This was a hotel that was in dangerous place in the city. Outside you wouldn’t want to be walking alone. The hotel room had mold in the shower, an almost broken lock and lifting flooring in the bathroom. For a Marriott it was not what I expected. Definitely wouldn’t stay again.

I didn't like a room facing a parking structure, felt like I was in a cave. Getting to my room was like a maze. It seemed old and room was small. It was fine for one night. Girl at front desk was really sweet that checked me in.

Booked a room with a city view and got a room with no windows. Tried calling multiple times before checkin to let them know we’d be coming a bit later than normal and no one picked up. Guy at the desk wasn’t helpful at all not listening to us or answering any of our questions. The rooms with no windows literally feels like you’re stuck in a closet.

This hotel is in a great spot. Hotel in good shape and room was fine. That’s where the good end. Front desk was terrible. Never invoiced me for my stay. Charged me for breakfast that was included in stay. So contacted hotel. No help. Contacted hotel.com also no help. Customer service failure on all parties. Feeling burned.

I enjoyed my stay, it was my first-time visiting New Orleans I took my boyfriend for his birthday, his first-time also. The staff was truly welcoming, friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left. I would stay at the AC again
