The Good: It’s centrally located with a street car stop, right outside. It's an easy walk to the French Quarter. The views from the suites on the 14th and 15th floors were nice, and the business center in the hotel is free to use. The staff was friendly, and the doorman was helpful. The bed was comfortable, and a breakfast... More

This was our first time to New Orleans was not sure where to stay but wanted somewhere we could park and walk everywhere. The hotel is good for this. The first couple of blocks heading to the main area of entertainment was a little shady but once you got past them it was no problem. If you do not or... More

5/3-5/13-The Clarion was adequate and the beds were comfortable, but the bathroom was strangely small for such a big room. Slow elevators, poor water pressure- was not adequate to get all the shampoo out of our hair. Sketchy characters between hotel and the safer part of Canal street, even during the day. The Clarion is located about three blocks too... More

I was looking for budget accommodation in New Orleans, but this was a step too far. Poorly cleaned rooms, clearly had been smoked in, problems with doors and lights not working. Breakfast the only food available, self served on polystyrene plates, far worse than charter airline economy food. No real service or support, though the doorman was a great guy.... More

My son and I attended the first weekend of JazzFest in NOLA at the end of April, spending 4 nights at the Clarion. The Canal Street location was perfect for our needs. It's about 5 blocks from the French Quarter and the Canal Street Trolley stops out front, which we took to the Fairgrounds for the Festival. The room was... More

If you ever stay there, one to watch out for. During a stay (Feb.'13) I found that an extra $40 had managed to 'find' its way on to my bill. When challenged the hotel said it was 'their standard charge for parking' (sic) which, in my case wasn't applicable so would automatically be removed from my final bill, A month... More

We had two expensive bikes stolen at the Clarion by Choice Hotels in New Orleans. LaQuesha Williams, Manager on Duty, refused to help us – citing that the hotel was not responsible for stolen property in their garage. The valet who parked our car assured us repeatedly that they would be in a safe locked garage overnight. When the car... More

We stayed with our 8 and 1 year olds for 2 nights. Room was clean. Crib was provided for free. Location on canal street made for easy walking to sights and street car pickup was right outside the door. Staff at front desk was friendly and very helpful. Overall a great experience!

We recently stayed here for 1 night before leaving on a cruise. We often come to Nola and usually stay in the Quarter -Ritz, Sonesta, or Omni. We wanted to save $$ this time, so we decided to give the Clarion a try. I was skeptical after reading reviews, but this hotel blew my expectations away. The hotel is old,... More
