“Expensive and Very, Very Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

Probably one of the better hotels in the area, but that's not saying much. Rooms are a bit dark and dingy but clean enough. Bathroom is clean but my window leaks during rain. Half the machines in the fitness room broken and not fixed despite complaints from several guests. No free breakfast, you have to pay for it and the selection of food is quite greasy and unhealthy. The adjoining bar is quite OK and the food is good if you like burgers and ribs etc. Staff are friendly in a standard, customer-service sort of way but do not seem to take up any issues seriously. I would stay here again because there is not much else around, but if a Springhill Suites opened up in Metarie I would be out of here like a shot.

Room Tip: Get a room away from the elevators due to noise. Rooms on the north side of the hotel are cold durin...

“Great staff at the front desk and shuttle driver.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

Everyone was super friendly. The front desk night crew were great. Rooms were clean and orderly. Only suggestion is add some chaulk to the bathroom joints. It gives a nice crisp look for little cost. Room was comfortable and clean.

“it is a HI after all..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

very clean, staff was amazing in every way. Restaurant was better than average, but in NOLA that is only adequate. Still, no complaints about anything. 15 minutes to the Quarter, and about that to the Garden District. Terrific combination of location, quality, and value.

“Great hotel and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel located very close to the downtown area. Great value. The staff there is wonderful but what has been suprising is the restaurant. The food was very good as well as the service. We will be staying there on our next trip to New Orleans.

“Excellent pre-cruise stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

Stayed one night at the Holiday Inn as a pre-cruise hotel. Had a wonderful and relaxing time at this hotel before my Dec 16th cruise on NCL.

The hotel was clean and the staff wonderful. The shuttle bus for the cruise terminal left at 10am. It first stops at the carnival port and then NCL. The hotel contracts the shuttle bus with a cajun tour company. For NCL, the shuttle bus drops and picks you up at the Julia Street Terminal door one. Took the easy walk-off from NCL, at 7.30am and was at door one at 8am. The shuttle bus showed up at about 8.20am and was not full. Managed to get to my car and on the road by about 8.50am from the hotel.

This hotel gives you vouchers for two free cocktails in the bar. The bar lady, forget her name, was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. The beds in my room, one the 4th floor, were the best that I have ever slept on.

Will stay at this hotel for future cruises.
