I have lived in Gretna all of my life and stayed at the Tower Hotel (when it was open) several times. Everything back then was good. The nightly rates, the customer service, the convenience, and the location. Not only is this hotel across the expressway from a great shopping mall (Oakwood); but, it is also minutes from the French Quarter. The ...

In 1996 we made a last minute decision to drive from California to New Orleans for New Years. As we got across the country we tried motel after motel - which were, of course, all fully booked. Finally we found this place which would let us in, and we soon found out why - filthy, unwashed, smelly, and in an awful location. The only thing to ...

There is a housing project just a couple of blocks away. The hotel is situated between the project and the shopping center. Exercise extreme caution when staying here or visiting Oakwood Shopping center. Do not venture out at night. I have stayed here and I live in the New Orleans West Bank area. This is one of the worst crime areas on the West Bank.

it was a great location for me, plus i got a king-sized bed in a smoking room, and the staff were friendly. the only real dislike was that the cafe in the lobby didn't have much selection and closed between 1-2 everyday, so you couldn't eat dinner there.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We tried 3 rooms before we found a descent one. Two of the rooms did not have working air-cons. As I tried to open the door to the third door the door frame fell as well. A member of the staff in the next room came out along with a myterious order. I cannot confirm what the smell was, but it did not smell legal!

by all means, the most dirty, unprepared hotel I've ever been to, we booked 3 months in advance, and when we arrived, they didn't have a room for us, they tried to make us go somewhere else without any compensation, not even willing to pay for our 6 family groups taxi. they put us in a room on a floor that wasn't even suppose to have ...

This hotel is a good deal for people who are looking for an inexpensive place to stay that is located near downtown New Orleans. The staff was incredibly helpful, polite, and they went out of their way to make sure our stay was pleasant. However, the hotel's interior was showing it's age and the bathrooms were outdated. All this said, the rooms were very clean!
