Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Drury Plaza Hotel New Orleans is often praised for its excellent location, within walking distance of both Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, making it easy to explore the city. Guests frequently mention the spacious rooms, some featuring separate lounge areas, and appreciate the included amenities like a mini fridge and microwave. A highlight for many is the rooftop pool and hot tub, alongside the complimentary evening drinks and snacks, though a few guests have noted that the hotel appears somewhat outdated. With the complimentary breakfast, the hotel, therefore, provides good value for money.

An okay stay

excellent locationkickback dinnersunpleasant managementpower trip
The location is excellent. It is in the heart of the central business district. The hotel is within a short walk of the major attractions. Evening kickback dinners and breakfasts are my favorite parts about staying at these properties.
The management is not too pleasant. They seem to all have power trips. They threatened to ban and throw us out because of their mess up. This seems a little bizarre to me.

limited selectionsubpar food
The nightly food offering was subpar specifically the hot dogs nachos and gumbo. The same limited selection was served each of the four nights of my stay. This was disappointing given the city's reputation for good food.

I appreciated the helpful staff. the breakfast and dinner options were a plus. the security measures. Key card access was required for the hotel and specific floors.
The parking fee was a bit high. I found the $35 daily charge somewhat inconvenient.
