Disappointment

We had a reservation for a King in the Enclave. With VIP access it should have included a complimentary bottle of wine, late check out, etc. We we arrived we were directed to the Vendue building for check in saying our room had been moved. Why ?? Could this be a result of a 3rd party booking? -- AND the fact evelavtor in the main building was out of service during our entire stay. We had to walk up & down to our 3rd floor room. We were not offered any compensation for the inconvenince -- not even a drink or food credit at the bar. The staff is very friendly -- but did not express any concern about the inconvenience. We have stayed at the Vendue/Enclave may times and were most disappointed.

Lobby is beautiful and artwork is creative and funky. Rooftop bar was nice, bartender was great and food was good. The room well nice did have a musty smell to it and cleanliness was subpar.

Fantastic service, very accommodating staff. Our room did not have a window, which I preferred since it minimized street noise and I wasn’t woken up by the sun.

For the amount of money we paid, this was less than satisfactory, definitely not 5 stars. To begin, do not say breakfast is included when it is nothing more than a Pillbury croissant and a mini muffin. In addition, not everyone can bite into an apple: some need knives. I had to ask twice to get one. Why not use Revival to serve breakfast? What are your amenities? A five star hotel has a pool, gym and or sauna. The one asset was the roof top bar and a tour of your nouveau art and location. Art is not everyone’s choice. Hugely disappointing. No, we will not recommend the Vendue.

Perfect L

The Vendue is perfectly located in the French Quarter. Everything from the park, water taxi, shops, food, market, King Street, etc. were all accessible by foot. Not to mention the Rooftop at the Vendue was one of the best rooftop views of all the restaurants we visited. The staff was friendly and the room was great. Will highly recommend to friends and family.

The Vendue was a great place to stay for our overnight trip to Charleston. The location was steps away from the riverfront and plenty of restaurants. The valet was kind enough to let us park our motorcycle in front of the hotel overnight. The hotel also had a large walkthrough art display on its ground floor. The only slight downside was that the bathrooms are pretty small and it’s a bit of a sliding puzzle to get the door closed. Otherwise, it was perfect! Highly recommend

The hotel is quirky in a fun way. The art is loud and intense (and objectively bad, but still creates an uplifting atmosphere). The biggest issue is the staff. They were disorganized with checkin and sent me back and forth from their main hotel and their annex across the street. Then, at 1130pm the hotel decided to power wash their oven hoods. In the alley below my 2nd floor window. For 2 hours. The generator turning on and off, on and off. It was very loud and no sleep was happening. The phones in the room don’t function well, but I was eventually able to speak to the front desk, who confirmed what was happening. When I asked why they were doing it when people were trying to sleep, they said “well we had to do it when the restaurant was closed.” And when I asked why they were washing restaurant equipment in a back alley, there was no response. In the morning I learned that a lot of people had the same issue and there was yelling in the lobby. It’s just really careless for a hotel that costs this much.
