I stayed here for a week this past summer for a conference that was in the hotel. It was perfect. I actually didn't leave the hotel for the first three days because everything I needed was onsite (plus the long conference days). The lobby was cozy yet active and made for a nice hang out in the evenings. The hotel provided a huge area for the conference so we never felt cramped even with the hundreds of people. The catered food was pretty good - better than the standard rubber chicken, but nothing memorable, either. When I was up in the room, I wouldn't have known how busy the hotel was because it was quiet and little traffic in the hallways. The rooms were the standard business fare, but the view was fabulous. I had a western facing room on a really high floor so had an unhindered view of some really nice sunsets.

When I did leave the hotel, I first stopped by the front desk to ask where the nearest convenience store was, to which I was told just a block and a half up the main street. I asked if it was ok to walk (I'm a youngish female and I was alone - I like to ask!) and he kinda paused and then said I'd be fine if I was back by dark. Soo... not sure if it's all the best area or if he was being overly cautious. I did leave several more times with a larger group and it was all great. We walked to the aquarium once, and then a few times up the other direction to Bourbon Street. Both pretty close. Passed a casino that was close, as well as a Pinkberry.

All in all, pretty good stay.

I have stayed in over five hotels during my few trips to New Orleans and I must say even with construction going on, this was one of the best and most enjoyable hotels. Service was great, room was superior, the gym and pool...amazing. This will be my go to hotel. Don't be swayed by the better ratings found for fancier hotels, they are just not cutting it like the Sheraton.

I stayed here with my hubby and another couple. It was clean and good staff were friendly, but not to many choices for eating and they told us you cant have a bite or coffee from other places in the lobby wich was frustrating. Its not of their bussiness if im eating a bagel from outside if you dont have any other choice except for a frikishly loooong line in starbucks. And to make it worst no wifi. At least the bottled water was free.

The location, staff, and rooms are all awesome. I really enjoy staying at the Sheraton but something is odd regarding the smell of the lobby, esp. near the elevators. I noticed it last time we were here and this stay it reminded me of the stench. Basically, its an odd smell of carpet cleaner - other than that this place is great.
