Holiday Inn Express New Orleans East, an IHG Hotel (New Orleans, USA)

For people who don't want to stay in the center of New Orleans, they liked this hotel. Since it is farther outside the city (approximately 10 miles or 15-minute drive to the French Quarter) they claim it's not as expensive or as crowded as other locations may be.

Guests mentioned that the staff is extremely welcoming. They also do a good job of being helpful with their guests if they had issues with the hotel or visitors need information about the area.

Guests like the free breakfast buffet. They enjoyed the choices and taste. They also enjoyed the complementary refreshments and hors d'oeuvres that are offered during the afternoon hours. So although you won't find a restaurant on-site, guests say they like the little food extras the hotel provides.

Some guests replied finding stained sheets. Others mentioned mold in the bathroom ceilings. Some carpets appear dirty according to a few visitors. However, the majority of visitors had no issues here and they found the location to be rather clean.

Guests mentioned that there seems to be odd maintenance issues here and there. Some visitors mentioned a lack of hot water or hairdryers that didn't work. Others stated the air-conditioning unit can be loud. A few guests cited their refrigerators were a bit noisy. In short, there doesn't seem to be one presiding issue, but rather lots of little ones that equal an annoying stay for some guests.

Some guests mentioned that the rooms don't smell very fresh. Others mentioned that non-smoking rooms have lingering scents of cigarettes. So for those with sensitive noses, you may want to bring along some air fresheners.
