InterContinental New Orleans by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel overall. Pool is quite small for such a large hotel."

Le Richelieu Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms could have been cleaner there was some interesting stains on the walls and the shower drain was a bit crusty, toilet seat was falling off. overall though for the price we had a good stay and all the staff was very nice. we also had an issue because we were not informed the parking lot had limited space, we ended up having to walk 3 blocks with all our luggage and they didnt have luggage carriers that went out to the street at all for us to unload our car quickly. that was the biggest issue we had. Although they informed us that the next day when people checked out we would be able to park our car in their lot, which helped greatly when leaving."

Maison St Charles

8/10 Good

"The employees are very nice and the property is tucked away from the bustle of St Charles with easy access to streetcars right in front of building. Skip the breakfast. Room was clean...ish...but not filthy. No evidence of bugs which is ama,ing in New Orleans in Aug. Kitty cats on property keep critters away. Cute. Safe. Clean."
