Good conference hotel

Overall it was a good position for the conference a short work to the convention area. Staff very helpful. Room was a little noisy for me with the constant drone of the air conditioning unit. Restaurant and bar very good excellent food.

Very pleasant place

I was very happy with this hotel. Stayed there for a conference. It is in walking distance to the French Quarter and the Convention Center. The rooms are a bit small, but equipped with all you need and nicely set-up. Staff is very welcoming and nice, and they have a great breakfast

Great place; super streetcar access to Canal/Bourbon St.

Really liked the modern renovation which was done well, smooth plaster work, professionally painted, decorated w/ nice touches if you like modern, but also some old paintings. Staff were top notch, friendly & effortful like they were personally invested in the success of the hotel & customer satisfaction. hard to find employees like that! Neat parrot in lobby. I was on 9th floor w/ decent view. Street cars go right up to the circle the hotel is on - VERY convenient ($1.25 trip / $3 all day, but best deal is to buy a week or 5 day pass I think at the drug stores (not available on streetcar). Cars are 1800s I'm told, stilll running. Stop on Canal (Main drag) right near start of Bourbon St. FEATHER beds are nice too!

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

The Palace Cafe on Canal, near St. Charles intersection was great, sort of upscale old Diner motif, but very good staff, food, atmosphere. Great import beers for sale individually, etc. at good price on Decatur. Frenchman St. has nightlife, & is less "college drunks", more locals probably, but fewer restaurants than Bourbon/Canal

New Orleans Modern

Nice Hotel, I didnt like my credid card going to the back. They do this because of little space for a real front desk. The self park is 3 blocks away. You would think a deal could be cut with the lot behind the hotel. Other than that Nice Hotel.

Great Experience Overall

Great experience. The staff was very helpful with recommendations to restaurants and activities. They went above and beyond on personal service. The hotel has a very non-traditional approach to check-in/ check-out procedure. There really isn't a front desk but the staff are always around to answer any questions or help in any way. The one thing I didn't like was that the air conditioning in the room is motion detection activated. So at night while you are still it turns off and can get warm rather quickly. You wake up hot and have to wave an arm or a leg to turn it back on. It is very energy conscious but inefficient cooling system.
