This hotel scammed us. We were asked to provide a credit card at check-in for the deposit. After we checked out, there was a charge on our credit card from AC Hotel for the room, which was already pre-paid through Orbitz. We contacted the hotel many times to get our refund for the incorrect charge, but no one we spoke with could resolve the itself. The first person we spoke with said they would put a ticket in for the refund and it would be refunded to us in 5-7 business days. We did not get our refund after the indicated amount of time so we called again; at which time, we were told that they do not see any history of any refund being initiated and they would submit another ticket. We called a 3rd time after a couple of days to check on the status and were told to contact Orbitz (we did and that led no where since Orbitz is not the one who incorrectly charged us). I called again today and was told to call back tomorrow morning speak to a manager. There has been no attempt by AC Hotel to resolve this issue. Needless to say, I would not stay here again given the time and effort we have spent in trying to get our refund for an incorrect charge that was an error on the hotel’s part. Save yourself the headache and from possibly getting scammed, DO NOT STAY HERE. There are plenty of other 4-star hotels in the area that are not as scummy or shady.

The hotel has many areas for improvement. The shower water almost entirely spilled out, forming a pool of water. The showerhead on the ceiling barely flowed, so we had to use the handheld showerhead. The room needs better lighting. I felt like I was in a bunker because of the darkness. The air conditioning thermostat didn't work properly. I wouldn't return.

Our room was dirty, the shower hadn’t been cleaned, and the elevator got stuck during our stay. I was also charged twice for a one-night stay. I called the property several times and never received a callback. I eventually had to contact my bank to dispute the duplicate charge and get my money back. Very disappointing experience.

Stay elsewhere. I booked another hotel the same night I checked-in and checked out of this hotel the following morning due to the unwelcoming reception by hotel staff at check-in and the room quality: Check-in: I booked this hotel because it is advertised as pet friendly. I frequently travel with my pets. Upon arriving I was immediately greeted with attitude from a staff member because my dog barked twice. He had an attitude for the remainder of check-in and I felt like he did not want to check me in. He also made it clear that the convention guests were his priority. I have never been spoken down to like that at any hotel as a paying customer being charged $500 in pet fees to stay at a “pet-friendly” hotel. After 5 hours of traveling I did not feel like arguing with someone within 2 minutes of meeting them. FYI:Pet fees are $50 per pet, per night. Not per stay, per pet. Room quality: The hotel room was pitch black upon entering. I struggled to find the 3 available lights in the room. The window faced a wall so there was no natural sunlight. The TV mounted on the wall with wires hanging down did not fully work because the remote control’s arrow buttons did not work. There were noises with the neighboring garage (window) and hallways all night long. Overall, the room felt very hospital like. Hotel common areas: The elevator and hallway floors were dirty. The lobby smells damp and humid. Only one functioning elevator. Outside hotel: the area is not the safest at night.

Literally on the same street as Bourbon, just on the other side of Canal. Conveniently located right next to Brothers so I walked there everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day for fried chicken, water, coffee, protein drinks, and liquor so that was a major plus. Brothers is open 24 hours so you can always go there and get whatever you may need. Hotel is a little dated but still awesome. Room was clean and the happy hour was decent. The first day during happy hour I bought 3 shots and a beer for like 17 dollars plus tip. The next day I bought the same thing during HH and the bartender said it would be 28 dollars. I was like that was not the price yesterday and then she honored the price I had the previous day. It was 2 different bartenders on both days so I don’t know what was going on but it worked out. I was charged 56 bucks and some change for valet for one day but I didn’t even have a car. I asked them about a refund and they processed it on the 6th but I still haven’t gotten it. I called today again asking about it and the lady was rude and asking me to contact my bank. So I would say just be careful about them charging you for valet. Overall it was a great stay and I would stay there again but I guess I would have to watch my bank account each day to make sure there’s no extra charges.
