Review of Blake Hotel New Orleans

First of all, we booked online and the pictures do...

First of all, we booked online and the pictures do NOT represent what we got. Our room was maybe an 8x8 room. Thank goodness we were going to spend most of our time out of the hotel. There is NO onsite parking. We knew we would have to pay for parking, but they told us to go 5 blocks away to park, so we drove there and paid for parking for a week, only to realize on the walk back to the Blake that there's a parking garage half a block away from the hotel!!! The worst part is this had to be the worst parking garage ever! The corners are so tight and we witnessed the valet drivers driving erratically and super fast around corners EVERY TIME! Do not trust them with your car. The bathroom sink was dirty under the rim. The rest of the room was very clean. The hotel restaurant only serves basic food. We couldn't even get a steak. The Lafayette chicken dish was good, however, but the Angus Steak was simply a Salisbury steak covered in gravy. The elevators felt like they were going to crash to the bottom every time you got on them...very rickety. No amenities really at this hotel (they do have a gym on the top level). Basically, New Orleans has so many other hotels to stay at with way better amenities for just a little more.
