Club La Pension

We stayed here in October 09. We had a totally refurbished 1 bedroom with brand new everything. The appliances were full size and it had a great kitchen. The staff were very helpful and the location was superb right in the French Quarter close to Canal St The rooftop patio with hottub was fairly large and comfortable with loungers and patio tables. There was coffee and tea service in the lobby in the mornings.

The only annoyance was the expensive internet connection which cost $30 per week. At least it worked well.

This is our second trip to New Orleans in two years. The evidence of Katrina in the French Quarter is virtually gone with virtually all of the hotels and businesses open and busy. The food and music are great. The Saints are winning and the atmosphere is enthusiastic. We will be back next year.

You could put a mattress in a refrigerator box in this location and it would get 2-1/2 stars!

We stayed in a corner 1 BR unit with one side facing Canal Street, another side overlooking the Marriott's taxi stand. Between street noises and the near-constant "talk" at the taxi stand, there weren't many quiet moments. But, if you want quiet, go to the mountains.

Club La Pension has been pieced together from three or four "one of a kind" buildings in a city full of "one of a kind" buildings. It is far from a cookie-cutter condo. It is quirky, but lovable.

Unloading and check-in were difficult on Friday night in a crowded area. Lots of traffic, parking spots in front of the resort were full, one luggage cart, tired people, horns honking, etc. We parked in a commercial lot ($20/day) three blocks away, never used the car until we were ready to leave. Unless you will be day-tripping, I recommend flying.

The mattress was too soft by a lot. Some cable TV channels had a loud hum, drowning out the programming. There's no hi-speed internet access -- had to dial-in using the only phone, which was in the bedroom. (New Orleans supposedly wired the French Quarter after Katrina but I couldn't detect it. Two WiFi nets at the adjacent Marriott were detectable and my laptop said I was connected but I was never able to do anything. CLP staff said no one else could either.) There were a few houskeeping and maintenance issues that, if taken care of, would support a five star rating. All these are things you can get along with. This is a great facility in a fabulous location. I'm happy to be an owner.

Loved it for the location/staff was helpful and friendly

Stay here Feb/07 and would recommend this resort to anyone wanting a helpful staff that goes above and beyond any resort I have been to.(especially Pierre)

The room was a two bedroom with one and a half bath with large living room area and smaller kitchen, but who is eating in the room with all the great food within walking distance. The resort is older but hey it is the French Quarter isn’t everything older there and would not want it to look new, if I did I would go to a hotel.

There is a great restaurant and bar on site. They also give you a key to get in after hours, so not just anyone can walk in.

Go to this resort expecting great service and a nice room and you will not be disappointed. I am looking into buying a week in the French Quarter because of the great time I had, and Club La Pension will be on the top of the list.

Very nice resort, central location, has a excellent resteraunt rated at 5 stars. Staff is knowledgable and helpful. will definitley stay there again.
