Contempra Inn

This motel is special: I’m a motel fan and it is the first motel I’ve ever see that goes with an elevator! it gave me both a surprise and delight that I could easily carry my luggage to the second floor. You can tell the owner knows how to do business: it’s TV is even larger than the one I lived in downtown NOLA—and most important of all, the TV is working very well. Before switching to this motel, I lived in Aloft New Orleans Downtown for 3 nights, with nightly rate above $200, yet I felt quite inconvenient because Aloft lacked this and that. So really, amenities can be new or old, but the sense of the owner to invest in essentials to provide convenience does not necessarily mean that these things have to be “fancy” (but useless). While I wouldn’t say the level of cleanliness was also super—it was ok (though the blankets could have been nicer)—but overall in the world of motels, this one makes me feel that the owner does intend to offer you some needed service.

My room was extremely clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful! Will definitely stay here again!

Great staff but outdated. The staff was super friendly and nice. They are the reason for a better rating. The Inn was outdated and seemed dirty. The comforter and sheets had stains. The tables and chairs reminded me of outdoor furniture. There was a plastic lawn chair in the bathroom; weird.
