Negative Reviews
negative:
Some noise
While the location of the hotel is undoubtedly exciting, being in the heart of New Orleans does come with some background noise. Reviews suggest that the noise that can be heard from the rooms is not excessive, but they are not exactly tranquil either.
negative:
Extra costs can add up
Rates at Marriott hotels are not exactly at the lower end of the scale, so a number of guests were rather disappointed to have to pay extra for essentials like breakfast and Wi-Fi. The charge for valet parking (the only available parking option) also attracts some negative comments.
negative:
Occasional issues
While reviews of this hotel are typically positive, the odd complaint crops up. There doesn't appear to be too much to worry about, though, as these complaints are generally about one-off or minor issues. There are some comments about construction, but this work is now completed.
