Hotels in Orleans Parish with Swimming Pools

Went to New Orleans for a girls trip. Had a great time. Everyone at the hotel was great especially the Valet attendant Carl. He gave us great advice on places to go, thing to do, and was very helpful and friendly. The hotel could have been cleaner. There was old food and candy on the floor and a little build up in the bathroom. But it was in a convenient spot and close to everything.

Leaving the meeting place is closer. No breakfast, generally no extra bed, can bring children, it is convenient to be near the outlet. The surrounding area is not suitable for parking, but there is a dedicated parking lot.

The location is not far from the French Quarter and there is a park opposite. Tourists can walk, not far from the French-speaking area and the main downtown area, there are many restaurants. The equipment in the hotel is average, but the basic facilities are available. There is a yard that is good, you can smoke and chat on the loungers in the yard. Overall, it’s not bad.

First the positives, great location away from the French Quarter fray and close to many great restaurants (Pêche, Emeril’s, Cochon, Sofia). Staff was friendly and responsive. AC works well and the beds are comfortable. We’ve stayed here many times over the years and consistently had good experience. The negatives? Three things: 1. First and primary there is significant construction happening, so don’t plan on sleeping in. It is constant drum beat of someone banging on a pipe. Starting around 8am. All day. Every day. Even on weekends. Even on Sunday. It really gets annoying. It’s really hard to overcome that in my review. 2. Rooms and hotel are getting really dated. Some of the furniture is scratched and partly broken. Bathrooms look tired and low end. Amenities are few, pool still isn’t open. It just doesn’t feel like a Renaissance. Hoping the construction is to update the hotel for our next trip! 3. As mentioned in previous reviews, not much of an upgrade experience for frequent travelers. The VIP room is literally a closet with small water bottles, a coffee machine, and a few chips. Normally if a lounge is closed, I get a free breakfast for two. Instead you get a $15 coupon which doesn’t buy breakfast for one in the restaurant. Food quality was pretty poor too (again, very friendly staff though). Maybe I am complaining too much about the upgrade experience, but with over 700 hotel nights at Marriott properties, I am pretty good judge about amenities and service. Bottom line: Poor review from my recent stay in April 2023 due to the constant construction noise. I’ll try to stay here again, but I’ll be checking on the construction progress before I do.

We booked the hotel seeing that it had 4 stars, there was a pool and the amenities list said there was an oven and microwave for the room. I can tell you that when we got there we were definitely surprised and not in a good way. The pool was closed even though they put a sign on the door thanking people for staying 6 ft apart. I don’t understand how you can be 6 ft apart if you can’t even go into the pool area, let alone the pool itself. Another reason we were extremely unhappy was because we had brought frozen food expecting to be able to heat it up and there was no oven, nor a microwave in the room. For a 4 star hotel that is ridiculous! Additionally, the hotel was doing some COVID-19 relief programs which in retrospect is very nice of them due to the fact that New Orleans is a poor area, but they did not let us know about it when we booked the room and the outside the hotel was full of homeless people and others just sitting around smoking and drinking by both doors outside and roaming throughout the lobby. My husband and I were very displeased and even though the hotel was giving them food and water, they created a place where anyone could have definitely caught the virus if they aren’t careful enough or if anyone walking in had it. If we ever go back to New Orleans, we will not be staying there.

I'm trying to be optimistic by giving this property an ”Average” rating, but unfortunately my review is going to be very reminiscent of the other latest review on this hotel. While I think it's commendable that the hotel is willing to help displaced people (possibly from the most recent hurricane), it would have been nice to know ahead of time. as we would have chosen a different option to stay at. Typically Hampton Inns are consistent in their atmosphere and reputation, but with the questionable people loitering in and around the property, it just wasn't an experience we were willing to pay for. In addition, because of all these people who were temporarily living at the hotel (possibly through FEMA or the Red Cross), their cars stayed parked in the hotel's parking garage all the time. This left absolutely no room for our car. When I asked the front desk gal abut other possible parking options, she stated that unfortunately there wasn't any additional parking associated with the property, so she said we were on our own as far as finding a spot wherever we could, even if it was a mile or more away. Long story short, we felt like we couldn't leave the hotel if we actually found a spot to park in, for fear of not having one when we came back (in addition, let me tell you, you need some mad parking skills to maneuver though this parking garage). Finally, seeing people walking around with their alcohol throughout the garage was unsettling too. We were supposed to stay at the hotel 4 nights, but decided to check out early and move to another propertyl due to questionable people staying in and around the building/parking lot, but most of all because of the lack of parking options for a paying guest. I feel for the hotel staff because I'm guessing the entire situation is out of their hands, but as far as it being the Hampton Inn experience you're used to, it is not (at least not right now).

Anyway, the most important thing in hotel reservation is brand Holiday Inn will also be satisfied this time. ㅎㅎㅎ

This was a nice base for our business meetings (off site) - plenty of on-site amenities and numerous walkable options. The room was quiet - I had a balcony room over the pool on the fourth floor. If the pool was busier it might be a but noisy for the second floor (opens to the pool) but my experience was quiet. The only complaint I have is not with this property specifically, but with certain Marriott hotels. As many hotels have done, Marriott has transitioned to the pump bottles on the wall in the shower. This is fine, but the font size and contrast are terrible when you are trying to distinguish shampoo from body wash. Even with my glasses I had to get close, and without them it's hopeless. Other hotels have contrasting colors and larger fonts - that's really the only issue I had with my stay.
