    Living area
    Joe P.

    After a lousy stay at the Beau Rivage (a MGM property) in Biloxi, I had an even worse experience at the Intercontinental in New Orleans (a IHG property). The stay started out well. The suite I was in had two full baths, a large bedroom, and a living area. In addition, I was contacted by staff to see if there was anything I needed. However, at departure, I found out I would not receive a complimentary weekend night as planned. I signed up for the IHG Ambassador program that includes one free comp weekend night a year. I called the Ambassador number b4 signing up, bc I had questions about the program. The person I spoke to said, after I sign up for the program; all I have to do is book a weekend stay. The hotel would provide me a credit on site. The credit was not on my bill, so I spoke to Mark. Mark spoke to a higher up named Matt who said I will not receive a comp night this trip. They said I had to do something special at booking to obtain the comp weekend night. His response is totally contrary to what the person told me from the Ambassador program. Its not my job to navigate what Corporate sez vs what local hotels believe is the correct way to do things. I will dispute the one night stay with my credit card company, and contact Corporate IHG to obtain a credit, or a full refund of my Ambassador fee. The local management's actions are not the way to instill loyalty in the IHG program.

    We recently had a 4-night stay at InterContinental New Orleans and left feeling a lot to be desired. The property does not live up to the InterContinental brand name, and quite honestly we've had nicer stays at Holiday Inn Express. Immediately upon check-in, we noticed our room reeked of cigarette smoke. Odd for a smoke-free hotel, but guests don't always follow the rules. However, for housekeeping to turn over the room after the previous guests and call it "good" was baffling to us. We requested a new room via text exchange, and were told it was not possible due to occupancy. The hotel was navigating a wedding, cheerleading competition, and cruise ship guests... but, after spending one night in the room and waking up with a headache from the smell, we were ready to find a new hotel. We plead our case at the front desk later in the day, and somehow they found a new room for us on Day 2. Our stay came with buffet breakfast everyday due to my partner's IHG Diamond Elite status, and the Pete's staff was exceptional. There was a nice spread, but the highlight was the chef on duty to hand-craft omelettes or scrambles just the way you like it. He was such a gem, and so fun to talk with each morning. We also did happy hour in Pete's one evening, and the charcuterie platter for ~$20 was impressive and delicious! It's also the only picture I managed to snag :) It really seems like InterContinental New Orleans has seen its heyday, and it's behind us. The ornate lobby decor does not align with the tired guest rooms, and there's no club lounge, for those who may be expecting one. I think the most disappointing aspect of our stay was the lip-service apology about our first room reeking of cigarette smoke. After a long day of travel, we didn't have the energy to put up a fight or find new accommodations... but we shouldn't have had to in the first place.

    If InterContinental is the Flagship of IHG, then they need to find a better boat. I chose this property because I wanted to stay somewhere nice. We had previously stayed at the Kimpton a few blocks away, and decided to try the Flagship brand, which turned out to be a big dinghy. . The service was lacking. There were a few different doormen near the entrance and throughout the entire trip, I don't think anyone ever greeted or acknowledged us walking it. Most of the time, they were talking to each other. Not a big deal, but why even have them there. While they had great, firm pillows, the bed itself was also way too firm to the point of waking up sore... and not from an extra fun night! ;) The quality of sleep was one of the worst I've had at a hotel. I did notify the front desk after they asked me to rate my stay and they offered to put a "topper" or something on, but I knew that would do very little. I give them credit for the offer though. The shower/tub was outdated and not what I'd expect from a flagship property. I get that this was probably a nice hotel "in the day", but compared to other InterContinentals and Kimpton's, this just didn't wow me. The soap and toiletries were nice though. Smelly in a good way! Everything was frustrating... the TV controller sucked and you had to press the buttons super hard to get it to do anything. There was no mini-fridge, just an honor bar with no prices listed for anything. The towels were small and not plush at all (I've had better at a Holiday Inn Express). Finally, with a late checkout, coming back from brunch and walking the extended walk to the room, the key didn't work! UGH! F' your system that "automatically" disables the key after 11a. My checkout was 2p! The location was convenient to the French Quarter, and it was far enough away to be somewhat quiet. But I'd probably give the Hotel Indigo a try (about a block away) or go back to the Kimpton next time. I don't plan on returning here.

