Holiday Inn New Orleans-Downtown Superdome by IHG

Stayed in the Holiday Inn during Mardi Gras and really LOVED it. The pool is on the fourth floor along with the gym; both very nice along with the view. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Maybe 15 minute walk to Bourbon Street, but hit the parades on the way!

Honestly, I did not put a lot of stock into Holiday Inn as a brand but I was pleasantly surprised at this room. The room was spacious and modern. Front desk staff was extremely polite. I arrived very early and I was able to still get into a room. Within pretty close walking distance of the French Quarter but not in the middle of all the action. I didn't use all the amenities but there is a gym, pool, and laundry room, and a cafe on the first floor. My only complaint is I wish the balcony in the room actually opened.

Great location between the French Quarter and the Garden District and within walking distance of the WWII museum. Two Chicks Cafe is very close by for a great breakfast. The rooms were perfectly fine (except for the sliding door for the bathroom; not as much privacy). Rooms start on the 8th floor, which also has a ballroom. Others complained of noise, but all was quiet during the our weekend stay. You cannot access the room balcony; the door is screwed shut, but that didn’t bother us. What is annoying is the $11 nightly amenity fee. Just bogus. I didn’t ask for it to be waived, but maybe I should have. Still, the hotel was a good value in a good location and I never felt unsafe in the hotel or in the neighborhood.

I had a great stay at this property. The staff was efficient, friendly, and checked in on me throughout my visit, offering helpful tips about the hotel that made my stay even better. The lobby café was a nice touch for quick mornings, and the location made it easy to walk everywhere. I had a fantastic city and park view from my room, which featured a full-sized desk on wheels – perfect for getting work done. The quick WiFi and excellent lighting were also much appreciated. My only suggestion would be to enhance the business center. While one is available, a quieter, more private space outside the room would be ideal for early morning calls. Overall, a comfortable and convenient choice for business or leisure. The shower was especially nice! Would definitely stay again.

This was the first time in many years that I stayed at Holiday Inn, was really not my place of choice based on previous experiences and level of hotels. I think because this one is in downtown it is a bit of a higher standard. I was actually plesantly surprised by this Holiday Inn. Hotel is very well kept up, clean with very nice interior design. We stayed in room 1214. Bathrooms don't have a fan though and have sliding doors and only one set of towels per person, these things were not a big deal to us but it could be for others. Nice location about 4 blocks from Canal street. They have a restaurant for breakfast which is overall decent but pricey.
