Star Service "Popular with budgeting business folk and cash-conscious tourists, this restored four- and five-story town-house-hotel with fine filigree sits on a corner and rings a serene courtyard." Full review
Gayot "The front-desk staff is friendly and well-informed. The bottom line: While not trendy, Hotel Ste. Marie is reliable and the price is right."

"The St Marie was built to look historic from the outside, but is up-to-date on the inside." Full review
Independent "At Hotel St. Marie, the best rooms even offer access to your own private, wrought-iron balcony overlooking the street. These are highly sought after during Mardi Gras."
