La Quinta Inn & Suites New Orleans Downtown

Great location and great customer service. Elray at the front desk is one of the friendliest employees ive ever met. Only bad side is parking is expensive as hell, but that goes for pretty much every hotel in the area.

I just stayed in la Quinta in Florida. Had a good stay 5 days. Was coming to New Orleans so booked two nights here. Don’t do it! It stinks. Floor wet. Room literally stinks. Pull down black out shade and it fell down. Water pressure hard and then hardly. A/​C not working well. Just pulled back the bedding and welcomed by a black disgusting pubic hair. Cancelled tomorrow nights stay. I would leave tonight but have two little ones and just drove eleven hours — we are exhausted. Not sure we’d get our $$ back. La Quinta I’m done! CS not great at check in either. We were to have a suite will pull out couch. Instead ended up with two doubles– said they had no suites available. oMG it’s a dog hotel. No wonder the room floor is wet and smells like animal urine. Geez this place is a joke.

A very pretty lobby and close in location to Bourbon St. and the French Quarter. When we got to our room, though, the door was not closed all the way and the curtains had broken off and were lying on the A/​C unit by the window. We called down to the front desk to see if someone could fix it while we went out for the night. They did, but when we got back, the door wasnt even closed– we had to slam it to close it all the way. When we called to the front desk to tell them that the door was broken and had been left ajar, they seemed uninterested and did not apologize for possibly compromising our security. There were also a couple bugs flying around the bathroom. Probably wouldn’t stay here again but it wasn’t a completely terrible experience.

Terrible! Bed had mold, carpet is covered in dog pee spots. Shower head is broken so you can only take a bath but tub was dirty. No refrigerator or microwave in room. We weren’t even provided paper coffee cups or coffee for the coffee pot. The sheets are placed right on top of dirty mattresses. No bedbug cover. Our room did have a nice view of Harrahs and city sky scrapers
Your car will be parked valet across the street $ 30 a day. Which was ok with us. But the room was terrible

Awesome stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless. The beds were extremely comfortable and I slept like a baby. The walls are a bit thin as I could hear every tiny movement or noise ourside our door.
The included breakfast was substantial to start the day. The hotel staff were all accommodating and friendly except for one person (I believe the name was Curtis). His manners were brusque and a little on the rude side.
However, they allowed us early check in after our super early flight and to store our luggage when we checked out. The location is about a 20 minute walk to the French Quarter so we took an über ($ 5 – 7) most of the time. I would definitely stay here again and certainly recommend to my friends and family.

Lobby, hallways leading to rooms were clean once you entered rooms, sofabed top heavily stained, furniture weathered with some damage. Place includes continental breakfast but no one there to clean or refill food. We could hear other people taking showers for a sec we thought someone was in our room it sounded so close. Would not stay here again.

I received my room key for a room my friend and I were sharing … Except Leon gave me a key for someone else’s room. I asked him to notify the guests in that room and he said no. He said I should do it. So do you want me to go upstairs and sit in the room until I get back? He said to do whatever I needed to do. The manager said at 7 am tomorrow morning. He said I gave him the wrong confirmation number. I had three numbers, the number he used which was for a different parties reservation for the same company was not the one I gave him
So … I go back up to the room on the 12^th floor or should I wait for my roommate to come home so I know I’m safe in my other room after this fiasco.
Or maybe I shouldn’t say a thing and just go grab the laptops the jewelry and the cash and Let it be
Certainly a moral dilemma

Any hotel that allows dogs for no extra charge is a good one to me. The room was functional and simple. The valet is worth it due to the location in the CBD where parking is tedious. Free Wi-​Fi and breakfast are a plus. The staff are very accommodating and pleasant. Be aware that the closest place to walk your dog is two blocks away in Lafayette Square across Poydras Street. It can be REALLY lonely at dark… if you know what I mean. This may sound corny, but utilize the buddy system used in kindergarten!

Had a wonderful experience staying here on our cross country road trip! The staff was polite and very helpful. Great location, clean rooms, and dog friendly. I left a few belongings behind and the front desk was very helpful in locating them and are sending them back to me. Valet parking was a little pricey but the parking garages were around the same price. Thanks for a great stay!

I have nothing but great things to say about this hotel.
By far one of the best hotels for booking large tour groups in New Orleans. Melody, is nice, personable and accommodating.
Reservations for groups have all the amenities as normal reservations and the cancellation and attraction policy is very accommodating. :)
We’ll deferentially be sending more groups here.

