Top Desire Area Hotel Reviews

InterContinental New Orleans by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel was very clean and the staff was amazing! At checkout, I left some items in my room and the staff assisted me with the shipment of my items to my home. I would recommend this hotel you everyone!"

Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"This property is as good as it gets with a couple of exceptions. The old style toilets would be much better if the newer “comfort height” toilets were installed. They did not have a grab bar either in the toilet are or the tub area. These would be great safety additions. A petty complaint is that for the price of these rooms it would be nice to have a small 4-cup coffee percolator rather that the one cup at a time Keurig units. They make terrible coffee, regardless of k-cups used."

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

8/10 Good

"This was right on Bourbon street so your close within walking distance for most everything. The balcony was fun to be able to see the action on Bourbon street but be prepared for the very, very loud music until 2am. First appearances were upscale. The room was spacious with the balcony, which was dirty (wear shoes) However, after walking on the carpet in our room our feet were black, the toilet paper holder was falling off the wall, the streaming on the tv didn’t work. Housekeeping didn’t clean the sink or tub and didn’t vacuum when they came in."
