First of all, that "resort fee" seems like such a scam, I don't get it, I thought it was abusive. And it was also abusive how the price went so high over the days, which made us stay there for only two nights instead of three. But besides that, staff was really nice and, even though we had a room... More

Just below average three star in a good location. Not even a pool to justify a "resort fee". And the toilet paper is s**++y. Staff is ok and friendly, but sometimes shorthanded. While there is really no restaurant, it is close to some good ones.

We booked this hotel in August 2011 for the Final Four in March 2012. The price had been inflated, but all New Orleans hotels did the same. It was in a good location near the French Quarter, casino, and Superdome. It is in need of some decorating help. We were on the 2 nd floor, street side, and it was... More

The hotel is only decent, although the location adjacent to the French Quarter and on a trolley line is convenient. The rooms are small and nothing special. Beware that they charge a mandatory "value added package" of $8.95 per night for things that should be complimentary (long distance, wi-fi, and access to the business center (a super-slow computer) and fitness...

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The first time was in 2004. Since then, the hotel has been renovated. I love that the trolley stop is right outside the door if you want to head to the Garden District area. There is another trolley stop right around the corner for heading to the cemetery district....

My husband and I stayed at the Royal St. Charles on Friday, March 30 before the Final Four. We arrived around 6 p.m. and had no problems whatsoever getting the valet service and check-in taken care of. Hotels in the Quarter were limited because of the Final Four, but we were able to book this one and an attractive rate.... More

We had made reservations weeks ago to stay at the Royal St. Charles Hotel. The room rate we were quoted was the same at check in; howver, instead of the $29.00 valet parking fee, we were charged $40.00 because there was a "final four" going on and there was the extra charge for an event fee. I was not happy... More

We booked this room on Priceline over a month in advance. After booking, we called to request 2 double beds because we were traveling with another couple. We were told "no problem." We called a day prior and again were told our request would be granted. Upon arrival, we were informed only a king bed was available. Unfortunately, four 30-something... More

We stayed here after we got back from our cruise. The hotel and rooms were clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. They charge you an automatic $8 service fee for long distance calls an wifi. So my wife and I both called our families back in Canada. Overall nice hotel and would return.
