The hotel's location is conveniently located downtown and the staff was super friendly. The casino and club is right across the street. The amenities such as the pool and gym was really nice, one of the bigger ones I've seen in NOLA hotels. Also, for those who like to go running in the morning, the hotel is nice enough to... More

I'm not accustomed to W hotels, so I'm not sure if some of the reviewers are right about this not being up to par, but as someone who enjoys luxury hotels, I had no complaints. The hotel is obviously not brand-new, but my room was gorgeous, the bathroom spacious and beautiful, love the ipod dock and the Bliss products. Spent... More

Just spent three days at this hotel in a suite. While the staff and the lobby were nice, the rooms are not. Seems like everything in the rooms is slowly falling apart and they haven't been updated since the hotel opened. There were stains all over the carpets and the couch. The bathrooms were the worst with rust on nearly... More

We typically stay at W Hotels regardless of where we travel, but the Poydras Street W well exceeded all expectations. From the Bell Captains (Lawrence, Kevin & Tony) to both the Consierges to the Welcome Desk Manager (Joseph), everyone totally makes you feel at home! The gym has great excercise equipment including a hanging bag. And the pool/cabana's rocks! Love... More

I stayed for 4 nights in May 2012. Hotel lobby, registration, and bars were funky, modern and sleek. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had a great view of the Mississippi River.

W was a great location for first trip to New Orleans. Staff was friendly and for those that like walking French Quarter was great shopping. Nightlife was great and easy to get to. As a single traveler it was a great safe place to stay.
