Alder Hotel New Orleans

Short trip for JEF + FashionatstakeWe were delighted when we checked in early and the lovely Lady that received us was kind enough to find us rooms on the same floor, each room had a balcony overlooking the pool and outdoor area.The rooms had been renovated and there was a small food-mart for essentials in the lobby and a meeting room on the first floor the laundry room was a few floors up and a small business room for office work. The former dinning area has been turned into a lounge of sorts filled with magazines a microwave oven and coffee station for thirsty guestIf you use the pool there are plenty of towels and a good number of cabana chairs to relax and in the lobby the restrooms and water fountain are convenientPrime location next to The Corner Burger Shop, Bearcat Cafe and even a large grocery store, the grocery store has an in store restaurant we got smoothies and breakfast items.

I like the Alder... a lot! I've stayed here a handful of times over the past few years and can't say enough good things about it. Most importantly: the hotel is clean, and the staff is professional and friendly. Amy, at the front desk is awesome! On our most recent stay, my wife and I were here for our daughter's graduation from Loyola. I booked four rooms for family members, and everyone was very pleased with their stay. The hotel is located next to the Oschner Medical Center. It is probably the closest proximity of any hotels for Loyola and Tulane. You are two blocks from Freret Street, which has a bunch of good restaurants. The pool is no frills, but here again, it is clean and well maintained. The hotel also provides free parking in a secure lot. Secure parking is key if you are moving a student in or out of Loyola or Tulane. They spruced the place up a few years ago, so any reviews prior to that probably aren't relevant. If you are looking for a clean hotel, good service, and reasonable rates, you should consider the Alder.

How have I not written a review for this hotel by now?I stay here. Often. It has free parking, close to the hospital that I work at when I'm in town. Clean. Always friendly. It's a great spot. I am convinced since it's attached to the hospital that are one point these were hospital rooms. I don't have proof of this but the layout is very hospital feeling. The lobby is welcoming. This isn't a chain hotel but man they are doing everything right here. Computers. A little snack area. A hangout area. Really done up well. You can control the AC in your room which is very important to me. It's not very loud but the mini fridge in the room and the AC together make enough white noise for me to get a nice sleep. This hotel is also close to freret street. You have tons of food options a 5 minute walk away. My favorite midway pizza, company burger, a Mexican place, kolachie kitchen for breakfast, and a rouces grocery store for my gallon of water. Oh and there's a sorta run down anytime fitness nearby if you're a member. Went there this trip and man they need to be redone. But another review. Stay here!

Alder Hotel is located in the Uptown New Orleans and I decided to book this hotel after doing an extensive research on the neighborhood. The location is safe and in fact Ochsner Medical Center (regionally ranked #1 in Louisiana) is located just behind the hotel.[Incidental Deposit]: A temporary hold $100 will be charged upon check in and customers must use major credit card or debit card because cash is not allowed. Hotel will release the fund upon check out.[Smoking Penalty Fee]: Smoking is not allowed in rooms, balconies, and/or stairwells or else guest will be paying $250 smoking fee. The smoking area is located outside of the courtyard.[Parking]: Complimentary self-parking is available in the parking lot directly across the street from the hotel. Do NOT park the lot right next to 4522 Magnolia St or else your cars will be towed away.[Lobby]: No complimentary breakfast, but tea and coffee are readily available.[Grab-n-Go]: Light snacks (mostly $2) and beverages (mostly $3) are available for purchase.[Check In / Check Out] Check in is 4 PM and check out is 11 AM.[Courtyard & Swimming Pool]: Available from 6 AM to 10 PM.[Business Center]: Two computers and one printer are available to use. Guests can use them to print boarding pass in advance or use them for a simple internet search in case of cellular phone runs out of battery and not able to charge.[Other Amenities]: Coin laundry is located on 9th floor and ice machine is located on 5th floor. Umbrella bags are located at the front entrance. Daily light housekeeping services (between 9 AM to 3 PM) will be provided to all in-house guests and full service cleaning will be provided to in-house guests staying 3 nights or more. Please place "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the door if guests do no wish any housekeeping services. No indoor gym and no airport shuttle service for this hotel.[Notable observations]: Always double check & give an extra push to make sure the door is completely locked because sometimes the door doesn't close completely. This is not exactly the quietest hotel as I heard loud music from a party bus parked in front of the hotel at 12 AM, annoying roosters crowing at 3 AM, and humming AC at the patio. Shower had hot water with good water pressure, but I wasn't able to completely shut the shower door and small water spill was to be expected.This is a good hotel to stay in New Orleans (safe neighborhood, free parking, hot water for shower, friendly staff, and affordable) if guests can ignore small annoying details such as no breakfast, no gym, and miscellaneous background noises.

Yep. I stayed in a hotel less than a mile from my house. I had to be out of my house for a couple of days so I opted to relax at the Alder rather than crash in with family or friends. It was definitely the right choice. The hotel was lovely. The parking was free. The AC was cold-cold. And the beds & pillows were comfy. And everything was clean! What more could I want? I also appreciated the balcony for some fresh air. Looking at my neighborhood from the 7th floor was definitely a change. Random things: I'm pretty sure my dentist office was in this building when I was a child, maybe on the 5th floor. And the pool area is way nicer than I expected! There was a pool behind this building back when it was an office building but it was not nearly as pretty.

I chose this hotel because they offered free parking. I've been coming to Nola enough over the years that I need to get around on my own to visit different spots for food and touring. Also bc it's in the restored 17th Ward. It's right next to a hospital which was fine with me. It had an "off" smell when I walked in the room but it seemed to go away once I really stepped inside. The shower and bed were both comfortable and that's what meets my criteria of travels. I would definitely stay again.

This hotel was a pretty good, inexpensive choice that was about 15 mins from all the tourist spots such as the French Quater. The rooms were clean (except the shower head), we got room service the first night we were there, and we had a balcony, even though there were no chairs or anything out there. The front desk lady at night is kind of stand-offish, and we would say hello, and she wouldn't even answer. The morning person was much more friendly. The neighborhood wasn't the best but it is next to a hospital and there was a police officer in the guest parking lot across the street every night we were there, which made us feel a lot better. We didn't really have any problems and I would use this hotel again.

Nice secret sneak hotel in the middle of a medical complex. Close to Freret action and interstate. The staff is super helpful. Rooms are big and clean. While they do not offer breakfast there is a grab and go section that has a little something for everyone. Pack a swimsuit cause it has a pool.

This is my go to hotel in New Orleans. Great location. It's safe. Spacious rooms. Clean rooms. And FREE PARKING.

Very nice hotel. Great retro decor. Friendly staff. Good location. Close to New Orleans Children's Hospital which was reason for being in NOLA.
