Hotels Near City Gear in New Orleans

Now this is a hotel! I have so much love and appreciation for this hotel, I don't know where to start. It's cleanliness is unmatched- you can tell the staff takes great pride in the cleanliness of the hotel. i probably should say this at the end but I will stay here anytime and every time I stay in New Orleans. I stayed at the ”Worst Western” (about a mile from here), and I believe it was a horrible experience. Period. Don't ever go there.Like ever... Now for the staff at this Holiday Inn Express You guys at this hotel are one of the best staffs I've ever met Iris-I didn't meet you but I hope you appreciate the staff you have. They are wonderful Nikkolette-you were the first to make me feel welcome and went the extra mile to do so. Keira-You are equally as amazing and professional. Keep up the great service. Ricardo-You are a hard worker sir.You hard work was noticed and appreciated. Nicole-Amazing staff member and you are very courteous. Housekeepers-you were awesome! And last but not least... Ianthe... Where did they find you from? You are the best breakfast attendant I ever seen. You handled the Sunday breakfast rush so well and and so gracefully. They need to make you full-time and give you a raise immediately, because whatever they are paying you it can't possibly be enough. The fact that I took my time to write this during my very busy vacation should let you know I really appreciate your great service. Blessings and I will see you soon.

The price of this hotel is relatively high, about 15 minutes drive from the city, but don't stay on holidays or weekends. The price of my stay on Saturday is double that of Monday (¥530 and ¥1100)

Quality hotel, clean and tidy environment, the disadvantage is that there is only one elevator, but at the price, it is very cost-effective to enjoy such a room, not far from the sightseeing area.

This really is a case of too good to be true. Managed to get a room in New Orleans for a good deal - we thought - and at a Quality Inn! Ok, the hotel has rebranded it looks like, and is in the middle of renovations. But - found our room. Whatever they used for either cleaning or to deodorize was nasty - perfumey incense or something not expected in a Quality Inn brand, I needed to hold a coffee pod to my nose for a few hours. There were no towels in our room, so I called the front desk, and was told to go to the office to get them. There was a couple of long black hairs in one of the clean(?) bath towels. There was only coffee for one in the room, and no one added more the next couple of days we were there. The bed was ok, pillows super squishy and not very comfortable. The door to the room had major gaps between the bottom, and the lock never did close quite right. It got chilly at night, and there was a draft. We had to use some of our bags and coats to block the wind. The room was not done up the second day - staff walked by the room peeking in the windows, and never knocked to see if we needed new towels or coffee. The breakfast - the first morning, there were no more eggs, and the waffle batter dispenser was empty. Asked for more eggs, and some were made. Asked for waffle batter, and we were made 2 waffles which was nice. The second morning, we asked for more eggs as there were none again, and we were told they weren’t going to make any more eggs so they could be thrown out like the day before. No fruit cups in the fridge, and the only fresh fruit available were bananas. Barely any yogurt either. The waffle batter dispenser was full and available tho. The third day, we just made our own breakfast. Definitely do not recommend. There were also a couple of larger size bugs in the bathroom and sink area.

In terms of hardware, the facilities are good. I am a suite and the sofa, bed, and TV are relatively new. The hotel has free parking lot with lots of parking spaces. Breakfast is not bad, typical American breakfast. The waiter was kind and friendly. When I checked in, I saw that the hotel specially made a welcome slogan for me, indicating that the hotel treats its guests very carefully and has a great experience.

The rooms are simple, as you would expect from a budget hotel. Everything was clean. Manager very friendly and helpful. We will be back.
