negative:
Expensive valet parking service.
Residence Inn New Orleans Downtown offers a valet parking service but no self-parking option. Some guests find the valet service to be on the expensive side, choosing instead to find less expensive public parking nearby.
negative:
Some find beds to be uncomfortable.
While many guests enjoy a comfortable stay, others report that the hotel's beds are not as comfortable as they would like, making it difficult to enjoy a quality night of sleep. The same criticism has been leveled at pull-out sofa beds, which can be found in some suites.
negative:
30-minute walk from Bourbon Street.
While many find the hotel to be conveniently positioned, others are disappointed that the property isn't closer to the French Quarter. The famed Bourbon Street is approximately 30 minutes away on foot, a walk that proves too much for some visitors.
