InterContinental New Orleans by IHG

We had a wonderful stay here. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great, we walked to all the sights. Our room was huge, on the 14th floor with lovely views and was very quiet. Bed was comfortable and good shower. I requested a kettle so was able to drink real tea. Coffee machine does have green tea though. We had breakfast included in our room rate which great. I still miss the freshly made omelettes and beignets. We had to sign for the service charges but they were not on our final bill and they also gave us a $20 credit for the restaurant/ bar. The gym was good and the pool lovely (looked larger in the photos). As we had a late return flight we were able to have a free late check out which was really appreciated. Definitely would recommend.

Room was quiet. They were accommodating as we were able to stay in same room for a cruise reservation.

This was my fourth hotel this trip (we moved around due to a fishing trip in middle), and by far the best value for price of all of them. I'm a value shopper and had expected this room to reflect its low price for the area, but holy cow, I felt like pretty woman walking into that room. No, it wasn't a penthouse, but compared to my other hotel stays this place hit all the marks - clean, swanky style, comfortable, the bathroom vanity was nice in looks and structure, and the bath area had the extra door to the shower/toil which made coordinating multiple peoples routines seamless, the provided shampoos and such were better than mine at home, the cups were glass/ceramic (no plastic/styrophome here), the pool was warmed (others were unheated). The staff went out of there way multiple times to provide extra services that were free, and they did so with character and kindness. It's fisherman friendly with a freezer to freeze your catch. And it's a short walk to the french quarter, or a $10 uber on average if it happens to be raining.

We had a beautiful king corner suite with a balcony. The room was roomy, clean & felt so very comfortable. The balcony was HUGE. Every single staff member we came in contact with was so pleasant. Loved that the grocery/snack area was more of self serve with self checkout. The shampoo, conditioner & body wash supplied by the hotel was amazing. Great location, in a "cleaner" side of New Orleans, but still in perfect walking distance/street car ride to all the attractions in the French Quarter/Canal/Bourbon Streets.

Everything exceeded my expectations. The bed was super comfortable, the breakfast was ample and delicious, and the balcony was a great touch. The heat in the shower is exceptional.
