    Beware if you are staying at this nice 13 room cozy hotel. They rent their pool out to anyone with $45 dollars for the day. Our experience was pool experience was ruined by loud, classless people, who were there to have their own good time at the expens of hotel guests. I would never go back.

    Can’t say enough good things about this property!! Beautifully decorated, attentive and friendly staff, comfortable beds and spacious rooms with plenty of bathroom space. And the AC is freezing! Only downside was the pool seating—they offer day passes and the chairs go very quickly.

    Cleanliness: 10/10 Front Desk: 10/10 – Taylor and the entire staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming. The Blackbird is a beautifully decorated boutique hotel with just 13 rooms, two bars, a café, and a small pool, creating a charming and intimate atmosphere. The only downside was being awakened by loud drilling outside our room at 7:56 a.m. on June 25. The manager apologized and addressed the issue promptly. While I understand that maintenance is necessary, scheduling noisy work after 10:00 a.m. would be more considerate of guests. The hotel is best suited for adults, couples, and solo travelers rather than families with young children. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely stay at the Blackbird again.

    Staff not friendly. Property well maintained. Maybe I am not used to southern hospitality. ???

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The scenery here is absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere is fantastic! I had such a great time and will definitely be back. The staff was outstanding as well.

    Incredible place feels extremely magical to be there

    Pro - nice room and decor. Con - Lady at check in was just rude. Con - you park on the street. Con - the street is very busy all day and night. And on a lot of occasions people are driving very fast. Big con - we never got to use the beautiful salt water pool. Friday we got back around 5 after being in the heat all day. The pool was absolutely packed. Saturday we got back at 1, just to use the pool and there was 12 people in the pool, 9 people lounging around. We left, came back at 3:00 and there was 19 people in the pool, and 7 lounging around. Now keep in mind this pool is not very big. The hotel only has 13 rooms. The hotel sales pool day and weekend passes, so that prevents the people that stay there from getting to use the pool. I will NEVER stay here again!

    Such a lovely hotel, small and quiet. Everything was very well maintained and the staff were so nice. The pool and surrounding landscaping was beautiful and a great place to swim and relax. Would definitely stay again!

    The property itself is beautiful. Very thoughtfully designed with gorgeous grounds and beautiful interiors. The cocktails were excellent, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and accommodating. We also appreciated how quickly staff responded when we asked for a small table for the bathroom. For the price point, the hotel lacked many amenities we’d expect from a full-service hotel. There was no room service, no minibar, and no breakfast options (other than basic muffins and bagels in the adjoining cafe during limited morning hours). Our room (101) was also super small which is normally fine, but there was nowhere to sit besides the bed and zero bathroom counter or storage space was an issue for me since I travel with lots of toiletries.

    Awesome stay! Clean stylish spacious room! Comfy bed, and friendly staff

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We fully enjoyed having a drink out on the patio area right after we checked in and staying up late at the bar and talking to the guy who managed the property. We found out he grew up around San Jose which is close to us. He really made our first night so enjoyable. Our room was beautiful, very clean and quiet. We really loved the pool and the food at the bar by the pool. It was so nice that there was a café on the property also and it was within walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. I wish we could have stayed longer.

    The room was beautiful and very comfortable! Air conditioning was working well. The bar cart and fridge were stocked though we did not use anything from it. The bar and staff were wonderful.

    Beautiful hotel but you’ll quickly realize how unorganized it is. Also our SHARED balcony door didn’t have a lock, and the bathroom door didn’t close. We had to wait around not once but twice when we tried to check in. When we finally checked in there was no one behind the desk and we had to wait for the next staff member to come into work.. apparently it was the persons last day and she left earlier than she was supposed to and didn’t even tell anyone. There was also a couple waiting with us to check in who also tried to come in early that day to leave their bags but there was no one to be found so they had to lug their suitcases with them for hours. When we went to check out we told staff what was wrong with our room and about our experience the day prior and she seems to give us the impression that she is used to hearing complaints like this that’s nothing new. It’s such a shame because the property itself if sooo pretty and aesthetic but making sure that rooms are SAFE should be more important than the looks. ESPECIALLY AT THAT PRICE POINT.

    Air conditioning effective. The whole facility was immaculate. Staff was friendly and helpful. The drinks at the bar were amazing. Guest get free drip coffee which was not bad. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. My husband wanted to take them home.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Friendly helpful staff, loved the property and personal touches (the chocolate and the note in the room). Rooms definitely need a little tlc, chipped paint, cracked blinds, just showing some wear. Room could use a fridge/microwave/coffee pot. Overall the property was decorated beautifully and it was a short walk to public transport or easy uber pickup. Would definitely stay again.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The room is very comfortable and big The vibe when you get into the hotel is not what to expect for a so expensive price of the hotel

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Everything was good. Our room was above the lobby/bar and it was a bit loud until 11pm, but it felt expected. No worries.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Lovely property in a quiet part of town. Short walk to the trolley. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and charming. Definitely recommended. Would book my New Orleans stay here again.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Beautiful hotel with wonderful service

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Excellent location a moderate walk from downtown and the French Quarter. The room was clean and comfortable and the pool area is a lovely oasis. The only shortcoming was the lack of a coffee maker in the room, but I'll bring my own next time we stay there.
