I literally checked out of this hotel this morning. I traveled to New Orleans July 4th weekend for essence and staying here was a 10/10 experience. First I want to start with the location. The convention center was a short walk from the hotel which made it perfect for multiple trips if necessary, there is an abundance of restaurants and shops in walking distance. bourbon st and the French quarter is like 6mins and the super dome is relatively close too. As far as the hotel itself, I had zero complaints about the layout and customer service. My flight was delayed by a lot and Marvin made sure my room was secured when I spoke to him over the phone. His hospitality is unmatched. There was another lady that I absolutely love but I failed to get her name. She was so caring and accommodating when I arrived at 2am *God bless her*. At check in, and I don’t know if this happens depending on the type of room you book, I was given breakfast buffet tickets, one for each day and 2 drink tickets each night I was there. Please note, I don’t know if this is per person or not, I was alone don’t go in this fine establishment fussing about what I said 😝. I had the breakfast once and the food was decent. I wanted a made to order omelette but the line was long, which is to be expected for several reasons. Regretfully, I did not make it to the bar as those tickets have a 2 hour window and I wasn’t there during those times. That is a really nice addition to the stay. I have read reviews about the hotel’s condition but I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary when it comes to hotels. If you’ve stayed here and thought it was outdated, I wouldn’t say by much. Now to the room. I booked a king suite. This was like a one bedroom apartment. I kid you not! I literally had a couch, 2 chairs a big tv and a desk in my living room. There was also a bar looking area that was equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. Down the little hall, yes a teeny hall, there was a full length mirror to the right and sink to the left. It had a lighted mirror. What girl doesn’t like a lighted mirror? The shower and toilet were in their own space. Down the hall to the right was a massive bedroom complete with a king bed, large tv plenty of lighting AND charging ports. And get this yall, I had a WRAP AROUND BALCONY. You could get on the balcony from the bedroom OR living room. Here is THE most important part, bed 10/10. Hot water 🚿 10/10 although finding it was a lil tricky at first. I had to let it run a little before it got where I wanted. Hotel safety 10/10, level of quietness 10/10 and cleanliness, 8.5/10. I say this because some stuff could’ve been a little cleaner but it’s a busy hotel so it’s to be expected.
