Bathroom was dirty and the shower flooded the bathroom. Room was not clean. Worst experience! They did nothing to comfort us when we reported the dirty toilet and flooded bathroom. Only stayed 1/3 days! Checked out the very next day and found the Fontenot

Manager was nice. Inside was a bit wanting. Breakfast too expensive. Audacity to expect $26 for coffee. “Coffee pot is put out into lobby only after breakfast.” So I had to buy a $6 coffee across the street before going out for a run at 7:30 am. I had breakfast for $26 on day 1 for its convenience. Nice hot eggs but on day 2, the gall of the morning reception to state the policy was $26 for just a cup of coffee was beyond and shocked the conscience. I depleted in room coffee by declining room service day 1, and used it up on day 0, afternoon of arrival on red eye from Seattle. On Night 2, evening, night clerk declined to allow me to take a complimentary water up to my room; which had been allowed in friendliness on night 1 a because again, I had declined room service and bottles of water were taken to drink on day 0 (arrival). I also bought about $18 in snacks on the concession on night 0. This property needs some TLC and training on freebies to normal guests. The lady manager is doing a good job with what she’s got. Need some more staff training and I need a free hotel room with Marriott Bonvoy or AC for this below expectation experience. Thank you. At least everyone was hospitable, southern and polite, but you cannot reason or explain with some people. It makes perfect sense to me that coffee and water were depleted because I declined room cleaning on Morning 1. Please consider issuing a (partial) refund or offering a complementary night voucher. Thank you very much.

This is a great hotel in a fantastic location just one block from Bourbon Street. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean. It was unfortunate that they could not provide a remote for the tv (not that it really mattered as the French Quarter is much more interesting), that the room safe was not operable, and that the shower did not work too well. It is in an amazing location, convenient for the party animals, and those wanting to explore this amazing city. The St Charles Streetcar passes right by the hotel so convenience could not. E better. A little attention to detail and it would have been amazing.

On Monday 4/7 was laying in bed and all you could smell was pot. Walked out of the room and smelled it slightly. Went down to the Lobby and it was overwhelming. Found hair in the Bathroom. Would not stay at this place again

Valet was good. But other then that they cancelled my reservation and only emailed me after they cancelled it so I arrived and had no room. They were over booked and instead emailing me to tell me I needed to pay in advance they just cancelled it. I dunno if I ever want to stay with Marriott again.
