i just checked into the hotel monteleon
in new orleans uh i chose to stay here
because one it's a historic hotel and
two because it's close to a lot of the
locations that i wanted to go to with my
dog kuma so three is pet friendly so i
tend to choose hotels that are pet
friendly usually because i'm always
traveling with my dog or most of the
time if i can it's a little bit more
expensive but not too bad the only thing
that's way more expensive is the pet fee
it's a hundred fifty dollars well it's
actually a hundred dollars and then it's
25 dollars per night you stay here with
your pet so since i'm staying here for
two nights it's going to be 150
but they do give you a nice pet package
so online it says the monty's pet
package
includes a pet mat bowls a chew toy a
bag of treats
gourmet treats
waste bags and a brochure of pet
friendly attraction in the city
i got most of those i but i did not get
a pet mat
or
gourmet treats but i did get
a nice toy for kuma so this is what kuma
got so it came in this nice bag it was
already uh ready for me when i checked
in
and it came with
this nice dog toy
and this is pretty heavy duty i like it
and
a waist bag
dispenser
and waist bags in there which i really
appreciated this because i actually
wanted something like this and also a
dog bowl is what they provided right
there with their logo on it i did want
to stay on a higher floor
but i guess they put all the pets on the
same floor so i'm on the third floor in
room 376. i'm not very happy with the
location of this room
because i'm just hearing music like
constantly and it's not even from
bourbon street or anything this uh my
window is facing the street
that where i came in from the front of
the hotel
um so it's on royal street when i first
came in the room there was music playing
and i thought it was just
music coming from you know like the
ceiling speakers or something so i was
trying to find something like a device
to turn it off like a remote
and it turned on the tv instead so i was
like wait a second is that coming from
outside
so yeah this music i don't know if you
can hear it but it's coming from outside
i'll show you
so that guy
[Music]
has been playing non-stop since i got
here it's probably been
at least 30 minutes maybe an hour
and it's very very clear
so i didn't want to deal with that music
i wasn't sure how long he was going to
be out there i went downstairs to see if
they could switch my room and they said
that they only had two rooms one room
had no view and the other room was on
the other end but he made it sound like
it wasn't that great or would be the
same so
i asked if i could go check it out
uh he said they usually don't do that
but he allowed at this time because of
cove at times they said they don't
really like to do that but
he was nice enough and let me check out
the room real quick so that was room 355
and one it was a lot smaller well maybe
not a lot but i definitely noticed that
it was a smaller room and it was dark
plus it was still facing the same side
of the street i didn't hear the noise
anymore or that guy playing the music
but
uh
yeah it was just it was kind of it
looked dingy and dark to me so i was
like okay
you know what i'm just gonna deal with
the music and just hope
that he goes away by night i mean that's
really the you know thing is i need to
sleep at night he did assure me that
nobody has complained before about this
room regarding noise so i'm just
crossing my fingers that he leaves
before
i don't know
eight o'clock at night it's a little bit
about this hotel it is a historic hotel
from
1886 so it's been in the family for
generations
um it's also known for to have the
famous carol sylvar which i think they
created in the 1950s or early night or
late 1940s but it's this famous carousel
bar that you kind of might have seen in
instagram pictures but the bar actually
rotates and it looks like a carousel i'm
hoping i could sit at the bar but i
don't know because i've heard that it
gets busy and sometimes it's hard to
grab a spot at the bar because there's
only you know a few spots there that you
can grab there's also an on-site
restaurant here as well
they're known for
excellent brunch so i'm hoping to check
that out as well oh and this hotel is
supposed to be haunted
supposedly on the 14th floor
there has been some ghost action
i don't necessarily believe in ghosts
but i do think it's fun that it's
haunted i might go check out the 14th
floor later and see what it's like also
when you go on the elevator the 13th
floor is missing so it goes from 12 to
14 15 15 is the highest floor um
apparently back in the day 13 was
unlucky so they just took it out and
this hotel also has a pool a rooftop
pool so i might go check that out might
be a little bit cold to go in actually
maybe not that bad it's actually in the
70s so it's pretty warm so yeah in
january you can probably even go into
the pool okay so let me give you a tour
of my room all right i'm going to start
from the hallway
so
this is what the hallway looks like
very classic
i'm in room 376
and go in here
and to the left is the bathroom so let's
see what they have so they have
toiletries by gilchrist and somes i hope
i'm pronouncing that right i'm not
really sure um gnds i'll just say jandis
so they got lotion
what's back here in boxes um a shower
cap
and
hand sanitizer
what else
vanity
pack kit has some more toiletries up
here a decent
looking shower and tub some towels up
there
i actually don't like this curtain i
don't like the design of it at all it
reminds me of i don't know
a retired home or something
across from the bathroom is a closet
so there's an iron and ironing board
there's two robes
extra blankets
uh toilet paper tissue paper
hangers umbrella
and then that's my stuff down there that
i'm storing i'll probably put the rest
of my stuff in there later over here is
a keurig machine and they have some
to-go cups
a phone that's my stuff right there
some outlets and usb plugs as well on
the other side is a nightstand
geez this door almost fell out
okay
is that a nice
antique looking mirror
right next to that is the tv
a digital safe
