The building itself is situated in an area that's relatively close to everything and would be a short drive- Uber ride away. Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly front desk staff. We were then passed over to another pair that wanted to help us with our trips itinerary. They were overly friendly and wanted to be really helpful. We had things to do so we went up to our room and that's when the phone calls started. They were very aggressive and I did not put two and two together until I remembered this was a Wyndham hotel *cue ominous music*. It's a Wyndham. You're gonna get offered all kinds of free stuff and discounts but you have to attend a "presentation" in order to get them. In Wyndham speak that means timeshare presentation. If you don't know, they basically kidnap you and force you to buy a timeshare for 20 plus thousand dollars (I'm exaggerating but the sales pitch is extremely high pressure and if you say no, they will turn on you and act like you're stealing food out of their kid's mouths.) If you possess the power of the word "NO" and hold your ground then you'll be just fine. However, if you are not and you are swayed or can be swayed avoid them like the plague. They come off as friendly, charming, and helpful, but the second you say "no"?, like I said earlier, they are going to turn on you. You have been warned.

Where was the Riverfront Hotel in all the website pictures? The hotel looks nice from the outside…read more That's where it ends. The interior space is old and tired. Desperately in need of new flooring, paint and furniture. I went down to the empty restaurant for lunch and nobody was working. I asked the front desk if they were open and she said yes. Went back. Nobody there and no food being served. My hotel room was disgusting. The carpet and bathroom floors were FILTHY and sticky. The front door of my room had a broken hydraulic and would only open half way. The door on the dresser was broken and the top hinge was ripped off. The shaving mirror in the bathroom was pulled out of the drywall and hanging. The mattresses on both queen beds were old and worn out to the point they had pits in them. Damaged walls and broken trim everywhere. I stayed four nights and the entire time I was there there was a dirty janitor cart with buckets of open paint on it right outside my room. It never moved. My company put me here for a meeting. Seriously awful. Don't stay here.

They clean the rooms everyday and provide fresh towels, without me having to "request service" or a "care for their environmental concerns". I have a family of four with kids under the age of 10 and the idea that 4 towels should last me my entire stay in the deep humidity of New Orleans is laughable. It was so refreshing to have a hotel just do the right thing and clean the room without me having to ask or beg and plead. In an age where the consumer is just losing benefit after benefit while being gaslit by big corps..it's nice to be able to take a shower at the end of a day with 20k steps in deep humidity. Also, I really liked their skull wallpaper. Great job folks.

Since my hubby had just stayed at a Cambria in Philly, we said why not. Found a reasonable deal and booked. Location is great. Close enough to the Convention Center and Riverwalk to walk. Actually easy to walk to the French Market, Jackson Square and the galleries on Royal Street. Check out MS Rau. This art gallery is like a museum where you can buy masterpieces by Monet, Picasso and Chagall, if you can afford them. I just go to look and admire my some of my favorite artists. Lots of cute restaurants and coffee shops within a few blocks. Or just go to watch the sunset from a beautiful view along the Mississippi River a few blocks away. Check in was so easy. Asked for a quiet room on a higher floor. No problem. Alteion was so responsive when I mentioned an issue. Thanks also for a nice breakfast at the U-Bar. So easy and efficient. So why four stars when the staff earned five?? Housekeeping. Or rather lack of housekeeping. That was a mercy two at best. For a stay of four nights/five days with daily housekeeping included I have a few basic expectations. The garbage can should be emptied. The garbage can in the bathroom was finally emptied on the day before we checked out. The other garbage can was never emptied. It was overflowing with empty cups of Chai from Nova, paper bags, and party supplies for graduation by the time we left on Sunday morning. If the towels are soaking wet and on the floor, they should be changed. That happened exactly once during our four night stay. After, I let the front desk know on the day before we checked out. If there is a coffee maker and there are no coffee cups in the room and no coffee pods next to the Keurig, the assumption is that they should be replaced. Common sense, right. It was easy to tell that the room was not properly cleaned as the bed was never made, there were crumbs on the floor and the bathroom was filled with a combination of towels hung up to dry and some left on the floor. (We however did clean the bathroom, kitchen, windowsills and more at the house that my daughter and her roommates are leaving after four years of school at TSOM.) This hotel has the makings of a really good place to stay. It is so cute. Love the brick warehouse district walls and the Big Easy artwork. Just needs some simple common sense fixes. Note: There are entrances on both Commerce and Tchoupitoulas. Important to know if you order a UBER, Lyft or have your daughter pick you up to go to Trivia Night or an Arcade Bar. You also will need your room key to enter on Commerce after hours and to access the elevator to your hotel room. Safety first!

I was recently in NOLA for work. I had stayed at this hotel many years ago and remembered my…read moreexperience fondly. I was looking forward to staying there again. Sadly, it was nothing like I remembered. The lobby continues to be interesting with the amazing blown glass art. But everything else was honestly disappointing. I'm a Gold Elite Bonvoy member with nearly 30 years as a Bonvoy member. When I checked in, my reserved room type (king room) wasn't available. So, they put me in a queen double on the second floor. No attempt to explore an upgrade...no attempt to make it right. The hotel also now charges a "destination fee" which is honestly just a way to fleece customers for more money. You can get a "free tour" from some local tour companies, but that doesn't make a ton of sense if you are in town for work and aren't in town to play. There is supposed to be a $10 daily food and beverage credit that can be used at the on-site restaurant, but as you can imagine $10 doesn't go very far there. The room was mid at best. The bed was wildly uncomfortable and the pillows might have well been nonexistent (super flat and not supportive at all). The carpet in the room looked like it had definitely seen better days. And, the bathroom needs a complete overhaul. The grout lines are deeply stained from dust, grime and water. There is something accumulating in the corner by the tub. And the "art" in the bathroom appears to have not been dusted in years. Pictures provided. The hotel is TIRED and long overdue for an update. I live the location of the hotel, but I'd probably choose a different hotel next time.

A group of friends and I visited Mardi Gras World during one of our New Orleans trips, and while it…read moreis cool to see some of the old parade floats, I don't know if it's worth a whole trip to see it. The floats are kind of stacked in front of and around each other, but you can still tell what you're looking at because they are so huge. We saw Buzz Lightyear, Spock, Pepé Le Pew, and other gigantic floats, with some non licensed floats like a greek soldier, a fountain, a cow, and a buck toothed dragon. Now here is where things got a little weird. When we got there, we definitely did NOT do a tour, like the website says is required. We perused the gift shop, bought a few things, and then walked through the warehouse by ourselves and saw the floats on our way out. Mardi Gras World is a pretty neat place to visit, but it's definitely outside the central area of New Orleans. For just a quick stop to shop and see a few floats it's fine, but I think if I went back, I would definitely seek out the tour and figure out how to do that!

Progreso- not worth getting off the boat unless you do an excursion or enjoy being hassled to buy something every 2 seconds. Cruise: Great drinks (top shelf), ok-to-good food (better than an all inclusive resort in Mexico). Gotta make your own fun which we did. Small pools (surprising), nice staff, left from New Orleans. Tips: take a power strip (not enough plug-ins in cabin). Buy the drink package before you leave (it costs $130 more for 2 ppl if you purchase on the boat). Skip the WiFi unless you just have to have it (worked half the time). Download the Carnival app w/chat (5$). Spa was way too expensive even with the $50 I won the 1st day in a drawing. Also, if anyone has video of me doing the "running man" on the Capitol Bar stage in front of everyone with the cruise director, message me. Thanks.
