SHERATON NEW ORLEANS HOTEL - Updated 2022 Prices & Reviews (LA)

PROS: At Canal street, 3 minutes away walking from the crazy Bourbon street. Nice large rooms, never slept so high in my life (43th floor), fast elevator you feel the pressure diferences, makes almost your ears pop, wonderful view over the city and the Mississipi, small swimming pool to enjoy up to 21h00 (towels provided in self service, next to the pool). Now the CONS: Queuing at the front desk despite 4 workers available (they were friendly though during the interaction with me). Left my room at 10h00 in the morning, no one tidied up the room, when I came back in the late evening (and no, I didn't leave the "privacy please" sign outside). Shampoo dispenser not working. Drainage problems in the tub. Room phone disconnected from the line. This only shows that the staff doesn't check every detail in a room, as expected between guest changes. Breakfast Buffet, with lots, and I mean really lots of waiters and waitresses, but people queuing to be seated, despite that there are lots of available tables and seats. It was a complete non-efficient non-sense/lack of organizational skills. They should just let people sit down, as in any other hotel, and then ask what they want to drink. And the buffet, ha ha ha. I'm sorry but I can't call it even a buffet. I wanted to say that 2-3 star hotels in Europe have better buffets, but even that would be insulting to the European (and probably US counterparts). And I'm not being ironic, I really mean it. You have like 4 warm dishes, there were 4 slices of toast, about 10 slices of ham, no fruit to be seen, some fresh milk on ice, with processed cereals packages next to it, 2-3 bagels. I mean all the food available would fit comfortably on my dining table. I mean this hotel has probably over 500, but the bread/bagel box is as big as the one my mother had home and it was only the two of us back then. The buffet available at a French "Première classe" hotel is opulent in comparison (and probably 95% of French people would refuse to stay in a Première classe hotel...). Now I'm being picky, but it even has a Starbucks inside. Maybe I'm just too old-fashioned, but in Europe no Sheraton hotel would even consider to have such a shop near its premises, not to mention inside its lobby. Or probably the definition of Sheraton in the US is really different from the one in Europe, but it was sad to see this.…

Room Smelled like Marijuana and was Dirty

I booked this hotel due to there being a convention onsite. Upon arrival, the AC wasn't cooling well, the floors and sheets where dirty and room smelled like Marijuana. I didn't even bother asking for another room. I just asked I not be charged for the hr or so I was there and canceled my stay. There was no concern expressed by the desk, no trying to talk me into staying, etc. Based on this and other reviews, seems this is probably the norm. We stayed 1 block over at the JW Marriott. Wonderful rooms, clean, smell great, either new or newly remodeled and for roughly the same cost per night.

Avoid if possible

We stayed here last week for a conference (located at the hotel). Our first room smelled strongly of marijuana smoke; the hotel did move us to another room down the hall when we reported this. Both rooms were small and dirty. Due to the design of the building, rooms are quite dark during the day, with one narrow floor to ceiling window at the end of one wall, but the shutters provided as a window covering also didn't block light well at night. Noise from the street was clearly audible. Carpets had stains, pictures were missing from the wall (we could see the hooks still in place and were able to compare the first and second room's picture arrangement), and furnishings were battered, dented, and scratched. Interestingly, the first room had a refrigerator and the second did not: I'm not sure which was the outlier. The bathroom was tiny and the water pressure was low, though we did not have any problems with hot water. Parking was expensive: valet was $48/day and self-parking was $45/day, so we opted to valet, which was very slow. We were unimpressed with this hotel and would not stay here again, even if business travel takes us back to New Orleans in the future. We wished we could have left after the first night and moved to another Bonvoy hotel in the area. …

Beware - they charged my credit card despite booking free cancellation and won’t correct it

I booked a no deposit free cancellation stay for September 2022, and the still billed me for one night stay (which was outside of the reservations’s cancellation terms). Now they claim they never charged me anything, even though it’s on my credit card bill. Very deceitfully behaviour for what is supposed to be a reputable hotel. They have taken no ownership to resolve, and are almost impossible to contact. Beware before you book with them! I now have to deal with disputing a transaction with my credit card. What a hassle!!!!

