Hotels Near Simon Bolivar Statue in New Orleans

The reception staff and Bell Man were beyond lovely. My wine unfortunately smashed in my suitcase and they went beyond the call of duty to help make sure everything was dry and clean in time for my flight. They also gave some really useful tips for restaurants in the vicinity when I checked in! Creole House is very near and delicious. I liked the location of this hotel, you could walk to most of the main attractions bourbon street ect but also easy to get an uber too at night time or if it was too hot!

Conveniently located in the heart of the French Quarter in Orléans. It is the parking to be handed over to the doorman and parked in the far away garage. Going on Thanksgiving, there are too many people to stay. Breakfast was eaten at the French street outside the French street, cheap and delicious. The photo is the restaurant on the French street next to it, the breakfast is good.

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

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.

I really enjoyed my stay. I loved that the hotel was close but also away from Canal St. Also being across the street from Majoria's Commerce was a plus, a great little place for breakfast. I loved LOA, the serve was the best and the Bad Blood was my favorite. I will definitely stay here again.

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!

Terrific location! Great staff! Excellent facilities! Varied breakfast options l. We chose to stay here once again as it is centrally located and safe and clean. Erick was big help prior to checkin; and Latasha was a smiling front desk agent who was great help, too. Both of these staff members were extra friendly and went the extra mile to make our ‘anniversary get away’ even nicer. Thanks to both— we will be back!

Hello Hampton Inn customer service front desk, I just want to thank KARA so so much words cant explain how hard working this young lady was when me and my family took the drive all the way from Ohio and I didn't have a room and something got mess up when i was doing my reservations. But KARA was the truth and she made a way for me and my children and I thank her so much for just helping the whole family. The rest of the front desk stuff I'm not sure it was always to much attitude or they didn't feel like being bothered. But way to go KARA and was another young lady on I believe Saturday morning who was awesome as well.

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.
