The Blake met our needs. The room was clean. The desk help was super. Breakfast is not included, which was a good excuse to go to Cafe Du Monde. The property is right on a streetcar line. It is on Lafayette Square and is adjacent to a number of businesses. If I were single or traveling on business the Blake... More

I stayed at the Blake Hotel for 3 nights and was happy with all. The best thing was the free concert right outside my window - Trombone Shorty!!! I ate at the restaurant a few times and it was very good.

Purchased a Travelzoo deal for $79/night. This hotel is so convenient. 2 blocks away from the French quarter. About 6-7 blocks to the Superdome. Definitely walkable to a lot of the nearby attractions. The lobby is beautiful, and they offer several computers for guests to use. They also have a gym on the 11th floor with treadmills, eliptical, bike, and... More

Service was very pleasant! All requests and needs were provided for. Was happy to stay at Blake and will definitely stay again. The location was ideal to connecting with other parts of the city, especially with street cars available at the door.

I arrived early and had no problem checking in. The desk staff were polite and helpful. The welcome package in the room (water, chips and souvenir coins) were appreciated as was the handwritten welcome note from the manager. Excellent PR! Location was good. Walking distance to the French Quarter, but far enough away to be quiet. On the St Charles... More

The hotel is quite nice for the low rates they charged me (booked on their website and paid in full).The building is in the process of being renovated, but even so, the room we stayed in was nicely appointed and there were no signs of renovations on the 10th floor where the room was located.
