I recently stayed at this hotel during the Essence Festival of 2009.. (July 2 thru 5). This was not my first choice, but due to the late reservations, it was the closest hotel to the French Quarters that wasn't booked or a fortune. When I came to the hotel, the rooms were on the outside which I hate!!!! But, once I got into my room, it was ...

Best kept secret in staying in New Orleans. Excellent price and GREAT
FOOD ! TAke shuttle to ferry or drive to Quarter and park for the day. Great place to park is across street from the Oyster bar.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Westbank and really enjoyed our stay. We saved gas! The hotel has a free shuttle to the ferry and that puts you right in down town. We also had free parking! That saved a bunch. They had a breakfast buffet every day and the kids ate free. The pool was beautiful and large and really refreshing after a long day in the ...

restaurant,food taste like fast food & over price for its value.you may fall asleep waitting for service so eat lite before you eat. you dont have to stay here to use the pool.

The front desk clerk was very prompt and efficient. The room was spotless. The breakfast doughnuts and orange juice were fresh. The bed pillows were unusually comfortable. Everyone was friendly.

The bed linen were not completely placed on the bed; the pillows were flat as pancakes, the drapes were not fitted to the window, therefore, you had a gap where people could walk by your room and peer into the room. Lastly, I had to call for towels because the room did not have any towels. I will try to find a better hotel for my next visit.

I think they would not go broke if they supplied more than 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to go with the coffee pot. No data port available. No laundry bag. No BATHTUB ??? Few electrical outlets available, and most were filled. Noisy location, needs more sound proofing. But after all these improvements it wouldn't be the cheapest room in the New Orleans area now would it?
