    The property was very beautiful and uniquely decorated. The room was spacious and clean and the location was walkable to various bars and restaurants. This was a beautiful part of New Orleans that we had never explored before and we will definitely stay there again.

    Location!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    We were not familiar with the section of New Orleans where the Inn is located BUT the notebook on our suite's coffee table led to the discovery of two fantastic restaurants: Galaxie Tacos & Elizabeth's. Really enjoyed the abundant parking right in front of the Inn, the roominess of our suite, and the very comfortable bed.

    For us, this was perfect. We love the neighborhood and had absolutely no complaints. If you don't like the sound of freight trains, a train comes through a couple of times per night, but we found it charming.

    Really unique property in a great location. Huge, creatively decorated suite. Cozy courtyard area with pool, hot tub, and cabana. Gracious and friendly hosts. What a great spot!

    The space was gorgeous! Tropical landscaping, and intentional touches everywhere. The room was spacious and embodied the essence of New Orleans. Staff was wonderful. Whenever I visit New Orleans this will be THE place I stay. Not applicable

    We loved everything about The Lookout. Away from everything in the Quarter, but lots of cool bars, restaurants and a top notch brewery steps from our room. The peace and quiet was worth the price alone.

  • Engine customer Apr 2024

    I loved the themed rooms. Then atmosphere was calm and peaceful. I loved the hot tub and the pool. My daughter and I had a great experience

    Superb

  • Engine customer Nov 2023

    I was totally impressed with my stay here and the reviews are spot on. Everything from the cleanliness, accommodation, privacy and more. The host was very friendly and helpful and would highly recommend the look out inn for great vibes. Most definitely a hidden gem that’s only 10 mins from the French quarters.

    The property was really well kept and very affordable. The rooms were a little dusty.

    Everything was great

  • Engine customer Jul 2023

    The themed room was very interesting and had cool memorabilia. The spa/pool area was nice and relaxing. Check in was easy and owner was really friendly. Comfortable stay for the most part. The room was extremely warm right after checking in. The cleanliness of the room could have been a little better. Fridge needed extra cleaning and the shower curtain was in need of replacing. The coffee pot was in need of an upgrade. No microwave in the room. The TV was extremely small and located so we couldn't watch TV in bed. Wife didn't care for the bed, and I didn't care for the pillows. We were warned about the train via the reviews prior to booking but it was still much louder than we expected. Felt the building shake a few times. I would recommend requesting what suite you want if it's available. For some reason we got switched into the Elvis suite last minute and we're not really big into Elvis. Would have preferred one of the other rooms just as personal preference.
