The room at Sheraton New Orleans was surprisingly spacious—much larger than typical rooms back home, especially for a U.S. hotel. Staying on the 44th floor offered a fantastic view and a quiet atmosphere. The only minor quirk is that you need to select your floor from the lobby elevator panel before entering; once inside, there’s no option to press additional floors—something to note but not a dealbreaker. Location-wise, it's perfect if you're attending a convention or exploring the French Quarter. Everything is within walking distance, and public transit access is convenient. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the overall experience felt seamless. I’d definitely stay here again—especially with how easy the booking process was through the platform.
Staying at the Four Seasons New Orleans was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room was spacious and elegantly designed, offering plenty of comfort and a serene atmosphere. Everything was immaculately clean—every surface, every corner, even the bathroom felt like a sanctuary. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service; they anticipated needs without being intrusive. It’s rare to find such thoughtful hospitality in a luxury hotel. The location is fantastic too—just a short walk from downtown attractions and great restaurants. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality, cleanliness, and genuine care.
Our stay at The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the grandeur and timeless elegance of the property set the tone for a truly special experience. The room we booked was on a higher floor, offering a lovely view of part of Canal Street—perfect for morning coffee with a cityscape backdrop. The decor struck the perfect balance between rustic charm and refined luxury, with tasteful details throughout that made the space feel both warm and sophisticated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and every element—from the linens to the bathroom fixtures—felt high-end and well-maintained. It’s rare to find such a historic property that feels so thoughtfully cared for, especially during a busy holiday weekend like Labor Day. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere felt genuinely elegant. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. We’ll definitely be back.

The staff in the lobby were incredibly warm and welcoming—felt like coming home, especially as a traveler from abroad. While the facilities aren’t cutting-edge, they’re well-maintained and comfortable, and the bed was exceptionally cozy for a restful night’s sleep. What truly stood out was how they handled my unexpected extension due to the hurricane. A friendly front desk agent personally upgraded me to a room with a balcony—such a thoughtful touch that made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Even though I couldn’t leave on schedule, the care and attention from the team made all the difference. This place truly goes above and beyond, and I’d absolutely recommend it.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Happy Place Bed and Breakfast! From the moment we walked in, everything felt thoughtfully curated. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The plush towels and high-quality bath amenities (shampoos, conditioners, lotions, oils) were a nice touch. We especially loved the themed rooms, with fun details inspired by Thor and Nigel that added character and charm. It felt like staying in a cozy, personal retreat rather than just another hotel. The location is great—close to public transit and downtown attractions, making it super easy to explore New Orleans. Every little detail showed care and attention. Highly recommend this hidden gem!
