New Orleans Downtown Marriott at the Convention Center

It is out favorite place to stay in New Orleans. This time though it is undergoing renovations which was somewhat of an inconvenience. I think some kind of compensation on the rate should have been offered for the inconvenience of having to alter access to the property.

It is a very nice hotel and we liked the location. We were not aware, however, that they were under construction. We were with another couple and one of them had a hip issue. It was difficult for him to climb the stairs to get to the elevator. The work began at 8:00 in the morning. It was nice to receive complimentary breakfast each morning though.

First, they have valet parking only on a very busy, under construction, two lane road. They do have an underground parking lot but only valet. Second, the person at front desk was a robot. She did not smile and only seemed to be able to follow a script in monotone and didn’t seemed quite lost when asked a question. Had a couple of different interactions with her with the same result.

Enjoyed the hotel and it was in walkng distance of everything I did

Booked 2 double beds handicapped shower accessible, at arrival was told only king size bed available. Also told if I had booked with them directly vs Hotels.com it would have been different. That being said otherwise stay was good, staff exceptional.