ice bucket and then underneath
they have a fridge
with some free water and um
the
man that helped me get my luggage up
here he said those two are free and
he asked if i wanted any additional and
i said oh no right now but i might get
some later
and here's some storage space
and then this is where all my luggage is
i'm gonna put put it all there for right
now and then over here is a sitting area
with a lamp
and of course this is the view with
that loud man down there
still there still loud and there's miss
kuma enjoying the bed
she was already sleeping on it right but
the bed looks very comfy this is a
standard king room so i have a king size
bed
uh with four
five pillows i actually like these
pillows with this symbol on there so
that's about it for the room tour i do
hope that man goes away it's my only
complete right now
everything else the front desk they were
very professional and courteous
and even when i checked in uh it's valet
parking here so it's 50 a night to park
they park it in a garage yes that's very
expensive
but it's new orleans so all the hotels
around here charge around fifty dollars
a night for parking the pla the only
place that i saw that charged less was
the drury and suites
which was thirty five dollars a night i
believe but the only reason why i didn't
book that hotel was because i wasn't
able to cancel i usually like to book
hotels where i'm able to cancel at least
you know two days beforehand because
i'm not always sure my plans are gonna
go through so i want that flexibility so
yeah i will report back
with how my stay went
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
since i have some time right now i would
just go ahead and check out that haunted
14th floor
let's go see kuma's gonna come with for
protection
okay let's go
as you can see
there is no 13.
kuma this is going to be haunted okay
so
what do you think kuma
anything suspicious
i mean it is like
four o'clock in the afternoon so it's
not that scary
anything in there
oh it's cold in here
very cold
but that's probably just air
conditioning
these look like special rooms okay let's
go
nope you want to go over here
oh this is a sweet
fj monteleone suite
all right let's go back okay
where are you running to
all right you ready let's go downstairs
okay okay
you're not you're not afraid of anything
nope so that was fun just a
little adventure okay
so the thing about this hotel is that
there is no grassy area and the closest
place is waldenberg park which is like
four blocks away
so we're trying to make it i mean she
usually holds it in but wow
kind of a long walk to relieve yourself
i'm sorry baby
this little patch of grass or not even
grass like weeds here
she was circling it's like should i go
there but she didn't okay so we're
almost there
okay almost there baby
yeah we didn't make it
she had to go right here
and that's a long walk from the hotel
yeah so if you keep going straight that
hits the park but that is a way too long
of a walk sorry girl we gotta find some
other areas like this for you
so i did find a closer location this is
the bienville place there's a statue of
the founder of new orleans from 1717 and
there's a patch across here
it's about a five minute walk from hotel
monteleone
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
so overall i did like my stay here i
felt like vip every time i walked
through the doors somebody would open
the door for me and kuma also the
doorman the one that greeted me when i
came in and helped me with my luggage
he remembered my name so i dressed me by
my name and kuma's name i was so
impressed like i did not expect him to
remember kuma's name too like old school
service you know what they used to do at
luxury hotels so i did really appreciate
that the hotel is just gorgeous i mean
the lobby area with the chandeliers the
bar area you know with the carousel bar
is very cool but the only thing is if
you want to get a seat there good luck i
mean there are people waiting for it
because they just want to sit there i
mean i was thinking about waiting for it
but i was like you know what i saw it
it's cool i don't need to sit at the bar
so
um there is another bar across the room
and i just sat there and there's plenty
of seating in that area and then i
enjoyed some live music last night which
was awesome they were a great band
actually all the bands that i've seen
around here that play on the streets or
at restaurants they're excellent they
just sound so great but you know that's
what new orleans is known for is the
music i also had the best sleep last
night i mean i heard no noise the bed
was so comfortable when i woke up this
morning i was surprised that i slept for
over eight hours i never do that
definitely had some great sleep last
night and there was no noise which i was
so thankful for because i was scared
about that guy that was out my window
blasting his speakers and then right
after that there was another band that
came and started like playing loud music
but they were all gone by the time it
was like 8pm the downside is the pet
relief area for dogs if your dog likes
to leave themselves in grass like my
baby you're gonna have to walk a few
blocks before you reach it i also don't
like that it has to all be valet but
this is with a lot of the hotels that
are in downtown areas like this they
have to get carry the luggage for you
and
i just had to wait for the car i don't
know it's just like a little bit of a
hassle for me so another downside was
the
size of the counter area of this
bathroom sink i quickly learned that i
didn't have too much room so i kind of
had to move some things around like they
had some cups there and i had to move
that into the room so i can create more
space for my stuff i'm not the end of
the world but just to let you know but i
mean overall i did really enjoy my stay
here the location is great you're you
know pretty much in the middle of french
quarter but not too close so you're not
in all the midst of all that noise and
ruckus of course the service was awesome
and
again i had a great night's rest so i
hope this review helped you out if it
