Blake Hotel New Orleans, BW Signature Collection

Quite a surprise for a Best Western Priemer hotel. Taylor made getting a last minute room easy. Valet parking is $50.00 Dollars Extra, but the Valet service was good. But if you use a parking lot/garage it's higher and you have to walk to and from the hotel. Room was very nice and clean. Room 310 had a view of St. Charles avenue and the passing Street Cars. NO free breakfast comes with this hotel, but connected to the hotel is "Cafe on the Square". A Great Breakfast , Lunch and Dinner restaurant, with good service. We stayed one night and ate there twice. Really Good food for $10-20 a person. The cafe has bright Sunny Windows that overlook St.Charles Ave and Lafayette Square for wonderful people watching and street cars passing by. Its a little noisy at this location during the day with

TL;DR: like a lot of the other reviews say, this place looks good on the surface but needs a sizable amount of TLC to warrant being in any “collection”.||Pros: |- Great location. Within easy walking distance to all of the downtown area sites. |- Generally quiet area. Except for the occasional street car rumble and noisy stereo, the outside world doesn’t intrude. |- Comfortable beds. We slept good; didn’t have any complaints about the bed firmness and comfort. ||Cons:|- Needs a top to bottom refurb. The rooms are worn, the fixtures are old, the curtains (at least our room 713) had holes and stains, burned out bulb in the bathroom, the carpets are dingy and the tinting on the exterior of the windows is peeling and flaking. |- Housekeeping is mediocre at best. Room was cleaned while we

Positive: Location was awesome! Negative: Two of the 4 pillows had stains on them and the toilet had strands of hair on it. Easy fix. This is why you must always travel with your own cleaning supplies and don't forget the gloves. :)Overall, I did enjoy my stay and would return in the future.

The female front desk worker overnight was amazing! She made the experience very welcoming and was knowledgeable regarding all the questions I had about valet parking and finding good spots for the parades. It was a good location as the main parades came right by the hotel and it is within 10-20 min walking distance to canal st and French quarter. The rooms were clean and house keeping cleaned my room while staying 3 nights. I would highly recommend next time.

I wanted to give a review to answer a lot of questions that I had before my stay. We stayed during Mardi Gras 2026, we came in on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. Check in was busy but fast, I was greeted with a smile and attentiveness and professionalism. I was charged a 100 incidental deposit AND 80.00 for two arm bands JUST so we could get into our hotel room during the parades ( I though this was outlandish) Room: I had a 2 bed Queen Corner room with view. The room was huge we had alot of space to move around, although the room was NOT cleaned well before we got there. We found condoms and used lubrication in the drawer between the beds, a dirty washcloth hanging on the shower rod and used soap in the bathtub, I informer the front desk and I told them we had already unpacked and I was