I stayed here this week with my daughter and my 2 fur-kids.((That happen to be an English bulldog and a Great Dane lol.))
I read many reviews from about this La Quinta hotel that made me almost skeptical but because I have a very large dog there aren’t a lot of options in the New Orleans downtown and French Quarter area.
… With that said I’m writing this review as somebody who is very outgoing and likes dogs. I would suggest if you do Not like dogs this may not be the best hotel for you…
However, if you find yourself traveling with a furry companion like most La Quintas this one lets you keep up to 2 pets with no weight restriction without any fees. If your pets destroy the place I think there is a $ 15 fee per pet cleaning fee, however, I was not charged any fees myself personally.
Our hotel room was on the top floor and we had an amazing view of downtown. The hotel room was fairly clean as hotel rooms usually go. The hallways and the common areas were exceptionally clean. And for the price you couldn’t beat it as well as the fact that you can walk from this hotel through the French Quarter into Louie Armstrong Park which is a beautiful walk early mornings and my dogs, my daughter and I really enjoyed it.
I never waited more than 5 or 10 minutes for my car from the valet and it only took a few minutes to check in and out. There is a charge to park a car not included with your hotel room although they do offer free coffee and continental breakfast so I suppose that evens out in the end lol.
If you are a dog lover, avid walker, and like to be in the middle of every thing happening in New Orleans this is your spot! Just remember to check the weather before you travel to New Orleans or be prepared to buy outfits on arrival! The Gulf Coast can be be a cranky beast! ;-)

We stayed here one night because it was pet friendly, well located, had safe parking and was inexpensive. We had none of the previously mentioned issues, the hotel staff was just fine and quite friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean, properly set up, we had a comfy bed, quiet setting and all was well. The lobby was also very inviting. We would return

I can’t believe I forgot to check into the hotel I stayed at for 3 days. NOOB! Sheesh.
Anyway, I don’t see what all the complaints were about. This is a La Quinta, not the Hilton or the Ritz. We had none of the issues others seem to complain about. The room was cleaned daily and we always had enough towels. We had a double room and there was plenty of space for everyone and their stuff. We had a friend coming in who lost contact with the person he was supposed to stay with and he could have easily fit into our room on an air mattress along with the 4 of us. The bathroom doors are «french» here and don’t shut or lock, but they are also not viewable in the room — there is a wall between the beds and the bathroom door so unless you are trying really hard, you won’t see anyone through any gaps.
We mainly used the room to sleep, bathe and change clothes when necessary. The shower was a bit odd as there was a lever you pushed to change from bath to shower. The water? It always seemed to either be a bit too hot or a bit too cold so I found I had to move the ratio during showering. The water is hard, but that is not necessarily the hotel’s fault. Yes, they could get a nice softening system, but the price of the room would likely increase. All of south Louisiana is hard water and it’s what I grew up with so I’m use to it.
The AC was a pain to figure out. That is the biggest negative. We finally figured it out, but the cleaning ladies would change it so we would come back to a freezing cold room. That was likely my biggest negative.
Parking? There is a garage just before you get to the hotel. It says $ 30 a day, but my bill came out to $ 62 from Thurs afternoon to mid-​day Sunday. That is cheaper than the hotel, you don’t have to move your car daily like at surface lots and you don’t have to wait for a valet if you need to get your car or get an item from your car.
I’d definitely recommend this spot and I’d stay here again myself!

BED BUGS sent me and my
Dog and 2 possibly infested suitcases packing at 1am. Bianca was the only person at the front desk, no manager and she was unempathetic, careless, and rude– she didn’t offer any help, and ignored me when I asked her to call a taxi to stay at a new hotel. Do not stay here! The rooms just look and smell disgusting apart from the bedbugs.

Good for if you’re on a budget, but I think we could have done better for a hotel near/​in the Quarter. The lobby and public areas weren’t very clean, our room was dingy and damp, and the shower was so gross. It had rusty drains, low water pressure, a dirty tub, and the handle was very hard to turn. We weren’t too trusting of the staff since they didn’t seem like they were super organized or helpful, so we declined housekeeping service for our two night stay, just to be safe.
We honestly didn’t spend very much time in the room, but on our last night (about 6:00am Sunday morning), the fire alarm went off and we were awoken by someone banging on our door telling us to evacuate. We weren’t about to leave anything in the room, so we quickly got dressed and packed our suitcases to find that there was nothing wrong and everyone was being let back upstairs. On top of that, a bum had been in the breakfast area stealing all the food that was out and the management was shooing him away.
I think next time that we visit, we’ll either be staying in a bed and breakfast off the Quarter, splurging more for a nicer hotel, or staying an Airbnb for around the same price. Staying at this La Quinta was not worth the hassle or the dirty rooms.

