Liked: Cleanliness
Overpriced for what it was. Good location and nice staff. Daily room cleaning was poor. Didn’t clean up trash. There was no soap in the room. Not a 4 star hotel. More suited to be a 3 star.

Disliked: Amenities
Windows were filthy. Cobwebs in very high ceilings. Bar was not properly stocked on a Friday. The sidewalk immediately outside the front door is a safety hazard. The front door area near the valet reeks of smoke. It is very unpleasant. Receptionist I spoke with at front desk twice was rude. Lacked information on restaurants in the area. Spoke very softly. Seemed easily irritated. Mm We were on the 3rd floor and it was excessively noisy each night. I rated this hotel as average but it may be less than average given the room rate, location and rating I reviewed before booking. I will not recommend this hotel. I would not stay gere in the future.

Wouldn't Stay Again

The hotel was in a good location near the French Quarter and the (paid) breakfast was good, but that's where the pros of our stay end. The hotel was run down, dingy, and smelled bad in the lobby and hallways. Most of the staff seemed disinterested in attending to guests. It's shocking that this hotel is associated with the Marriott brand.

NOT in the French Quarter or in expected condition

I booked this hotel because it advertised as in the French Quarter, but it it NOT. It is a block and a half away. I asked the front desk if it was safe for me to walk at night to the Quarter (which is why I wanted to be in the French Quarter), and they told me it is not, to take a taxi/uber. I will give a shout-out to the staff, which was exemplary in their handling of me losing my key and in helping me get a taxi to the airport. The room condition left much to be desired. The sink was stopped up and they didn't fix it when I asked. The sliding bathroom doors didn't slide open fully. The European breakfast felt sparce in a city of such rich food - I wouldn't recommend it for the $15. Neither, in fact, does the lady serving the breakfast - I heard her continually recommend nearby restaurants to customers.

This hotel is in a great location. The room was spacious, but a bit dark. The beds were comfortable. The staff is very friendly. I would stay here again.

Property was great for the location. Can use some work but that can just be my taste as I’m a contractor. Very walkable to everything (The best part). Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of different places to visit and eat.

The good points: Very convenient location. Nice gym. Breakfast host very friendly and helpful. The less good: Tired in areas (esp outdoor space). Room very dark even with all lights on. Front desk personnel varied from helpful to defensive. We had an issue with one of our two reservations. It was ultimately resolved by the manager but it took some time and it was quite stressful. Overall, recommended for the price and location but not perfect.
