The Westin New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth check in, comfy bed and great location"

Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Qtr - Astor by IHG

8/10 Good

"I stated at the Crowne for the Essence Fest 2026. I did not get the room I booked and was told I was upgraded. The room was on the 13th floor and I did not find it to be and upgrade. The room was clean but it needs renovation, though it says that many were, I guess they missed the one I was in. The staff was great."

Bourbon Orleans Hotel

8/10 Good

"Upon arrival, valet was super busy so I'm glad we arrived prior to check in and the room was ready. Had to park on the road and walk back to tell valet we had been waiting about 20minutes and where the car was parked. Still had to ask for the doorman to help with a cart, not sure of they only had one but it seemed as such. Front desk ladies were both great. Over the course of our stay they both seemed to do a better job than the gentleman we encountered there. Gym and pool were nice to have and simple. The pool is beautifully decorated. A post card. The room was clean, they could do a better job with the doors and lower walls. It wasnt too bad that a good wipe down upon entering didnt fix it but it did make me wonder about the rug in the room. Daily housekeeping was great and a welcomed surprise. The balcony was also nice for the evening just too peek but if you are soft sleeper, you will want a non balcony room. There are no umbrellas available if it rains, so pack on just in case. They do sell ponchos. The road also gets blocked off at night so rideshare can be difficult but location of the hotel is excellent for walking to French Street, market, canal street, street car. I was later told this is the hotel where a popular show is filmed. I don't watch the show but my husband and daughter recognized. All in all for the area, it is a fairly maintained property and being on the edge of the quarter is helpful."

Homewood Suites by Hilton New Orleans French Quarter

8/10 Good

"Very nice place, only down side was that our room was VERY far away from the elevator. As an older couple, it was difficult to walk that entire distance several times a day. Having to pay for a valet I feel is wrong with the amount Ed the room per night rate."
