Hello Tony,Thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate candid feedback and we are always striving to perfect our hospitality service. I do apologize that we did not live up to the W name and we will work on correcting that. Though we are a smaller W than most, we believe that our service promise and hospitality are in line with what all the other W's offer. We will continue to enhance our guests' experience and make sure that all of our guests get the experience they expect when staying at other W's. We are gearing up for a property renovation, so I hope that if your travels bring you back to the crescent city you will decide to stay with us again and experience the W name.Thank you again for your honest feedback and we wish you safe travels!

I thought this property was great! The building is beautiful, the room was cool- a good size and nicely decorated. We had a balcony that overlooked a street where second line parades pass by- it was great! Love the plantation shutters.

The bathrooms are modern but not functional. There were not many drawers for clothes storage in the room either.

Pulling up it was hard to tell where to check in. There wasn't a vallet waiting and we could not leave the car unattended afraid were would block someone. Check in was fine and everyone was courteous once we figured out where to check in. The room is tiny you walk right into the bed and the bathroom is like a bathroom in a camper so small with terrible lighting. For the money there are better hotels in New Orleans. On a positive note, the food in the restaurant is great and the courtyard area is really cool.

The hotel is in a great locatation but...

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
Cons: poor service
there just as nice in the same area. Don't bother with the hotel food in this foodie city that dishes up some awesome food. Do your homework before you leave. The hotel staff do try to be helpful but they fall way short of thier moto Whenever/Whatever! It should just be Whatever. They didin't even answer the Whenever direct line. Our room had a few problems and they did not fix the problem and we ended up wasting an entire afternoon on them. We have stayed at W hotels in many cities and this will be our last time at these properties.
