My partner and I first started staying at Brent House during our visits to NOLA as he is familiar with the hotel. He previously stayed there for months long-term when he received his liver transplant from Ochsner many years ago. I was so pleasantly surprised to find what a lovely hotel Brent House is independent of the Oschner connection - although it is incredibly convenient when we travel to stay for follow up appointments. We also stay at Brent House now when we visit NOLA just for fun. We travel often and I believe we’ve stayed at Brent House together ~8 times at this point? We’ve also stayed at a good handful of numerous other hotels out near the airport and also right in the city with a variety of results - terrible to okay. But Brent House is reliably fantastic so we don’t even bother trying other hotels anymore. The staff is OUTSTANDING, the hotel is clean and well kept, large clean rooms with amenities, free safe parking in an attached garage, DIY laundry room!, convenience stores, a pharmacy, PJs Coffee, food options, and shops just in the atrium. Drive from/to the airport is maybe 10 mins off hours and 15 mins during the day - fantastic. At this point, we don’t even consider other hotel options anymore even if the trip is purely for fun and we are planning to do things in the city. I don’t mind a little drive because the hotel is such a gem. We can count on Brent House to provide a quality stay for a rational amount of money and the staff is always outstanding. I can’t be bothered to possibly inconvenience myself with surprise nonsense at another hotel just to be a little closer to downtown or the Quarter. Also, as an executive, the business amenities I’ve encountered are excellent. The WiFi is very reliable - I can even Zoom without incident, which is SO rare! - and the WiFi works across the whole entire campus so I can walk around and just randomly sit down and whip out my laptop for an ad-hoc meeting need be. 10 stars for Brent House and a loyal customer for life. Thank you all so much for making both our medical & leisure stays such a pleasure!
