Residence Inn by Marriott New Orleans Downtown

Great location, great facility, thin walls

Positiv: Room size and amenities were great.

Negativ: You could hear the rooms above and next to you.

Unexpectedly Good, Great for Convention Center Stu

Positiv: The room was great and better than described. Powerful AC/Heat Unit. The Kitchenette had cookware and dishes, a dishwasher, full size fridge, two stovetops, a large coffee maker, large sink, and table for two seperate of the living space. There was a decent sized pull out couch, coffee table, and large desk. Large Closet and fantastic shower pressure. Garden and pool are enclosed from street view. Basketball court and fitness center. Free Breakfast options that were beyond expectation in variety and quality. 4 short blocks on straight line from convention center. I was closer and paying less than most attendees. The employees were the best, though. They checked my bags since I got in for a conference at the Convention Center early, gave me free trolley tokens and advice for touring, easy to talk to, and met all of my needs. Only 4 blocks away

Negativ: Street-side hotel rooms in ANY part of downtown New Orleans can be loud on Friday and Saturdays, and my room was ground floor street side.

Great Value

Positiv: Spacious, clean rooms, in a great location (very close to Emeril's/the WWII Museum/Harrah's and only a 15 minute walk to the French quarter), at a fantastic price. You could do a lot worse at this price point with not that much more upside. We didn't even take advantage of the gym or free breakfast.

Negativ: We liked it. We weren't expecting to be wowed upon arrival and we weren't. A lot of families stayed, and therefore there was some noise. Nothing unreasonable.
