OMG! This has to have been the worst hotel stay of our lives. We checked in okay and got to our rooms with ease. Once inside the room, they were very outdated and the bathroom had a foul odor. Then on the first night we were awaken at 5:30a.m. by a false alarm and had to walk down 14 flights of stairs. Then to make matters worse, once we got ...
Not too many complaints. It took forever to check in because supposedly the beds weren't made. Once we got to the room, our keys wouldn't work. The room was clean, but they didn't clean the drain in the bathtub so when we took showers it would fill up with water. Other than the above, it's not a bad hotel for the price and location.

The employees were great. The Desk, security, house keeping, you name it they were all fantastic. I will forever stay at the HI on Royal.
We got to the hotel & there was a large line (Friday @ 4:00). We dropped our bags & hit the streets. When we came back a couple hours later we were checked in within a matter of minutes without any problems. We got into our room and it didn't have a pole with hangers in the closet, we called the front desk and within an hour they ...
My reservation was for a non smoking room with a king size bed. The room had two double beds and the hotel said they did not have a room that would match my reservation.
The non smoking room smelt like an ashtray! They promised to fix the problem with some sort of "ozone" treatment but that did little to eliminate the odor. I had to ...

WE WERE THERE FROM A FRIDAY NIGHT TO A MONDAY MORNING. THE RATE WAS 69.00 PER NIGHT. THE ROOM WAS OK, WE WERE NOT IN IT THAT MUCH BUT THE LOCATION WAS FANTASTIC! WHEN YOU GET THIS KIND OF RATE, YOU SHOULDN'T EXPECT THE RITZ!OVERALL, WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND THE BELL HOP DEAN, WAS GREAT! WOULD PROBABLY TRY SOMEWHERE ELSE NEXT TIME BUT FOR THE MONEY, YOU CAN'T BEAT IT!

The rooms were not clean. Bathroom was dirty and there was only one roll of toilet paper and it was not a full roll.
The chairs in the room were torn.
The buffet should have been free. It was horrible.
The hotel should be renovated.
I am a New Orleanian and I would not recommend it to anyone.
This place is wonderful to stay at!!! Love the location. Right by New Orleans night life. Hotel staff was just great!! Very clean place.. Rooms were very nice.
The hotel staff were VERY nice... They never lost their cool even with several people trying to check in at once. Housekeeping took care of all our needs very promptly. We stayed 4 nights and had clean rooms and towels every night. Only one block from Bourbon street and Canal Street. The elevator was very slow and hot but it was during the Essence ...
