The rooms are clean with (some) great views (careful of the upgrade fee, I paid it initially and my 'view' was in between two large buildings, directly above the pool -where even 16 floors up I could hear the screams of children playing and the giant fans underneath my window). They allowed me to switch rooms with no problem, but lost the swimsuit I accidentally left drying on the back of the first room's bathroom door...how these things go missing I'll never understand...
The pool felt small, but the deck was very large and a bar at the pool with complimentary water is nice.
The elevator system is fun until you're there for a conference and it doesn't realize 2500 ppl are trying to get up/down and keeps calling the same car over & over....the hallways are open to the 32 story atrium which I enjoyed. It's a bitt of a walk to bourbon or Frenchman street, about an $8 uber, so I'd stay somewhere closer if those are your main points if interest. A street car goes right past the front of the hotel, but you need exact change to ride.
About a 15 min walk to the WW2 museum and across the street from superdome & smoothie king center.
Comolintary late checkout available and a luggage room so you can still enjoy your last day in NOLA!