For a cheap hotel close to the quarter you can’t go wrong. I’ve grown to love La Quintas because I travel with a dog and they never charge extra for him. I even booked my room and had a friend who wanted crash a couple nights there and they didn’t make me pay more for a second guest either.
PROS: Close to the quarter. You can walk to Burbon St, Café Du Monde, even Cemetery #1 in 15 – 30 minutes on relatively well lit streets. Dog friendly. Clean. Parking structure next door and valet across the street. The structure next door is cheaper if you are just there for the weekend though.
CONS: The plumbing is awful. The water comes out blasting hot. Very hard to adjust in the sinks or shower. The water also comes out smelling New Orleans funky. Also, the AC in my knit was pitiful. I had to set it on high fan and lock it at 60 °F to get the room cool enough to sleep.
All and all if you need a cheap place downtown to crash then head here.

The room was very large — with a king bed and large sofa. Lots of room to put our suitcases and stuff. Microwave and fridge in the closet. Everything was very clean and updated — no dog smell or pet hair.
Nice lobby and breakfast area. Quiet hotel.
They only put one little small bottle of shampoo+conditioner, and a small bar of soap in the bathroom which felt a little skimpy.
Staff were friendly at check in. Valet were friendly. Your car is parked literally across the street, 20 feet away from la Quinta. Sucks that you have to pay for parking, but hey you’re downtown.
Speaking of which, the location is great, 2 blocks (5 min walk) from the French quarter and great restaurants.
If you have dogs, there’s a nice park a few blocks away to take your pup that has garbage cans and bags.

I haven’t stayed in a La Quinta in years. Granted it was in Baja California Rosarito. It was old and outdated so that is what I thought of when my mom said she booked at La Quinta. I was pleasantly surprised when seen the hotel. The shuttle picked up my parents, my 6 month old son and myself. Once at the hotel I spotted a happy hour sign at their hotel pub. The pub was small but nice. I had 30 minutes of happy hour left. Jagermeister and fireball cooling machines. Longneck domestics for $ 2 and house mixes $ 3. The rooms were nice but smelled like smoke even though we were on a non smoking floor. I called front desk to have someone check it out but no one came. We had to close the restroom door to keep the smoke from coming through the bathroom vents into the room. The breakfast area was very nice too. No hot breakfast available but they do have Belgian waffles. My parents sat out by the pool with my son and enjoyed themselves. Staff was pretty cool besides not being able to check into smoke situation they were cool. This hotel is also right down the street from a Café Du Monde (not the one in the French Quarter).

Great location for French Quarter. walking distance to everything.
PETS: 8^th Floor is the Pet Friendly portion of the hotel. Closest green area is two and a half blocks away. Everything else is concrete.
Room: Decent & clean, room temp was a bit warm when we arrived. With the AC set to lowest setting, it still was a bit to warm. Front desk couldn’t help.
FREE STUFF:
Wi-​Fi… Not so much. Just barely enough to they say the provide it. Very slow, you’re better of using 4G or LTE.
BREAKFAST: Very continental.
Bathrooms have their standard assortment of nightly needs, bar soap, shampoo & Conditioner.
PARKING: They offer garage parking or valet parking for 26 $ a day.
Customer Service: Front Desk receptionist at check in didn’t seem like she liked her job or the fact that she had to deal with yet another checkin. 20 minutes later someone else had replaced her and was much nicer. Most of the staff we interacted with were cordial.

This is the 3^rd time that we have stayed at this hotel. It’s so conveniently located to all the great things in New Orleans. Just a few blocks to Bourbon Street, shopping and Harrahs casino. No car is needed if you stay here. Just walk where you need to go. Great restaurants are also nearby.
The hotel is very modern and the lobby is very stylish. The people that work in the lobby are also nice and friendly. The rooms are nice and large. It makes for a great stay. Everything is so clean too. Maid service is good. We will definitely be coming back and staying here. I recommend this place. It’s also less expensive than a lot of places nearby. I attached some pictures of our room when we arrived. I definitely recommend this place.
