My family and I had a great time at the Astor Crowne Plaza. Upon pulling up, Valet was quick to approach us, they were friendly and got us taken care of right away. Check in was quick and easy, we were checking in early, as Spire Elite members and beat the rush. At check in, she let us know she was upgrading us for being loyal Spire Elite Members. The Lobby was beautiful, adorned with luxurious furniture and paintings. There were several elevators to avoid congestion. Luggage service brought our bags up to our room - It was beautiful, spacious and clean. When first walking into the suite you had a living area, complete with a table and chairs, sofa bed, 2 chairs, a coffee table, and a tv stand with a large flat screen tv, down the hall you have a closet and the bathroom, and finally the bedroom,the ceiling height raises significantly and the floor to ceiling window treatments make the room feel so grand. The bed was comfortable and we received a very lovely welcome note and snack from Madison, an agent from the hotel. There was a coffee maker in the suite and the room service menu was extremely reasonable. The location can not be beat, it is right at the corner of Canal and Bourbon Street and it provided a great base for our trip exploring the french quarter. Everything we did was a quick walk so we honestly left our car in valet the entire trip.