    Even though my room was outdated for the most part I enjoyed my stay. I'm subtracting a star for the simple reason that there isn't an empty fridge in the room. There is a fridge stocked with drinks for purchase. I needed a fridge to store my own drinks and food. The location of the hotel is only minutes from the French Quarter. I liked the food at the hotel. The chicken salad and pecan pie were superb. It's a good place to hold a conference.

    While this InterContinental was convenient to the French Quarter I found it to not be updated or to the level of their properties in other cities.That being said, the room was nice with a huge balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The daily complimentary breakfast was amazing!! I loved the made to order omelets, fresh fruit, beignets, assorted pastries etc. We also received drink vouchers for the bar each day, I would stay here again on another visit to New Orleans.

    You what I'm going to give this stay 5 stars. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic! Upon arrival the front desk person bit sure his name, he was fantastic and got me some excited for my stay. He also gave me a few waters and free drink coupons. The lobby is nice and the concierge is nice to have. Upon arrival to my room I was very happy with how everything looked. Room was very clean, had several pillows, a good view, and nice amenities. Hotel staff was very attentive whenever we need anything and I really enjoyed the rooftop pool. Overall the stay was very comfortable and really had no complaints. The drinks at the hotel bar was a really nice perk and they were really delicious. There was a mini bar- but, I did not need to use it. The only odd thing was that the hotel put on a fall festival, however, everything cost to participate. We were on our way out so we didn't really check it out much.

    After realizing that my conference was here I was sad to see all of the negative reviews, but pleased to report that I had a great experience! It started off with my arriving several hours early, and being able to check in right away! That hardly ever happens. (It was still morning time!) Mariah at the front desk was delightful, then once I got to my room, I got a text from Maya, welcoming me back! I hadn't stayed here in years, so this was a nice touch. She offered assistance with anything I needed and her, Brianna and Maycee responded the few times that I contacted them. I liked the decor of the lobby and my room was perfect. Loved the Keurig and my king size bed was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't like was the stocked fridge that can't be used for your leftovers or carry out. I will never buy the overpriced beverages, so it's a waste. I didn't see the sticker saying that if you move anything out of the fridge you're charged for it, and I did because I had a to go box that needed to be refrigerated. I texted the ladies and they confirmed that they would notate my account to ensure that I wasn't charged. We had a networking event at Pete's Pub before dinner the first night at Trenasse. Loved that both were right in the hotel! I also loved that the ballroom and meeting rooms were off the same bank of elevators, very close, so it was convenient to go to my room if needed. There was also a lot of seating in the lobby. Super convenient and comfy. The only negatives from the whole week were the bar closing at 11 when we had a large party returning from dinner and wanting to hang out (we moved to the lobby with paper cups!) and the a/c blasting in the meeting rooms...I was constantly freezing! But other than those two things I had a great stay here and would return!

    Disappointing Stay - Not a True InterContinental Experience. I've stayed at InterContinental hotels across the U.S. and internationally, and unfortunately, this location did not live up to the brand's reputation. From start to finish, the experience was disappointing. This location also does not have a club lounge for those with access. Our first room had a strong odor, and the balcony door was completely broken. After being moved, we found the furniture in the new room falling apart. Despite having high IHG status, we were denied an upgrade, even though it was included in my benefits. After some back-and-forth, we decided to stop pushing and focus on enjoying our trip. Housekeeping was another struggle. I requested a few basic items--an extra robe, slippers, and a shower cap. After multiple requests via phone and chat, only one item arrived at a time, and in the end, we still didn't receive everything. At checkout, I requested an itemized receipt and was given a blank page showing just the total charge. The front desk staff, who seemed to be having a bad day, insisted that was all they could provide. Only after following up via text was I finally sent the proper receipt. I was also incorrectly charged for a bottle of wine I didn't consume but was able to get it removed by providing a picture of it still in the room. The one bright spot of our stay was Bellman, Oswald, who was always friendly and welcoming--his kindness was a highlight each day. The lobby is nice and the restaurant in the front part of the lobby, which is a third-party is pretty good. The restaurant owned by the hotel and where breakfast is served was disappointing. As a loyal InterContinental guest, I won't let this experience deter me from the brand overall, but I will be much more cautious in the future and do my research rather than assuming a location meets the usual high standards.

