Hilton New Orleans St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans

The only thing i would suggest to you guys is making sure you book it online at SweetHotelDeals. N e t I did a bunch of searching for hotel prices, and that site seems to have the lowest prices all around

There were three of us in the room. Beautiful lobby, very nice bellhops and valet parking attendants ($32 per night), fabulous gym. Beds were comfy but they were two doubles, not queen size as we expected- a tight fit for two adults. AC was very cool and responsive to the thermostat. Brick wall view, no upper floor lounge or viewing area, 17th floor is blocked off (that's where they have a "lounge" for the "executive level" but still no view of the city), no hot water in our room's shower, seriously bad in-room coffee maker and coffee, no complimentary beverages (or anything else for that matter) in the lobby area although they did have a bowl of apples on the checkin counter. Even Motel 6 has complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby! Hot tub was out of order the four days we were there, the small basement pool was OK but something was leaking water all over the floor- very slick and cold- and you had to walk through it to get into or out of the pool area. Our room door stuck against the jamb making it very hard to open (you had to lean against it) and it would not close without a vigorous pull. It was open when the bellhop brought us up to the room. Serious burglary risk if the maid had left it ajar or you didn't pull hard enough. There was no microwave, minibar, or fridge. There were no drawers in the bathroom- everything had to be moved around the sink for each person to shave, do their hair or brush teeth. Nowhere to hang towels either. Hair dryer was in a bag on a hook and weighed so much my wife had trouble holding it up to dry her hair. No vent in the bathroom so it steamed up so bad you had to open the door and wait for the condensation to clear the air before you could dry the mirror with the hair dryer. There was only one straightback chair in the room. No place to sit and watch TV but on the bed. The TV was an old 19 inch tube type- you kind of expect something a little more updated in a supposedly renovated 4 star hotel. We knew more about New Orleans than the concierge. The manager eventually found out about these issues when she overheard my wife state she wouldn't be coming back to this hotel. On our last morning, she was reporting the lack of hot water for the fourth time (the front desk person, Scott, showed no interest at all in hearing our complaints or doing anything about them) and moved us to a new room on the last day just so we could take a hot shower. This second room had everything that was missing in the first- chairs, drawers in the bathroom, a view, a working door, a refrigerator. She also comped the valet parking from 1100 to 1500 so we didn't have to pay another $10 just to leave our car there since our flight didn't leave until 1700. We paid $80 a night after a bid on priceline (maybe that explains the crummy room assignment) but found we could have stayed at the Hilton Riverside for $75 with military discount. A MUCH nicer and better located hotel. Wouldn't entertain staying here again. You can't convince me it's worth 4 stars when compared to the competition- even other Hiltons in New Orleans. At $165, the regular rate, it's definitely not worth the money. I'd rather have stayed at the La Quinta for $85 and had a fridge, coffee worth drinking, a microwave and complimentary breakfast for the $5 difference. If you do find yourself here, get an upper floor room 'cause 203 is worthless.

I have 3 children. We had a suite. The rooms were very clean. The staff was great. The location is wonderful, I walked to the casino. We walked everywhere on that strip. It was worth the money, and I would recommend this hotel to others.

My husband and I were at the Hilton for Mardi Gras. What a wonderful surprise! Our room was large and quiet (even though we were on the parade route!). The service was impeccable even at this unbelievably busy time. The hotel employees were courteous and helpful. We even met 2 of the general managers (Raquel and Heather) who were polite, helpful and made sure we enjoyed our stay. The hotel was well within walking distance to the French Quarter, the River walk, Jackson Square and right on the parade route so you could watch all the major parades. The hotel restaurant (Luke's) had a delicious breakfast menu as well as lunch and dinner. In fact, we ate almost all our meals there. We highly recommend this hotel for business or pleasure.

Service was Excellent!!!! We did have a couple of minor problems, but they were taken care of immediently!!! One was unfixable, so they upgraded us!!!!! I loved everything!!!

It was the vacation to remember,wonderful room, the bed just enveloped you. We walked to a football game, the quarter and around downtown. It was wonderful.We will always try to stay there again.

This place was amazing. The whole facility is beautiful. My fondest memory is staying at this hotel. I will never forget it.

This was one of the best hotels my husband and I ever stayed at. At check in they asked if we wanted a pet fish for our room for the stay, and they bring up a little gold fish bowl. Great location - walking distance to everything!

wonder what it's like now? was one of the best hotels in new orleans. the service was fantastic. the rooms were very unique and well appointed. great, fun hotel.

What's not to like? Friendly, efficient service, a decor that makes you smile, location second to none in the city, close to my business needs, the French Quarter and Streetcar line, just six blocks from the convention center and Harrah's. If I had picked it myself I could not have done better. The roaring 20's Masonic Temple building is a big hit, as is the wine hour!
