Sonesta ES Suites New Orleans Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My staff and I had a business trip to New Orleans and stayed at the ES Sonesta. It was a perfect location! We were just blocks from the main part of Canal Street, within a five minute walk. It was centrally located and the accommodations were clean and spacious. I consider it a win if I get a microwave and mini fridge so my leftovers can be eaten (especially in New Orleans!) but the suites even have cabinets with dishes, full-sized fridge, stove, dishwasher and a dining table, wow. We didn't have to use them but it was great to have. The breakfast was convenient and offered multiple options so there was something to satisfy everyone. And the staff were so helpful and nice, just real sweethearts. I would stay there again anytime. Book it!"

Le Méridien New Orleans

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was clean and in a convenient location. The hotel charges a resort fee but there are no resort amenities to justify this. Ice in only available at the front desk in pre-packaged bags and the plastic of the bag sticks to the ice cubes making some of the ice unusable for consumption. The only food service was in the bar and trying to get breakfast was a very slow process. I was in town for court so I had to abandon breakfast to ensure I arrived at the courthouse in time. The room cost, resort fee, expensive valet parking fee and limited amenities do not make this a good value in my opinion. "

InterContinental New Orleans by IHG

4/10 Poor

"The pool’s wall had a grease stain around the entire pool. I was quoted one price and was charged another. Just outside room 804, coffee had been dropped and it ran down the wall and a puddle on the floor. Never was it clean the 3 days I was there. The shower drained so slow I was always standing in an inch or so of water, thankfully I had shower shoes. The front desk was not cordial at all, seemed to always be in a hurry. I asked about retrieving my vehicle from valet parking early, 4am. One person said go talk to valets, the other said I had to call 10 minutes before I came down. I did and it still too an additional 10 minutes to get my car, even though I was the only one waiting. The furniture in lobby looks worn. At the restaurant bar I asked for just a burger. Bartender said I had to order fries and their specialty burger, I’m not sure if it was fish sticks or mozzarella cheese between the buns because I didn’t eat them or the fries."
