The Lookout Inn is so cute. The owners put a lot of work into updating this property. The backyard was so thought out for a group of friends staying together. Pool, hot tub, garden, lounge area, snack shack. What else could a person want? I can only speak for our room, but it was very clean and imaginative.

the location wasn't the most beautiful. Lots of dilapidated homes and properties in the area but also homes that have been updated. Looks like people are trying to upgrade the area.

The lookout inn is one of the best places I have ever stayed and I travel a lot! The inn owner is extremely accommodating and very personable, she made everything very easy for us. The inn is so cute, even more amazing than the pictures. I loved the outdoor pool area with everything you could want including water and coffee! Our room was big, beautiful, and very comfortable. There are plenty of delicious eateries and parks nearby. I can’t recommend this inn enough! I will be back🙂

I loved everything!

From the first moment to the last, we were were taken care of in ways that exceeded our expectations! Kelly communicated everything we needed to know before we arrived, had a great book of things to do and eat in the Bywater neighborhood, and continued to check-in and make valuable recommendations whenever we saw her around the Inn.

The Bollywood was a fun, eclectic, and spacious room. We had not explored the Bywater neighborhood before and just expected it to be a less expensive place to sleep while we would spend most of our time in the Quarter and the Garden district. The opposite was true. we spent most of our time enjoying the Bywater restaurants and the amenities at the Lookout Inn!

The themed room was very interesting and had cool memorabilia. The spa/pool area was nice and relaxing. Check in was easy and owner was really friendly. Comfortable stay for the most part.

The room was extremely warm right after checking in. The cleanliness of the room could have been a little better. Fridge needed extra cleaning and the shower curtain was in need of replacing. The coffee pot was in need of an upgrade. No microwave in the room. The TV was extremely small and located so we couldn't watch TV in bed. Wife didn't care for the bed, and I didn't care for the pillows. We were warned about the train via the reviews prior to booking but it was still much louder than we expected. Felt the building shake a few times. I would recommend requesting what suite you want if it's available. For some reason we got switched into the Elvis suite last minute and we're not really big into Elvis. Would have preferred one of the other rooms just as personal preference.

I was totally impressed with my stay here and the reviews are spot on. Everything from the cleanliness, accommodation, privacy and more. The host was very friendly and helpful and would highly recommend the look out inn for great vibes. Most definitely a hidden gem that’s only 10 mins from the French quarters.

The property was amazing. The pool area was so cute. The house is in the Bywater next to the old naval base so travelers get a real feel for the real Nola that you might miss if you stay in other neighborhoods. The renovations kept the old world charm of the house, which I loved. The rooms are big for 2 people. We stayed in the Elvis room. I plan to book the entire house for a long weekend in late summer to use the outdoor amenities.

Only street side parking available, which is normal in Nola. Don’t leave anything of value in your car because the car jacking are bad. I didn’t experience that on this trip, just a forewarning.

The space was gorgeous! Tropical landscaping, and intentional touches everywhere. The room was spacious and embodied the essence of New Orleans. Staff was wonderful. Whenever I visit New Orleans this will be THE place I stay.

I chose this place for the neighborhood, which was fantastic. The inn itself had quirks that could be annoying - like a loud train whistle at night, squeaky shower, dim lighting in room, and thin walls. These are clearly features of an old house, but worth noting. The hot tub and pool area were really nice, though quite small.

This inn is spectacular. The pictures and descriptions cannot do proper justice. The room and outdoor area was very clean and accommodating. Our Elvis room was perfect. The decor, high ceilings, furniture, and large windows were outstanding. I’m looking forward to staying here again and again! So glad we stumbled upon this listing. Thanks Kelly!

The inn is located an appropriate distance from the more “touristy” areas, and provides a more comforting stay, but there are train tracks in very close proximity to the property. But, there is nothing you can do about that and we greatly enjoyed our stay nonetheless!

The place is beautiful, peaceful, relaxing everything I was looking for. The rooms are huge, the bathroom was nice and the price was great, couldn't ask for more really.

It wasn't really a big issue for me to be honest but I think light sleepers should probably be aware there is a train line very very close and you can hear the horns frequently. I'm not sure what time they run through the night but it was quite late. Please don't let me put you off though, our stay was great
