AC Hotel by Marriott New Orleans French Quarter
The room was lovely in all respects except for sound insulation. You could hear people talking in the hallways and music from outside the hotel across the street. This noise level interfered with my sleep.

Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans
The staff was the absolute best! Room was clean but no outlets in the bathroom where needed the most. The dinner was fair.. pasta a bit cold but the band in the lounge, The Iguanas was fabulous… I can’t say enough good things about the staff… helpful, funny and welcoming. I would have given 5 stars ...

Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter
My biggest complaint was the elevator. We stayed on the 20th floor. One elevator goes from the lobby to the 17th, another goes from 17-20. The two days we were there the elevator for 17-20 broke down for hours. We had to shlep our bags down 3 floors of double landing stairs the morning we left.
