I should've never stayed here my 2nd time
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/27/08
In the Summer of 2007, I was on a roadtrip and It was my first time in New Orleans, and I always like to stay at Marriott Properties since I'm a rewards member.
First thing I want to say is. This hotel is not in a good part of town, and nothing is lit up at all outside at night. They need security desperately!
The parking lot is all chopped up, and is very narrow to park and back up into and out of.
After I checked in, I was asking the night desk clerk some info about the area, and he had no idea about anything. You could barely even understand him with all his bad english.
The internet was being consumed by some young kid who wouldn't get off it. I told the desk clerk, and he didn't do a thing about it.
There were ants in the bathroom as well.
It doesn't seem like such a great clientele stays there. I had my suitcase and other bags, and no one even offered to open the door for me including the desk clerk.
The next morning, I needed to use the internet. But guess what? Still being consumed by some young kids playing games and wouldn't even get off. I told the desk clerk I needed some directions, and when I told her how to do mapquest, she had no idea what she was doing.
Sometimes, I give places a 2nd chance, and was on a roadtrip with my sister and she wanted to see New Orleans, and so I decided to stay here again. This was December 2007, and the only difference is that there was no ants in the bathroom being that it's 40 instead of 100.
Same situation. 2 desk clerks not so bright, and kids consuming the internet playing games. The desk clerks didn't do a thing about it.
After 2 times going to New Orleans, I definately wont be going back anytime soon, and definately not to that property.
