O.K., but needs improvement

by oregonrebel

The location is excellent - on the river, across the street from Harrah's, on trolley route, and only a few blocks from the Quarter. Unfortunately, I

experienced a few problems: I arrived 5-11-04 at around midnight and when I opened my room's door, I knew immediately that it was a smoking

room, although my reservation requested non-smoking. I then noticed my room had 2 beds,

instead of the single I had also requested. The mini-bar was nearly empty, and when I notified the front desk, There was no offer to send someone up

to inventory or restock it. The bathtub had not been cleaned. The following day I changed rooms, and the phones didn't work. They were repaired later that day.

Nice hotel in good location

by wundrwomynn

We were in New Orleans because I was taking some exams but decided to stay to see the city. The Wyndham was well-located to the French Quarter. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. The room was nice and everyone was friendly. I recommend joining the Wyndham By Request becuase it got us a welcome snack, a nicer room with a view of the Mississippi, and other personalized amenities. Plus, it is connected to a mall if you get the urge to shop or go to Starbucks. I didn't think that it was confusing to get in and out of, as some people have said. Overall, a nice place to stay if you want to be close to the stuff in the French Quarter but not in the thick of things.

• Pros: Location, Views, Bath amenities

Can you say Snobby?

by brookeejon

My boyfriend and I decided to spend a night there to get away from everything... We picked that hotel from random out of all the big hotels there... From the time we checked in we were completely snubbed. The receptionist repeatedly asked us if we knew how much it was going to cost.. Then we got up to our room and it was nothin like we had imagined... call me picky but when I pay $130 per night I expect the room to be in functioning...The iron didn't work...The bathroom was old looking...very outdated... The room service was horrible...It took at least an hour for them to bring up some towels... to top it all off... our room keys quit working trying to use the elevator...very embarrassing.... That hotel sucked... We checked out early...

• Pros: pool, canal place, view
• Cons: , outdated decor
