For the amount of money I paid for the room, I was expecting a little more than an up scale motel. If your looking for something clean and better than your average holiday in, than this is the hotel for you if your willing to fork up the extra money, but if your looking for fluffy down comforters and lots of pillows DON’T STAY HERE. There is a double tree a few blocks away.
The staff was very friendly if you could actually find them. Maybe it was just Mardi Gras, but they were quite illusive, especially on the phone. Expect the phone to ring for a few minutes before you get an answer from the front desk.
They have a restaurant, but it is outrageously expensive. $12.00 for breakfast seemed a little steep for me, and the food is NOT worth the money.
If you are not an early riser don’t stay on the east side of the building, because the curtains are sheer and you will get a great view of the sunrise whether you like it or not. Also, housekeeping is particularly over zealous and will continually knock on your door from about 7:00am on.
If you are going to New Orleans for an event at the convention center though, you couldn't find a better location. It is well within a very short walk from the hotel.

The hotel location was great for access to the convention center; however, it was quite a walk to the parade routes (went during Mardi Gras) and the French Quarter. There are plenty of reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance though I wouldn't recommend walking alone at night.
Overall the hotel was very clean and the snack bar downstairs was a life saver, even if it is a bit pricey. The staff was friendly and helpful; when we could get their attention as it was very hard to get them on the phone, even from our room.
Since it was Mardi Gras, the parking situation was less than desirable. We had to park in a poorly designed parking garage in which the elevator was broken for $30 a day, the hotel refused to validate our parking but offered to refund us the difference between the garage and valet (approx. $8 a day).
The beds were pretty hard and the walls were thin. Since we had a east facing room the sun came pouring in through the sheer curtains at around 6 every morning, which is about the same time that housekeeping decided to knock on our door (put the Do Not Disturb sign before you go to sleep).
--Bottom Line--
It was a decent hotel, but not what i expected from a Hilton, especially for the amount of money I paid. We will not stay at this location again.

The valet service left my car on the street for 6 HOURS!!!!!!! I was walking out of the hotel to meet my friend at the riverwalk for dinner and found that my car had been left on the street since I checked in over 6 hours ago!!!! I complained to the front desk and was told their was no room in the garage. I replied that their must have been room when I checked in over 6 hours ago. They were very rude and I don't know if my car ever made it to the garage, it was probably around the corner. The restaruant was so-so but overpriced for what it was. The rooms were nice and well furnished. This hotel had wind-only damage from Katrina, no flood damage.

A very good hotel for the price I paid, 119.00. You have to walk a little ways to get the Bourbon Street experience. But, it is well worth the quietness at night.