Serviceable and central, but could be much better

I stayed 3 nights while attending an event at the convention center (a long distance away, but hotels near the convention center aren't near much of anything else). Love the location -- very central. All the staff I dealt with were friendly. Room is basic, but functional (except for one detail below). Bathroom is quite dated and low-ceilinged (not a problem for me, but shower would probably bother anyone close to 6 feet tall). Plumbing was a mix -- shower had good pressure, but diverter was poor so always lots of water coming from bath. Toilet didn't seem to hold water in the bowl. Would have benefited from an overhead or shower light. Hotel overall seemed pleasant. The elevators (the type where you enter the floor and are directed to your elevator) worked well. No security system, but they did post someone checking keys late a night. If not for the problem I experienced, it would be a solid 3-star property that with some work could improve to four stars. But when I arrived in my room it was clear there was a problem with the front entry light. The light sensor worked, but the timer was set to about 20 seconds. More annoying still, it would go on and off about once a minute when I was working at the desk. I would have just turned it off, but somehow even that would reset and go back into sensor mode. Very annoying, but seemingly easy to fix (these switches usually have a dial inside to set the time they're on; some can be put into manual mode, which would have been much better). I tried four times to get this fixed. Twice I called guest services, and each time was reassured that an engineer was being sent to come. Nobody came. The next morning I used the Bonway app to chat with guest services and ask again. Nothing. Tried one last time that evening. And asked for a follow-up call from a manager. Nothing. Gave up. I ended up unscrewing the light so it would bug me (though that meant I had to leave a lamp on when I went out in the evening), and disappointed with the level of service. I realized that this was not isolated. There were other disconnects. I checked in on the app which seemed to serve no purpose at all (they never assigned a room until I arrived at the hotel, and they wouldn't issue a digital key until I'd presented ID and a credit card). The app claimed you could use the key to enter the street-side entrance after it closed for the night -- but that didn't work (neither did the physical key). A lot of things that could probably be solved with attentive management, an overhaul, and some training. At the right price, I'd stay again. But I'd be looking first at other hotels in the hopes of a better experience.…

Tired and Wore Out

This is a tired hotel. The decir is tired, the carpets are worn, wallpaper is peeling and soap dispensers fall off the bathroom wall. Maybe that’s why the staff seems tired too. But, you would think for a conference hotel, they would at least have laundry service; ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SAY SO ON THEIR WEBSITE!!! I’m tired of hotels promising things they won’t deliver on. If you want a Marriott property, go across the street to Marriott Nee Orleans.

Better than expected

After reading so many bad reviews I was more than a little nervous at staying at the Sheraton. But we didn’t have a choice because the room was booked for us for a conference. But I was nervous for nothing. This hotel wonderful. We were able to check in by 10:30 am. I know this is unusual and we were grateful. The staff throughout our entire stay was friendly and helpful. Including front desk, bellmen, cleaning and general staff walking about. Our room was excellent, clean, comfortable bed, plenty of towels, plenty of hot water and a great view (3722). Location was perfect for walking everywhere. My only downside was the water pressure felt like I was showering in an RV with a trickle of water. And our room had an odor but I think that is typical NOLA. Don’t be afraid of the bad reviews. You will enjoy your stay.…

I had much higher expectations

Compared to other high end hotel chains, this was a thorough disappointment. The room we were stuck with (1611) is literally next to the elevators. The second issue was a leaking pipe in the bathroom. We called maintenance and were told the only way to fix it was to turn off water to the entire hotel. That sounded like a blatant lie to me. We asked to switch rooms and were told the only room we could move to had single beds. Sounded like another blatant lie. The room was noisy and we used half our towels mopping water in the bathroom. I talked to other wedding guests that stayed at the Sheraton and didn’t have problems with their rooms. I know they had the same group rate but we just got stuck with a terrible room. My previous trip we stayed down the street at the Westin (a much better experience).…

Lost its' charm

I stayed in this hotel 20+ years ago for a Jazz Fest and thought it was perfect. Checked in for the Final Four. Staying on points as a Bonvoy Titanium. Upgraded to an executive suite for 5 night stay (SNA), room was spotless and large. Status was acknowledged, and club level access was provided. Televisions worked well, were SMART to a certain extent and daily service was offered and we opted for every other day. Service never happened. It was not required, but definitely not happening. We ran into our housekeeper on last day as we had a late checkout and she showed me that we were not on her list. We were provided with a daily care package of towels though and robes. Room service was good. Breakfast buffet that was free with status was awful. North Carolina team hotel, Ran into coaches, players and icons in the Club Lounge, they were very kind and courteous to my 15yo The major issue at the hotel was water pressure and temperature. At peak use times there was no hot water and almost no water pressure. Think a triple of tepid water Bar lounge area was nice and market was ok. Not comparable to others in the area. Room was very nice, up high, amazing river view. Furniture was updated. Wet bar worked well. Fridge provided worked well. We had fun, but the shower thing was a big problem The rate for a non award stay was around $800/night. Not really worth it, in a town with tons of options. 3 or 4 other Bonvoy properties within a block or 2. …