    Ambiance: A Comfort: A Bed: A Cleanliness: A Customer Service: A ---- I absolutely loved my stay here! I think some of the criticism this hotel gets is unwarranted. Yes, it does not feel very modern 1)Because it's, well, old, and 2) that's its style--old European charm. If you're not into vintage aesthetics, I can see why it might not appeal to everyone, but docking stars because you don't like the concept feels unfair. Personally, I adore all things vintage, so this hotel was right up my alley from the start. Despite its age, the property is very well-maintained. There was nothing dingy, peeling, or neglected--everything felt clean and thoughtfully cared for. There are some updated spaces, like the beautiful sitting room on the third floor. It's decorated with white chairs and purple pillows, and in December, the Christmas decorations make it look like something straight out of a storybook. The customer service was also fantastic. There was a minor issue with my reservation (we were traveling as a large group, and there was a mix-up--though it wasn't clear whether it was on the hotel's end or the travel agent's), but they sorted it out quickly. I even ended up in a junior suite as they didn't have any of my room type available. It was an amazing upgrade that I didn't expect! If you love vintage charm paired with excellent service, I highly recommend this hotel. For me, it was the perfect mix of character and comfort!

    We stayed here for a last minute getaway and overall enjoyed our stay. I was disappointed that I got a room overlooking a parking lot instead of a room with a downtown view or a patio view (even numbers) even though we stayed for 4 nights. Location is good! Close but not in the French quarter as it is loud near Bourbon street. It was a 10min walk from the E2 airport bus line and a street car to the Garden District runs in front of the hotel. Service was good! The first morning I ran 3 cycles through the Keurig which had calcifications in it. I requested a clean machine which they replaced. I also requested more regular coffee as they only stock it with 3 pods. They provide all the necessary toiletries which were not my favorite. But having limited luggage space, I did not bring my own. Shower ran well with warm water and drained well. Pillows and bed were comfortable. Decor is a bit dark but didn't bother me. The decor of the third floor is much nicer and I hope the rest of the hotel is updated similarly. The pool area on the roof was closed for maintenance. Gym had necessary equipment but I didn't use it as I walked 20k steps per day sightseeing.

    Staff was great; location was very good. Hotel is getting very worn, the dust on the light fixtures in Petes looked like animals could live there. It is a very loud area, if you have an interior room there is much noise from surrounding buildings, street noise and next door neighbors on their patios. It's not quiet. It was a nice visit. Just be prepared, of but wait Lukes is across the street and that was fun.

One of my favorite moments was chatting with a gentleman in the lobby who helped with our luggage. We mentioned we were visiting from Pennsylvania, and he shared that his very first job was in Pennsylvania and actually knew our area. It was one of those authentic conversations that makes you feel more like a guest than just another room number. Our room in the older section was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Housekeeping and the nightly turndown service were exceptional. We also spent plenty of time at the pool, where the staff and bartender were fantastic. The drinks were great, the food hit the spot, and the Fourth of July pop-up DJ made for a really fun afternoon. The service was so personal that one of the bartenders recognized us by name when we ran into her on the street a few days later. The only miss during our stay was the famous Carousel Bar. We never managed to get seats at the actual carousel during our four nights--which is understandable given how popular it is and being the 4th of July weekend. We did sit just behind it. Unfortunately, the service there was noticeably unfriendly and felt completely out of step with the incredible hospitality we experienced everywhere else in the hotel. That one experience wasn't enough to overshadow an otherwise outstanding stay. Between the beautiful historic décor, unbeatable French Quarter location, easy access to everything, and a staff that truly cares about its guests, Hotel Monteleone absolutely lived up to the hype. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Where was the manager? My husband's CPAP requires electricity. Our phones died. It was a mess. After all New Orleans has been through, you would think they would have better contingency plans.

