• Nice decor in lobby. Starbucks in lobby.
• Toilet ran all night. Staff not very helpful or nice. Construction noise lower flowers.

“Nice overall hotel. But beds were too small, toilet ran all day and night, construction noise on lower floors, toilet was dirty when I first got the room (then changed rooms), parking extremely expensive, food pricey (but pretty good). Nice if you'd like to be in the downtown area -- away from noise from French quarter.”

• Nice lobby, very clean, nice staff and liked the location right next to Bourbon Street, but could sleep at night.
• The bed was not comfortable. Hampton Inn has a better bed.

“The hotel overall was above average. The lobby was of a 4-5 star hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Small yet cozy. My only problem was the bed. It was not very comfortable. Even Hampton Inn has a better bed. Need to upgrade mattress. Other than that very pleasant experience. Stayed on Bourbon Street before very loud nice to be a block away, but there was construction going on in the next building.”

• Convenient location, nice room, and
  good value.
• Pool and gym were
  too small, should have better internet access.

“Modernized old-style hotel on edge of French-quarter. Convenient to Bourbon St, Medical Center and Superdome. Well maintained rooms with nice, large bathrooms, high ceilings and big windows. Most smiling and helpful hotel staff I have ever seen. Gym and pool could be bigger.”

• The staff was extremely nice and all seemed to work well together. The public areas were beautiful.
• You had to pass bums in the street to get to the hotel. Not the hotel's fault.

• The designing of the rooms and lounges.
• The elevators but I don't like them anyway.

“The first thing I noticed was that the rooms were a little small, but that did not matter. It is a very elegant hotel in a good area, if you want to be close to everything. I would definitely recommend.”

• Sound-proof rooms!

“The first night we checked in, we were given a corner room with a Murphy bed. The room was cold, but the HVAC unit would only drove me crazy. There were no extra blankets in the room, so we took some of the bath towels and used them on top of the blanket. Once situated in bed, after a long day of travel, the clicker didn't work, but I was too tired to deal with it. I definitely felt they gave us the worst room in the hotel. The front desk also told us we could park on the street on Saturday and Sunday, but we promptly got a ticket. After the first night fiasco, the stay was lovely.”

• Nothing.
• Ultra-rude desk clerk gave us a closet-size corner room that could not even fit a cot.

“Awful experience. Rude clerks, long wait to check in or check out. Avoid this hotel at all costs.”

• Great location, great city views.
• Expensive parking, historic hotel but also historic rooms.

“Marriott and Renaissance almost always run a first class show and this property is no exception. This is a historic property and accept that one can only do so much in modernizing space from the 1920s. You will find a nice ambiance and considerate staff--a Marriott trademark. There is free internet in the lobby. This is a very well-located property less than two blocks to Bourbon street, but in a quiet area. Parking was high at $28, but there is a parking garage close by for $20 a day. The property also has a nice Club Level lounge which is closed on Saturdays.”

• Comfortable bedding.
• No free parking and breakfast.

“We enjoyed our stay, nice staff and a lovely hotel; I am getting a bit spoiled with complimentary breakfast. I don't like to pay for parking, especially 30.oo a night. But with the exception of these issues I enjoyed our stay.”

• Great atmosphere.
• Price for parking.

“Very nice and right in the middle of all New Orleans action, we were able to catch a street car right up the street. They could have had a few more amenities for the price.”

• When there is a complaint to the front desk they do address the problem seriously.
• I didn't like seeing stains on the upholstery and dirty lounge tables while visiting the coffee shop on the first floor.

“Well, for the most part my stay went well. The lounge area was disappointing because the chairs and sofas were stained and the tables were left dirty everyday on visits there. I had a problem with my room imperfectly cleaned, hair in the tub, trash not emptied, stains in the carpet from the previous occupant, stains on the upholstery, and dingy sheets which was corrected with one complaint. The housekeeping supervisor came by and offered her assistance and compensation for my dissatisfaction. The vicinity of the hotel was chaos because street blockages may it difficult to enter the hotel, but the upside was my experience at the lobby's Starbucks. The service was above average and the area was clean. That made my mornings!”

• Good location off of canal street & Bourbon St.
• The hotel failed to accommodate my companion's feather allergy.

“The hotel is located one block off of canal street and Carondelet (becomes Bourbon street when it crosses canal) making it a great walking hotel to see the French Quarter. It lacks free Wi-Fi so business travelers be warned.”

• Great service by bellman; clever room wall prints- using room # and local street address numbers - nice touch.
• Older hotel not completely updated - ex. outdoor pool facilities.

“We were satisfied with the overall experience at this hotel, the Renaissance Peer Marquette; it is in the midst of a remodel and we found a broken window, a light fixture that remained on in our room, and a pool area not well maintained with old, well worn furniture; hotel personnel were quick to remedy our problems (we were quickly relocated to another room) and were very friendly and willing to assist with any of our needs; the location, one block back from Canal Street, and only two blocks from the French Quarter was perfect for us; we did not make use of the restaurant (did not even see it; the hotel was fully booked but remained very quiet at night; amenities such as room size, bed furnishings, bathroom area, access to internet, etc. were excellent; the club lounge was well stocked and accessible (after an initial glitch with the elevator key card mechanism); overall a good hotel, but not yet up the 4 star rating of most Renaissance hotels.”

• Comfort of room and friendliness of staff.
• One of two telephones in room did not work and was not repaired. Face towel holder was inconveniently located and noisy.

“A luxurious post-modern hotel in the New Orleans business district and just across Canal Street from the historic French Quarter. Beautiful, well-appointed rooms with comfortable beds. Parking available at prevailing local daily rates with in-and-out privileges. Internet access, but at charge. Because of construction in area, pedestrian access can be somewhat difficult. Fitness center has aerobic machines and swimming pool, but no sauna. Bar area was rented out for noisy private party on one of my two nights.”

• The AC in our room was poorly designed; it never cooled the entire room.

“Great hotel, the buildings AC system has problems. We ran the AC at 68 the whole time and our room we were still warm while sleeping. The room was a bit muggy the whole time, too. They forgot to put shampoo in the bathroom the first night, and they forgot toilet paper on another night.”

• I liked the design of the lobby and the cool jazzy feel of the entrance of the hotel.
• I did not like the picture of a tomb inside my bathroom and I did not like the fact that my hotel room did not have a bathtub just a stand in shower.

“The hotel itself stands true to the reputation of the Marriott chain. Only issues I had with the hotel was the high price you had to pay for valet parking. The bellman's attitude upon entrance of the hotel was a little damper. The stain on the floor room 1412 is terrible.”

• Close to Canal Street.
• TV was not in front of the bed. It was in a corner.

“We booked a Deluxe King room. When we got to our room we were at first delighted until we got actually in the door. The bathroom was the best part of the entire room. The bed was a Queen and not at all comfortable. The air was not great. We got hot quick. Was barely enough room in front of the bed to walk around. Nice view. Big desk that didn't belong. TV was not in a good place. You couldn't watch TV comfortably from your bed. I would have rather had a bed in the bathroom.”

“A very nice hotel in a great location. Two blocks from French Quarter but on a quiet business street. Rooms were fairly large and nicely furnished. Staff was friendly. Valet parking is high priced at $28 per night. The restaurant was also expensive for breakfast, but we found a very inexpensive dive (Dixie Gyro) just around the corner that had a nice breakfast for $6. Some of the reviews I read before the trip mentioned construction in the lobby but we didn't see any construction during our stay.”
