Hotels Near Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans

There is really nothing to say about the hotel. During the epidemic, it is not only cheap but also has fewer people! The neighborhood is also very close to French Street, and there are delicious oysters, ACME restaurant is recommended, the seafood is really delicious!

We were on a trip with 4 other couples, all staying in various hotels around Canal/Bourbon street, and the property at Virgin Hotels in New Orleans, from the lobby/coffeshop, to the room, to the rooftop bar were far and away better than the other properties for around the same price. It was our Anniversary weekend, and there was a very nice gift from the hotel in our room upon arrival, and everything was perfect. For anyone looking to see the WWII museum on their stay, it was an easy 10 min. walk, and Bourbon Street was 15-20 minutes away (for those inclined). The pictures and reviews on this hotel are accurate and probably understated compared to the experience we just had there in May 2022!

I was in town for a conference. I like mid-range hotels like Holiday Inn Express because you tend to get more complementary stuff, like breakfast and WiFi, and this was no exception. There are many positives: from here you are within easy walking distance to Bourbon Street and the CBD (Central Business District for us non-locals). It's a bit of a stretch to walk to the convention center (where I needed to be on a daily basis) or Frenchmen's street (less crowded than Bourbon, with different if not better character and music). I think I met half the Lyft drivers in NOLA, though got plenty of steps in too. There are a couple of restaurants nearby; I frequented Walk-Ons, a franchise but one that has local fare too. I had a room RIGHT next to the elevator. My first reaction was YES! I never get a short walk to the elevator! My second reaction was - $#!^ - I'm not going to be sleeping much with partiers coming off that same elevator. My fears were unfounded. The bed was plenty comfortable, the room was quiet, and I slept well. I only interacted with staff on a few occasions, but these were all positive. If you get hungry or need a drink or sundries, they have a ”Market” with assorted goods for purchase. They also have a business center (with a printer) that I did not use. I did not have housekeeping my entire four-night stay. This seems to be industry standard. You can request housekeeping, but it was just me, and I can live in my modest mess for a few days. It is my custom to include a report for traveling athletes. Swimming is a problem at this location. They have an indoor pool that is slightly larger than a bathtub. There are four local regional pools (closest being Gat Town Natatorium and Treme Recreational Community Center), but I struck out completely - all 4 were closed on the day I had planned to swim, one I found out by a failed Lyft ride to a closed community center. My suggestion is to CALL before you go, and if they don't answer, that probably means they are not there (even if the website says they are open... grr). For running, there are some treadmills at the hotel's fitness center that I did not use. About a half-mile away from the hotel is the Lafitte Greenway (look for the St. Louis Cemetary at Basin Street for the trailhead). It is 2.6 miles of paved trail for bikers, walkers, and runners. It felt safe (enough). There are several cross-streets, the more dangerous with stop signs and less dangerous with yield signs. I rarely needed to stop for traffic, and most drivers with polite, some even stopping when they did not have to so I could continue my run. A message from Captain Obvious: New Orleans is hot and humid. Avoid planning a run that will outlast your hydration. Back to the hotel. A couple of areas for improvement. The front desk was usually but not always staffed. It was not a problem for me directly, but I saw someone trying to get checked in with nobody to help him. The front door gets locked at 10 PM - or 9 PM - or

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean room and common areas. The only reason I gave a 4/5 on facilities is because I don't think we should have had to pay $25 to park in the hotel parking garage!

No matter which aspect you evaluate, it’s great, I love it so much

This hotel was fantastic. It’s located right next to a streetcar station. Our room had a mini-kitchen with cutlery and dishes, a washing machine and a dryer. The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much.

I was racially profiled at this hotel. I was accused of stealing. The clerk(white lady) said she saw me put a honey bun in my shirt! I had to expose myself in front of everyone to prove my innocence! The clerk just shrug her shoulders like oh well, it looked like you put something in your shirt! Then the lady refuses to check me out!!!!!! How humiliating and embarrassing! The distress is overwhelming!! Regardless of the comp nights given by the hotel manager, Chris, this issue is still unresolved! I have not been able to speak the the GM about this matter to date. The email I was given by the hotel manager for Beth Ables, have been undeliverable. I would not recommend staying at this hotel! I would not recommend this hotel!!!!! My stay was August 26-28, 2022. French Quarters Sheraton.

The hotel has convenient transportation, parking garage, rich breakfast, supermarkets, restaurants, convenience stores around.

The hotel is very clean and the breakfast very good. Neighborhood was good. I felt very safe there. The staff was friendly and polite. I would definitely stat there again. The television was a good size and the channel selection was excellent.

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.