The 2 things I care most about when staying in a hotel is a comfortable night's rest and a good bathroom/shower. The bed in our room was the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on in my entire life. It was so mushy that when you laid your head down, you sunk so far into it that your legs were literally 45 degrees above your head. I ended up sleeping upside down in the bed with my head where your feet go in order to feel even remotely comfortable. The pillows were all extremely flat, when you put your head on one it sank so far your face was about 1/2 inch from the mattress. I had to use 3 pillows stacked on each other. I had a stiff back, neck and joints the entire time we were there. The 2nd issue was hot water. The first morning, we attempted to shower, it only got barely luke warm for me and when my husband showered immediately after he only got ice cold water. We stopped at the front desk that morning on our way out for the day and told the woman at the front desk. She said she hadn't received any other complaints so it must be specific to our room and she would send engineering there to look at it. (we were getting hot water in the sink). Later that evening when we returned to our room, we immediately tested the shower again and it was still ice cold. So we went back to the front desk to check if engineering had come. We spoke to the same woman from the morning who acted like it was the first time we were telling her this and she said the exact same thing. I asked if they were going to come ASAP because we needed to shower soon and we couldn't take ice cold showers. She ignored my question and answered the ringing phone. A manager happened to be at the desk and overheard our conversation. He asked what our room number was and said that because of the old building and the pipes the hot water takes longer to get there. He said this was a KNOWN Issue by the staff, management and the owner. He told us to run the shower for AT LEAST 15 to 20 minutes, simultaneously with the sink and it should get hot. He also offered to move us to a different room but when I asked if he could guarantee if we wouldn't have the same problem in that room he couldn't give me a straight answer. We had already unpacked everything and didn't want to go through that hassle without a guarantee. So we went back to the room and let it run for 20 minutes and it eventually got hot. So for the remaining 3 mornings, we had to set our alarms for 30 minutes earlier so we could get up and run our shower before hand. For nearly $300 a night, we felt that this was ridiculous. Old building or not, if its a problem, then either don't put people in those rooms, or get it fixed somehow. Why should anyone be subjected to an ice old shower or an inconvenience to their time because the owner hasn't done anything about it? We visited the hotel Bar, the Bourbon O'bar 3 times during our stay and each time we received TERRIBLE service. None of the bartenders were friendly to us, in fact they were pretty rude. Each time it took them at least 10 minutes to even take our order (by standing there and looking at us and not saying anything). The bar was not busy or crowded any of these times. They would then start making one of our drinks, put it down and make other people's drinks, leave and go into a back room, play on their cell phone, talk to each other, or carry the glass around while doing other things. My husband ordered an old fashioned and the alcohol was sitting in the jar with the ice for over 5 minutes while the bartender carried it around doing other things, causing it to get watered down. When making a cocktail, it should be completed from start to finish without doing other things in the middle. I ordered the Mardi Drop cocktail on 2 different days. The first time, it was actually very good. The 2nd time from a different bartender it was horrible .He also sprinkled probably a tablespoon of cinnamon on top of it (which the first didn't have) which made it nearly undrinkable. I had to stir it into the martini in order to not get a mouthful of cinnamon with each sip. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant Roux because of the bad Yelp reviews - we felt we could get a better breakfast elsewhere outside the hotel. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all unless you don't care about being comfortable or friendly service.

    We stayed at French Market Inn on our last trip to New Orleans and would definitely stay here…read moreagain. The location honestly made the trip so easy. We could walk to so many restaurants, shops, and things we wanted to do in the French Quarter without constantly needing a car or Uber. The courtyard was one of my favorite parts of the hotel. It's so pretty and peaceful to sit out there after a busy day walking around the city. The pool area was also really nice and made me wish we had packed swimsuits. We did have an issue with the AC when we first checked in. We came back to the room later and realized it still hadn't cooled down. Staff did send someone to look at it, but we sat around waiting for a while before finally being moved to another room. I just feel like that part could've been handled a little quicker. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. The room was nice, the location was great, and overall it was a really good experience.

