We stayed 2 nights Jan 11 and 12, 2013.This is not the standard Marriott Courtyard. The rooms have a bedroom and living room with 2 TV,s and refrig. No tubs, shower only. Barn doors on bath and bed rooms were different, but not a problem.The rooms give an updated look to high cieling rooms from an older hotel. We stayed at the Pere Marquette(A Marriott Hotel) a year ago, for more$$$, this is way better, location and newer(remodel is newer). We liked this courtyard over the Pere. Location was excellent, Rooms are totally redone. It is a very short safe walk to Burbon Street, one block off of Canal Street. We did not use the resturant on site. We did have a couple of drinks at the bar before going out, very generous on the drinks. I did see other reviews about water problems, we did not experience this, although the day we were checking out the water was being shut down for some reason. ( They notified us when we checked in.) No self sevice morning coffee, Free internet in lobby. Wireless in rooms( we did not use the wireless). We also have stayed at the other Courtyard a few blooks away, we stayed here because of price, I would reccomend this hotel to my freinds. We did not have a car, so did not use the parking service.

I think it's important to know that the rooms look like the newer photos provided by the hotel. Don't let the photos of outdated rooms deter you (as they almost did me) -- before booking I called the hotel to verify all rooms have been renovated/updated, and our room looked like almost exactly like their photos. Also they call this courtyard 'downtown' but it's really on the edge of the French Quarter -- not downtown.

In another city this hotel would probably score a 3 (average), but compared to other hotels in the French Quarter area that were priced similarly this was a fantastic deal and more updated option with modern conveniences. It is also attached to the Ritz Carlton so you have access to their amenities as well. It is within easy walking distance of bourbon street (2 blocks) but away from the crazy crowds. We also had a good view of the city. There were no noise issues but it was early January so the area wasn't as busy as during other times of year.

Pros:
Friendly Marriott staff
Proximity to French Quarter sights (*I don't mind walking so we walked everywhere but some people may not find this close enough to what they want to see so review your map carefully if you plan to leave your car)
Clean, decent sized rooms
Nice fitness center
Free wi-fi which was somewhat hard to find in the French Quarter hotels

Cons:
Slow room service - they didn't come until around 2pm, but did respond quickly when called
Confusing hotel layout - not a big issue but thought I'd mention it. You may want to get a room near the elevator.
Sliding door with no lock - a minor annoyance for me, but like others have said it's not ideal

The bathroom has a barn-style door you slide open/close, not a pocket door. No fan for odor or moisture removal. Shower only, no tub. Hot water only gets "warm." Big window, but even on the 7th floor, a lot of street noise. I wish during remodel they would invest in better sound-proof windows. Good free wifi in room (with passcode), good computer station with printer in lobby. I am loyal Marriott member, so I was disappointed and would not stay here again. Although website indicates spa (it is at nearby Ritz-Carleton, $25/day and was broken during my stay which neither website mentioned.

we stayed at the courtyard marriott ibervlle 12/7-12/13/12 and loved both the hotel and new orleans french quarter. the staff is friendly particulary at the front desk. we had very good customer service particulary from ebony at the front desk who was kind enough to place us on an 8th floor room which was quieter and had views. the rooms were nicely furnished, very clean and quiet. the hotel itself is centrally located in the wonder french quarter and easily withing walking distance to great shops, restaurants, bars, nightlife etc and far away enough from the very noisy bourbon street. i would very much recommend a stay at the couryard narrott iberville.
