The Marriot Convention Center is a hotel that I will highly recommend. Everyone at the check- in counter was polite and courteous. Check-in was a breeze, I did not have to wait. My room was immaculate, everything was clean and in order.
The beds are like none other, they are sooo comfortable. The bathroom was great and you get Bath and Body Works toiletries.
The convention center is right across the street, so this is a perfect place to stay if you are attending a convention here. This hotel is within walking distance or a taxi ride from Bourbon St. But you will appreciate the peace and tranquility when you are trying to get some sleep. I did not eat in the hotel's restaurant.
The hotel's rate are not bad either.

Four college friends wanted to visit NOLA for the food, fun and make our contribution to tourism. I was assigned the task to
select a hotel. I checked the internet and considered boutique types and chains; French Quarter, Riverfront or Arts/Garden District were our choices. We hit the jack pot at the Marriott Convention Center since it gave us easy walking access to EVERYTHING! 5 minutes from the casino, 15 mins to Bourbon Street and 30 minutes to the far end of the French Quarter.

First, the hotel is very clean and looks like a recent upgrade. The price was unbelievable for a Marriott. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Concierge assisted with a tour and restaurant suggestions. Our request for extra bathroom linens was responded to almost immediately by housekeeping. Our 15th floor view of the River was calming upon rising in the morning and breathtaking at night.

During our walks, we saw the location of several hotels we considered. Final analysis, our Marriott was away from the crowds but close enough to feel connected.

This Marriott should be rated higher in Trip Advisor. I am a Marriott, Hilton and Holiday Inn Frequent Guest because of business travel so I have stayed in more than a few hotels.

I just returned from a convention in New Orleans where I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. I had a wonderful stay! The bed was just heavenly! The staff were all very courteous and helpful. The room was kept clean and we were given extra towels when we asked. The location was perfect for us as our convention was in the convention center right across the street. One morning it was raining quite heavily when I exited the hotel and the very nice doorman actually walked me across the street under his large umbrella. Service with a smile!

This hotel only has 2 redeeming qualities: the location (directly across from the convention center) and the Wolfe's restaurant. The food and service were excellent. The housekeeping was bad: I had leftover soap from the previous occupant in the shower, the furniture was dusty, vacuuming was done only in the traffic areas, there was clothing in the dresser left from a previous occupant, plus I had a carefully hidden watch stolen from my room. Even though I put a "do not disturb" sign on my door, housekeeping insisted on pounding on my door every morning at 7:30am. The place seems highly understaffed. Certainly not worth the high price that I paid. I will lor other accomodations should business bring me to NOLA again.