Check in was easy and friendly. Past the lobby you exit into an open air courtyard where your room will be in 2 or 3 separate buildings. In the courtyard is the pool and sitting areas with trees. My building had 4 floors with an elevator. My room was nice. I had booked one of their windowless rooms and it was quiet. No outside traffic noises, sirens, etc. A fire station is close by. It had an exposed brick wall, comfortable bed and bathroom with a large walk in shower. I would get this room again. It was lower in cost and I don't think I missed anything not having a window and like I said it was quiet. This is a nice and well kept property with a great location. I would be happy to stay here again.

Just be prepared for the wall of noise if you're staying on a Friday and Saturday night and have a room facing Bourbon Street; you will need more than the sound machine and earplugs the hotel provides you. But if you're there to party hard on Bourbon Street at all the touristy bars, then you will be in your element. Depending on the side of the hotel you select when booking your room and the days you choose, you may be able to get away with just a sound machine and earplugs, or you may be getting too old and need to look elsewhere. If you stay on the courtyard side, you should have enough barriers to deflect the nonstop barrage of noise coming from all the bars and clubs on Bourbon Street, especially between Bienville and St. Ann, on a Friday and Saturday night particularly. We had a room on the third floor with a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street that gave us a great view and the opportunity to enjoy wine and cocktails as the festivities picked up steam throughout the afternoons of our stay. The bed was wicked comfortable. The set of drawers had plenty of space to put clothes with a small fridge for keeping drinks cool and leftovers from spoiling. The closet space was ample and was able to fit all of our hang-up clothing and our suitcases. There was a nice lounge chair next to the desk to chill if you didn't want to sit on the balcony. However, the bathroom was cramped and narrow with these weird double doors that could cause trouble if you are going to do business in the middle of the night. The water pressure wasn't great either and if you don't have the curtain positioned right then you're going to have a puddle. Housekeeping did come by to change our linens and provide fresh towels every day, which was appreciated. The front desk was very affable and accommodating, especially with holding out luggage when our room wasn't quite ready yet to check-in. And I liked that there was a security person checking people that were actually staying at the hotel to avoid stragglers, random drunks, and transients from entering. I didn't have the chance to use the pool while I was there, but we were busy walking around the French Quarter to really care. Same went with having anything in the restaurant for food. They did have the little mini mart on the ground floor that worked for when we needed more bottles of water that were larger than the complimentary ones. Accommodations at the hotel were solid, but just know if you stay here, you're experiencing the full Bourbon Street treatment. It is always loud at night, especially, on the weekends.

The Davenport Lounge features excellent, easy, accomplished jazz courtesy of Jeremy Davenport and his quartet most (but not all) evenings. The food in the restaurant is excellent (as is the service), and staff throughout the venue and spa are top notch - friendly, courteous, uniformly professional. One of the great things is location - it is a very short walk to the crazy of the French Quarter, but a block away - so you have the safety, privacy, and isolation from the party when you need it, you aren't confronted by it as soon as you walk out the door of the hotel, but you are just a short walk around the corner to everything the Quarter and Bourbon Street have to offer. As an historic building, the architecture and aesthetic is much closer to "elegant old New Orleans" than, say, the Four Seasons (very very modern, almost cold presentation) or, for example, the Royal Sonesta which is smack dab in the middle of the crazy. When we come back to NOLA, it will be to the Ritz Carlton.

But the staff at the Ritz were the most hospitable and welcoming set of people I have ever met. The concierge sent me texts and welcomed any requests I had. And the wonderful staff left a sweet treat in my room for my birthday. There was coffee served in the lobby every morning, and warm beignets served in the afternoons. I can't wait to come back to this gem! Thank you all for such a wonderful and much needed experience!
