“Stayed here and drove to New Orleans for a spa day at The Ritz and dinner at Mr B’s Bistro then back for drinks at the property bar before bedtime. Bar staff were fun. Loved the entire property. Rooms were great and enjoyed rocking on one of the many porches. Shopping and restaurants are just a short walk away. Also great art gallery shopping. Really enjoyed freshly made bagels at Lil Market and Maison De Lu for dinner. Enjoyed the beautiful pool on our last day and dinner at their new restaurant, Maringouin. Wonderful trip!” — Michelle, 5 stars

"The Roost was a wonderful place to stay. The Lovebird suite was especially spacious and quaint with a beautiful bathroom. We loved that we could easily walk to the downtown area and enjoy shopping and fine restaurants. Can’t wait to come back!"

We stayed in the Pelican Suite, which was absolutely beautiful—spacious, thoughtfully designed, and so comfortable. The entire property has a cozy, inviting charm that makes you feel right at home. What truly made my experience exceptional, though, was the service. Hiram went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect during our stay. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our time there enjoyable. His recommendations and hospitality really elevated the whole experience. I can’t say enough good things about The Roost—it’s a hidden gem that combines comfort, character, and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends!"

The rooms were well appointed and generous is size. The location was perfect for bopping around town - everything was within a few minutes and would have been very walkable, though we rented golf carts from the hotel (great fun!)"
