The M Club lounge is widely considered one of the best in the U.S.
Location is unbeatable: cross the street and you're in the French Quarter
River View rooms offer spectacular sights of the Mississippi and cruise ships
Pikakatsaus: A massive, frenetic convention machine that delivers convenience and views but suffers from agonizing elevator waits and thin walls.
Arvioinut @AishaNicole: I stayed here for a quick trip and loved the modern vibe. The lobby was a great spot to work, and having the 24/7 market was a lifesaver. It’s a sleek, quiet escape right near the action.

The hype
Perfect for first-timers who want to walk everywhere, but the sheer size of the hotel makes everything from coffee to elevators a line-waiting game.
Reality check
The 'Destination Fee' of ~$29/night feels like a cash grab, offering 'perks' like a city tour that most guests don't use.
You are a Marriott Platinum/Titanium member (the lounge is worth it)
You are attending a convention at the hotel or nearby
You prioritize a river view over a quiet boutique atmosphere
Siisteys ja kunnossapito
8
Housekeeping: Generally consistent daily service, though some reports of 'rushed' cleaning and missed dust in corners.
Bathroom hygiene: Mostly good, but recurring complaints about 'tub down spouts' not working and occasional mildew in grout.
Maintenance: The building is older. Expect some scuffs, worn carpets in hallways, and slow drains.
Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—crisp and clean, though towels can feel a bit thin.
Odors & scents: Lobby is heavily perfumed. Some guest rooms have a lingering 'damp' or 'musty' smell due to NOLA humidity.

Sisäpiirin vinkit
✨
The elevators require a room key to operate, which is great for security but slows down the flow—have your key ready.
✨
Skip the hotel Starbucks line in the morning; go to French Truck Coffee on Chartres St for better coffee and shorter lines.
✨
If the main valet line is backed up, there is sometimes a second entrance/exit flow that bellhops can direct you to during events.
5 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi
💡The 'River View' can sometimes be partially blocked by other towers depending on the specific angle of your room.
💡The gym is split into two separate rooms (cardio vs. weights) which can be confusing.
💡Housekeeping can be aggressive about knocking early on checkout day.
💡The lobby smell is a distinct Marriott 'white tea' scent that they pump in heavily.
💡You can hear the streetcar rumble from lower floors—it's charming at 2pm, annoying at 6am.
