Starbucks

Internet is horrible here! I could not even load my Gmail. The music is too loud for working as well, it is not a soft background music. I normally don’t go to Starbucks, but I came because I had a coupon. After 20 minutes of struggling with the internet I left.

My hubby picked up our morning coffee here the entire vacation and they never got the order right! There really is no where else to go, and I was not impressed with the Chicory in Nola I had to have real coffee.
The employees here do not try too hard probably because it is in a hotel so they know most customers won’t be back. I basically drink rocket fuel but they watered it down quite a bit.
Our own hotel serves Starbucks with breakfast but they stop serving breakfast too early for us to get up. So this was the only other option.

I agree with Stacy L. I’ve been staying at the Marriott for a conference since Sunday, and every day I go in, I feel like I get nothing but bad news. They don’t honor the Gold card free refills, soy, or syrups. They’re usually out of something every day… almonds when I want just a light snack — «oh sorry, we ran out.» Very small selection of sandwiches, and haven’t seen a protein plate at all in this place. Staff usually acts like they don’t give a damned. They close super early… what Starbucks in the US do you know that closes at 5pm? Do yourself a favor and bring your business to the Sheraton across the Street, or one of the smaller, independent coffee shops nearby like Rue de La Course (too many in NOLA to miss) who actually care about their customers and selling a good product, rather than passing the time doing as little as possible until they get off work to go party down the street.

Great and convenient Starbucks, always fast and good coffee. On this most recent visit, I was lucky enough to be staying in the Marriott, so it was REALLY convenient!

I had the best experience during my week long stay during Mardi Gras.
The man in charge was so thoughtful, and patient while training a very new employee. I found out on my last day that he was Krew Zulu.
Can’t wait to return.

Just a starbucks

Starbucks must be doing well when they place two Starbucks across from each other. This Starbucks is located inside the Marriott hotel and is located right across the street from the Sheraton Starbucks. This Starbucks also closes early so make sure to get here before 5pm. I believe this Starbucks also has the collector Starbucks cups (has the city of New Orleans printed on the outside). Lots of seating and relatively fast service. No use having your Starbucks gold card here though. No free soy or syrup choices.

This Starbucks sits deep inside the Marriott. So what you get is a plush Starbuck’s experience. There is a separate room for the plush chairs.
This is one of the best smelling Starbuck’s. The same fragrance smell that fills the Marriott fills the air in this Starbuck’s. The result is that you feel like your breathing in potpori.
The prices are steeper than your usual Starbucks outside of downtown New Orleans. However, the atmosphere is so relaxing that I felt like getting in my daily coffee here was worth the steeper price.

Bonus points to this Starbucks for being located inside of my hotel (New Orleans Marriott). I was able to visit each day to get my daily Iced Green Tea craving satisfied. The cool thing about this location is that the barista told me I could bring my cup back for 60 cent refills! Score! I was ready to take complete advantage of this until housekeeping tossed my cup out while I was out of the room. Grrrr!

No soy milk and RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!

I like Starbucks so its nice to have one here in the Marriott.
