Great location for the money

The Omin Royal was in an excellent location. The Hotle was immaculate. However, we had some minor concerns with the room. There was broken glass on the bathroom floor as though someone had broken a glass, only it hadn't been cleaned up properly by hotel staff. We called three different times before they came to clean it the next day. Also, although neatly appointed, the room was quite small. My partner and I often foiund ourselves bumping into one another. However, we were really happy with the location. We love to walk and found that it was right smack in the middle of all the best the are had to offer.

Great Hotel!

This hotel was in the best location to enjoy Mardi Gras. Close enough to walk to all activities, yet far enough away to enjoy a bit of quiet.

Great Stay!

The hotel was very nice and we loved the balcony as it gave a little more space. Even though the rooms and bathroom are a little small, the hotel is very nice and in a great location. It was surprisingly quiet and restful for being right in the French Quarter. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We loved the rooftop pool. This is the second Omni hotel we have stayed at and both hotels were really nice. We were right down the street from Nolas, which is a wonderful restaurant. We walked everywhere, so there was no need to take a cab. It was a fun trip!

I was there for the Essence Music Fest. The location was excellent. Walking distance to everything. The room type was "petite" The room was very small, to small to even hold a cot. However it was quiet and very clean.

Omni Royal Stay in New Orleans

The Omni Royal of New Orleans is a wonderful hotel, centrally located to all my favorite places in the French Quarter. It is just 2 1/2 blocks away from Jackson Square, and many, many of my favorite restaurants. I walked everywhere! The roof top pool and fitness center was a real bonsus as was the business center down by the Rib Room. The staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly. On top of that it is a very elegant hotel.

Nice hotel, great location

They put me in a room by the elevators - so noisy I couldn't sleep most of the night. BUT they moved me the next day - no questions - and it was quiet. Great staff. Nice hotel. Great location. I'd stay there again if I could specify a room away from the elevators.

Nice place!

Everything went smoothly from and easy check in, restful nights sleep, and an even easier check out. The view overlooking the courtyard was beautiful, along with the view from the 7th floor patio area. Magnificent views of New Orleans. I attended a conference at the hotel as well and all staff catering the event were polite and accommodating.
