Hotéis Holiday Inn Express em New Orleans

We are very happy Clean, great room, you can see from new However, food is very low, there are no fruits and vegetables, eating with plastic cutters

I was in town for a conference. I like mid-range hotels like Holiday Inn Express because you tend to get more complementary stuff, like breakfast and WiFi, and this was no exception. There are many positives: from here you are within easy walking distance to Bourbon Street and the CBD (Central Business District for us non-locals). It's a bit of a stretch to walk to the convention center (where I needed to be on a daily basis) or Frenchmen's street (less crowded than Bourbon, with different if not better character and music). I think I met half the Lyft drivers in NOLA, though got plenty of steps in too. There are a couple of restaurants nearby; I frequented Walk-Ons, a franchise but one that has local fare too. I had a room RIGHT next to the elevator. My first reaction was YES! I never get a short walk to the elevator! My second reaction was - $#!^ - I'm not going to be sleeping much with partiers coming off that same elevator. My fears were unfounded. The bed was plenty comfortable, the room was quiet, and I slept well. I only interacted with staff on a few occasions, but these were all positive. If you get hungry or need a drink or sundries, they have a ”Market” with assorted goods for purchase. They also have a business center (with a printer) that I did not use. I did not have housekeeping my entire four-night stay. This seems to be industry standard. You can request housekeeping, but it was just me, and I can live in my modest mess for a few days. It is my custom to include a report for traveling athletes. Swimming is a problem at this location. They have an indoor pool that is slightly larger than a bathtub. There are four local regional pools (closest being Gat Town Natatorium and Treme Recreational Community Center), but I struck out completely - all 4 were closed on the day I had planned to swim, one I found out by a failed Lyft ride to a closed community center. My suggestion is to CALL before you go, and if they don't answer, that probably means they are not there (even if the website says they are open... grr). For running, there are some treadmills at the hotel's fitness center that I did not use. About a half-mile away from the hotel is the Lafitte Greenway (look for the St. Louis Cemetary at Basin Street for the trailhead). It is 2.6 miles of paved trail for bikers, walkers, and runners. It felt safe (enough). There are several cross-streets, the more dangerous with stop signs and less dangerous with yield signs. I rarely needed to stop for traffic, and most drivers with polite, some even stopping when they did not have to so I could continue my run. A message from Captain Obvious: New Orleans is hot and humid. Avoid planning a run that will outlast your hydration. Back to the hotel. A couple of areas for improvement. The front desk was usually but not always staffed. It was not a problem for me directly, but I saw someone trying to get checked in with nobody to help him. The front door gets locked at 10 PM - or 9 PM - or

Now this is a hotel! I have so much love and appreciation for this hotel, I don't know where to start. It's cleanliness is unmatched- you can tell the staff takes great pride in the cleanliness of the hotel. i probably should say this at the end but I will stay here anytime and every time I stay in New Orleans. I stayed at the ”Worst Western” (about a mile from here), and I believe it was a horrible experience. Period. Don't ever go there.Like ever... Now for the staff at this Holiday Inn Express You guys at this hotel are one of the best staffs I've ever met Iris-I didn't meet you but I hope you appreciate the staff you have. They are wonderful Nikkolette-you were the first to make me feel welcome and went the extra mile to do so. Keira-You are equally as amazing and professional. Keep up the great service. Ricardo-You are a hard worker sir.You hard work was noticed and appreciated. Nicole-Amazing staff member and you are very courteous. Housekeepers-you were awesome! And last but not least... Ianthe... Where did they find you from? You are the best breakfast attendant I ever seen. You handled the Sunday breakfast rush so well and and so gracefully. They need to make you full-time and give you a raise immediately, because whatever they are paying you it can't possibly be enough. The fact that I took my time to write this during my very busy vacation should let you know I really appreciate your great service. Blessings and I will see you soon.
