Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the W Marriott felt like time traveling to a historic and beautiful setting. While the back of the house offered a quieter escape, the only downside was the small room size. The service was excellent, with helpful and friendly staff making sure all our needs were met. The location was perfect, being central to all the must-see attractions yet away from the noisy Bourbon Street. The dining experience, although very ornate and pretty, was a letdown for me, with limited options that were not up to expectations. The facilities were top-notch, making my overall experience delightful.
I couldn't help but love the charming hotel with its beautiful stained glass windows, stunning wallpaper, and high ceilings. The rooms, though small and oddly-shaped, were cute and decorative. The service here was exceptional, with friendly staff always offering cold bottled water. The location, on a quiet street in the French Quarter, was perfect for an authentic NOLA experience. The dining experience was very ornate and old but somewhat let down, although they make great made-to-order sandwiches.
For our 25th wedding anniversary, we chose this hotel with stunning stained glass windows and a beautiful chandelier. The room was small, but the high ceilings and balcony access made it special. The hotel's historic charm and central location in the French Quarter were exceptional, even though it felt a bit tired. The ornate dining room was lovely, but the limited breakfast options were a letdown.
The hotel rooms were small but luxurious, though slightly overpriced. The service was accommodating and friendly. The location was excellent, right in the middle of the French Quarter with good restaurants nearby.
Our 25 years wedding anniversary stay at the hotel was a mix of spacious and beautiful rooms but also some very small spaces. The service was fabulously attentive and fun, despite stories in the middle of the night. The location was perfect for an authentic NOLA experience, but the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with ornate but limited options.
