Girl's Getaway
The Wyndham is located in a very good spot for access to multiple sight-seeing areas. We stayed for 5 days and did not plan to rent a car, and the Wyndham's location helped make this possible. There are no real amenities in the hotel- (no pool, gym, continental breakfast, business area, etc.) so those were a little missed. The rooms were decent and comfortable, but definitely could use a serious upgrade. There are mismatching carpets, peeling wallpaper, and worn (if not broken) furniture in the rooms. The restaurant off the lobby is not very inviting and never busy. Also, the hotel provides wireless, but when linking up, the page says your room will be charged. We called the front desk and they just said to click okay, there is no charge. This was a little confusing and should have been posted for easier customer use. Overall, we had a fine stay, but will probably try something different next time.

The hotel was very quaint and clean. The room was tiny. Almost too small to turn around in.

Decent downtown accomodations
Room was very small, but comfortable. Very difficult to figure out channels on TV, no guide that I could find. Hotel is not well marked, if you drive there yourself watch CLOSELY, passed the place on first go around. Also, be prepared to pay $30 for parking. $22 if you park yourself in the city lot across the street. This price increases to $30 the night before and the night of a football game. Hotel is within easy walking distance of French Quarter!

Visiting hometown
Nice hotel, great location
Great price for downtown hotel, location not too shabby either. The price for valet is not worth it, $40 for SUV. In addition, the night valet staff is there to okay not work. It took an hour to get our vehicle pulled up because the valet guy was out driving around town with his buddy. He showed up in work uniform, in his own car with a friend and then proceeded to park another car before driving around ours. To make matters worse, before we could pull out the driveway, the valet guy pulled out with his impala to have some fun with his buddy in the car.

Last minute trip to new Orleans
at check in hotel clerk gave us 2 restaurants she recommended one for the seafood the other for the ambiance. The patio dining at oceanas was great. Food was good and easy walk to hotel. Will be staying at this hotel in the future as it is close to French Quarter but not so noisy. 2 blocks to good dining choices.

Forget valet
Imagine paying more money for parking at this hotel than paying for car rental per day. Rooms are small, an old bank building offices converted to hotel rooms. Location is good, and staff very friendly.
