job daily. The room was spacious with a sofa & reading chair, walk in shower and balcony. Located in an area that's walkable to get some exercise. Oh, free parking as well.
I had no complaints.

Clean and spacious with some little issues
Great location of the hotel in a safe and quiet area, bus stop in short walking distance, super friendly staff, spacious room and beds, very clean and the safe inside the room for free. Actually, there IS a pool, even though it doesn't say in the description. So, sadly, we didn't bring swimming attire :-(
Deducted points for • loose charging plugs (the cable keeps coming out, so the device wouldn't charge) • door of shower wouldn't close properly, so water floods into the bathroom • no chairs on the balcony • no water kettle to boil water for tea

The receptionist and security were great help.
A complimentary breakfast and a fitness area would have made the stay better.

Great place to stay, but if booking more then one room you will not be near each other
ALL STAFF Was extremely helpful. they had refrigerated items that you could purchase 24 hours. Location was good.
We booked several months in advance for two king room and when we booked they where pretty will opened in the booking area but we where given rooms on different floors. and said that they couldn't get two rooms near each other .
