New Orleans Marriott

I recently visited The Marriott New Orleans for a professional conference (in fact, I just checked out and am waiting on car to airport) and I can say that it is all that it purports to be: it’s a very large, very busy conference hotel. If you are comfortable and pleased with such a surrounding—and its types certainly have their place—you will be pleased with the Marriott New Orleans. The public areas, including conference rooms, lobby, and ballroom are precisely as they should be: large, appropriate media, and institutionally appointed. In other words, they accomplish what they sit out to do. The staff in all regards are helpful, friendly, and efficient. No worries there. This hotel has the largest sundry/snack/essentials shop (The Canal Street Pantry) I have ever seen. Generally, if you need it, they have it. I only ate at the hotel restaurant one morning for breakfast (you’re in New Orleans; you don’t need to—in fact you shouldn’t—eat in a hotel restaurant—and it was, like all else at this hotel—functional and what you would expect. The location can’t be beat. It is in the middle of Canal Street and within walking distance of the entire French Quarter, the Central Business District, and the River. One afternoon for a break I had a pleasant walk to the National WWII Museum, which is also easily reached directly down Magazine. There are a plethora of good restaurants nearby. The sleeping room is, again, like the hotel itself, a typical Marriott room. It’s good sized, has a good, not great, bed, and whatever amenities you need. The elevators are the new “dynamic floor” type which is difficult for some guests to figure out (the desk staff should do a better job explaining them; I had to help a number of new guests who arrived confused as to how they worked), but having been to this hotel at a meeting before are a huge improvement. They are more efficient and much quicker to catch. Read less

Where to start except.... wonderful from check-in to check out. The front desk agents were efficient, accommodating and friendly. The restaurant food was better than a few of the restaurants that we tried in the Quarter. The M club was well worth it. The room hosts were all friendly and kept the food stocked and tables clean. I stayed on the allergy-free floor. I had a corner room with city views. Perfect location. Noise free, very clean, fresh sheets...even the air felt cleaner. Great water pressure and hot shower. If you can get a room on that floor, do it. The hotel is in a perfect location. Close enough but not in the midst of the hustle and bustle. My 8yo had a ball. We were able to walk everywhere, and UBers were less than 5 minutes away when needed. We are definitely coming back, soon! Read less

My daughter and I recently visited for her birthday. Hotel very clean and comfortable. Great location on Canal St. Close to Bourbon St and walking distance to the French Market. Very helpful concierge with discounts available for local tours. All staff were polite and helpful! Rooms and bathrooms are a bit small, but enough space for 2 people for sure. I would stay again!!
