    Nice hotel in a great location.

    This is a great hotel in a good location right at the top of Bourbon Street. Friendly staff with clean & comfortable rooms. A little noisy at night, but hey...it's Bourbon Street.

    Fitness Center & Dining

    The fitness center was closed for renovations and it would have been helpful to know that at the time of making reservations. The dining options are limited to a fairly expensive restaurant on premises. We are accustomed to hotels which offer either a complimentary are at least reasonably priced alternative especially for breakfast.

    Affordable and comfortable

    The Crown Plaza provided comfortable rooms and the convenient location to Bourbon Street. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The concierge in the lobby was approachable and helped us with directions around the city. I especially liked the air condition unit in our room. It wasn't the vented box under the window that blows and is loud. The air conditioning unit had a punch pad to control the temperature and was very quiet. There was plenty of room in between the beds along the wall to put our luggage. I was extremely happy with our visit.

    The restuarant downstairs was to notch. Their crab legs were highly recommended by the locals and their oysters were big!

    Good location

    The Crown Plaza was in a good location. Within walking distance to The French Quarter a short drive to the garden district,uptown and city park. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was quiet. On the down side the room was much smaller than I anticipated and the t.v. was on the side of the room because there was no room in front of the beds. This made it hard to see the t.v. The workout area was closed but the property did offer the ability to work out at a gym four blocks away. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

    Good not great

    The Crown Plaza Astor, was comfortable but has some issues. for a four star hotel, you would expect the towels to be softer, and the in-room movie system to work. Also the air conditioning is on a motion sensor so if your not moving it automatically turns itself off. But the location is great if you wanna be close to Bourbon street and the French Quarter in a luxury atmoshere.

    Great Location in the heart of New Orleans

    The Crowne Plaza Astor Hotel is New Orleans was very spacious and comfortable. I felt very much at home there as the staff was all very helpful and kind. The beds were the most comfortable beds, I didn't want to get up. They would help you find good dining, shopping and tourist attractions. The Hotel has an excellent Steak House right there and anything else you would need. It is also within walking distance to all the sites, shopping, dining and French Quarter. It is fairly close to the River Walk and the Casino too. It had a ATM right there for easy access. I would stay at this hotel everytime I come to New Orleans in the future and I have stayed in that city at least 28-30 times.

    Great location, Bourbon and Canal

    The Crowne Plaza was a nice hotel, right there on Canal at the corner of Bourbon, so everything was very convenient. The hotel was undergoing some renovations, but we did not experience anything negative because of it. The CP properties are the ones where being a Priority Club member really helps. We had access to the lounge with free made to order breakfast, as well as cocktails during happy hour!

    Near everything

    The Crowne Plaza Hotel Astor was very comfortable. It is located walking distance to most sites including Jackson Square. You have to valet park on check-in, so that was somewhat of a hassle. The staff was promp and courteous. I wouild recommend this hotel to anyone.

    Super comfortable

    The Crowne Plaza Astor was extremely comfortable, every kind of pillow you could wish for! It's located right on the edge of the French Quarter. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious (try their unique oyster dish - Oysters Fonseca). I will definitely stay there again given the opportunity.
