This hotel is well kept and has very friendly staff. Location is no too close to the airport but it's pretty close to downtown. The breakfast buffet could be a lot better, but I've been to worse. Overall, not bad. I pretty nice place to stay when in New Orleans. More

I stay here once a month on business and it's my favorite hotel in new Orleans. The rooms are clean and people are friendly. I also like earning points when I stay as a Holiday Inn gold member. More

Lot's of things to go over with this review (I've been stewing on exactly what to say for a week or so now). First of all, I made a request via Expedia for a room that faced more towards New Orleans, but instead we got a nice view of the expressway. Our room was decent, but noisy from the highway.... More

Stayed here so I would be close to French Quarter. It is relatively close but not as close as the description. Minor issue. Parking is free and self-serve. Checkin was quick as it was already pre-done just had to verify cc. Bed was creaky but okay. Bathroom could use a refresh but shower was HOT. Nice HDTV setup with Standard... More

We didn't have any hiccups here except for a cleaning lady who was annoyed that we asked her to clean our room...LOL Desk staff were great...as was management. There were some things nearby, but not necessarily walking distance. More

The hotel is good and just across the bridge from the French Quarter. We stayed in December 2011 for 2 nights. Rooms are nice and comfortable, staff good, breakfast good. There's very little within walking distance from the hotel, so driving/taxi, is needed wherever you want to go. Taxi should be avoided as you will inevitably get ripped off, and... More

March 28, 2012 - A very uncomfortable stay. Bed sheets felt wet. The next day I went to another hotel down the street and had dry sheets. They did have a wall charger for my phone and I will give them credit for that. More

My family stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in April. The hotel is circular which obviously reflects the the shape of the room but not adversely. When checking in I found the woman at the desk not very welcoming and was talking to other staff members and answering the phone all while trying to book us in. My wife... More

I had a one night stay mid-week for a medical review nearby at the military base. The hotel was organized and clean, the rooms were immaculate and linens high quality. Not centrally located to anything you'd visit as a tourist, but a good hotel nonetheless. More
