- “Staff weren't great, the room had a terrible layout. It's the only hotel that I wouldn't return to.” 13
- “Upgraded to a 2-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and large fridge freezer. Bathtub is deep and the closet has lots of hangers.” 5
- “One thing you have to keep in mind is that this is one of the cheapest WAs you can stay at. So while the room is basic, it's still a decent bang for your buck.” 14
- “Hilton Riverside was dated as f, and the room smelled funky.” 9
- “My only complaint about the property is the room decor is pretty dated imo and gives "grandma's house", but Draco's has great food and the property was big and beautiful!” 11
- “The bed was a bit uncomfortable, other than that the hotel is pretty nice, modern and clean.” 9
- “I've stayed at a Homewood in the French Quarter and Hilton Riverside. Hilton Riverside was dated as f, and the room smelled funky.” 9
- “The suite, on the other hand, was as amazing as any Waldorf property. Elegant, historical, but up-to-date.” 11
- “Though decor is a bit bland, the spacious and comfortable suites offer convenience for longer stays and are outfitted with small kitchens and separate living rooms.” 4
- “The small room was the worst 4/5-star hotel room I've ever stayed in. Small is one thing, but weird layout (bed pushed against the closet), no end table on either side of the bed, half broken window frames, peeling paint, and the tiniest bathroom with no counter space.” 11

- “The hotel is on the edge of the French Quarter, but only a couple streets away from Bourbon st., so location is good for that but further from the river area, Downtown, and trolleys to the garden district.” 13
- “Stayed at the Doubletree downtown once for Mardi Gras - dump of a hotel (not sure how much that's changed since I was there in 2017ish, good location.” 11
- “Concierge James is a gem. It's tucked away enough to be quiet but close enough to walk to the quarter.” 11
- “Both hotels are also only about a 4 or 5 min stroll to Bourbon Street. That having been said, I would choose the Sheraton, as it is more centrally located to attractions along the riverfront and into the warehouse and garden districts.” 10
- “100% Sheraton on Canal for me. Great hotel. Great location.” 10
- “I have also stayed in the Roosevelt-much more luxurious being a Waldorf and also in a good location.” 11
- “Great location. That Homewood is just past the outter edge of where I feel comfortable walking down there.” 10
- “Roosevelt Hotel is in a great location and on next to streetcar line.” 9
- “Love the location of this hotel!” 14

- “I stayed at homewood 901 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA 70112. Easy to get around. Walkable to a lot.” 11
- “I stayed at the Troubadour back in 2018 (leisurely) and loved it. The room was nice, breakfast was good, and location was ideal for the most part.” 9
- “I stayed at the Canopy. Didn't love it. Location isn't great (relative to the FQ) and the lobby/bar area setup was a little weird.” 9
- “Plus it's in a nice location that feels away from the action, but it is still very close.” 14
- “Not the best location within the city but not bad either. Just an additional 20-30 minutes of walking a day compared to something in the heart of the CBD.” 11
- “Location was also fantastic, a quick walk to the Quarter, which is where we spent the majority of our time in the city, just walking around.” 9
- “Hilton St. Charles is my favorite - quieter location but still a quick walk to everything.” 11
- “Easy to get around. Walkable to a lot. Friendly staff. Good price. Would recommend” 11
- “Stayed at the Hilton Garden Warehouse District. It's next to the convention center. So if there's no convention on prices can be very good.” 11
- “I stayed at homewood 901 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA 70112. Easy to get around. Walkable to a lot. Friendly staff. Good price.” 11
- “I stayed at the Villa Convento a few years ago. At that price point, we were able to afford the most expensive room and it was great.” 13
- “Did they run out of money for interior decorating?” 14
- “Stayed at the Hilton Garden Warehouse District. It's next to the convention center. So if there's no convention on prices can be very good. Not the best location within the city but not bad either. Just an additional 20-30 minutes of walking a day compared to something in the heart of the CBD. Nice hotel, good rooms. Would stay again.” 11
- “looks like the shower is about six foot six so i'll be able to stand under there nicely” On camera82:49
- “Bathrooms are standard, with shower/tub combos and imitation-granite vanities; some have a separate sink area adjacent to the bedroom.” 4
- “Part of the difference is the separate shower and tub. Having these as separate fixtures does make it standout, as lacking or ordinary as it seems otherwise.” 14
