When Surrex goes Marching in
Alas! The "Surrex Sales Meeting" I had been hearing endlessly about, had arrived. Surrex is the current company I work for, where I am a recruiter who helps people (chiefly IT) find new opportunities that also meet the client's staffing needs. Every December, they treat the entire organization, regardless of earnings, to a 4-day getaway that …
Arrival at NoLa... How Y'all Are?
It's called the Big Easy, a reference to the free flow of alcohol during prohibition not the efforts to get here on American; United flies direct. Friday night is high school football keggers and a night at the JW Marriott - the Ritz was booked, we'll be moving tomorrow. We weren't really sure what to expect; while lounging at the Orchid in Kona …
NOLA
Nola would have to be one of my favourite places on earth. The place is rich with culture, food, music and history. We struggled to find accommodation in New Orleans because the NCAA championship gridiron game was on.
The town was buzzing and upon speaking with a few locals they compared the atmosphere to Mardi Gras!!

Squeezing everything I can from the last day
Changing hotels was really painless surprisingly enough. The JW Marriott is almost directly across the road from the other Marriott I had been staying at, so I only had to drag the two suitcases across the road in the end. This hotel looks a lot more boutique-y, smaller but the foyer is certainly a bit more stylish. My room wasn't ready as it was …
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
... giant birds and submerged boats from Hurricane Isaac. A couple of wild pigs also waded in up to the boat and the guide threw them marshmallows. I asked if he believed in the Honey Island Swamp Monster and he said he wouldn't but a good friend of his swears he saw something running on all fours and then stand upright and keep running so he doesn't know for sure.
On Tuesday I had booked an all day tour of the plantations, which was something I had really been looking forward ...
Location
Historical Traveler Reviews JW Marriott Hotel New Orleans
Very lovely hotel
The JW Marriott is in a excellent location in New Orleans. The area is good, well lit and heavily traveled. Our rooms was an oversized king room and was very nicely appointed and different than the standard room layout. The room had plenty of storage, seating, and the furnishings seemed new and clean. Turndown service was offered. The Marriott website indicated that this hotel is undergoing a renovation. We saw and heard no evidence of this, but did note a faint paint smell in the hall. It was pleasant and clean, not obnoxious. Valet parking is onsite. The common areas of the hotel were very modern and opulent. We would stay here again.
Fab, Fab, Fab
This is the perfect location for New Orleans. Don't be lulled into the much more expensive character hotels near Bourbon Street unless you don't like sleep. This hotel is a few minutes stroll from all the action but far enough away to have a break from the hedonism and the music. The breakfast's are a real bargain given that the food is top notch and delivered with real style. Don't confuse this with the Marriott just across the road - the JW is the real McCoy. Enjoy.
Perfect!
Amazing view. The hotel was absolutely beautiful. We plan to make this place our Christmas night get away. It was perfect!
Excellent room, service and location!!
12/25/03 through 12/28/03. We got a great deal on Hotel.com. This was our first trip to New Orleans and we were pleased with our corner room (room 1809, king bed) over looking Canal Street with a tiny view of the Mississippi River. Walking distance to everything. Excellent service, would stay at JW Marriot again.
Loved it!
Just got back from a weeklong stay at the JW Marriott in New Orleans.
Everything about the facility and staff was strictly top rate. I've been traveling to New Orleans for a number of years and this was the best hotel experience I've had in a long time. Congrats to the staff on a job well done.
Thumbs up for jw marriott
Myself,husband and 20 mth son have just returned from a stay at jw marriott in new orleans,we had no problems at all,the staff were excellant,all extremly nice to us,the pool was great,the rooms were spotless,we requested a fridge for our babies food&milk,no problem,nothing was a problem,after reading some of the reviews i was worried before we left,but was happy when we got and stayed there.It is different strokes for different folks but thats what makes the world go round!!!!!
Not worth the money
Definitely not a "superior" hotel as touted. As someone else noted, the hotel was far from soundproof and hotel personnel were somewhat indifferent to our complaints about very noisy neighbors. Public areas were very grand and well kept up, rooms not so much so. Location was good, but overall, not worth the money.
Not Worth the $$$$
Our "deluxe" king room was the size of a closet; Room service was a nightmare; The so-called, "sound-proof" rooms they'd promised, were not so--We clearly heard our neighbors on both sides.
We recommend the Hilton or another of the larger chain hotels in the area. You can get a better price, and better room!
Le Meridien - A Beautiful Accomodation in a Great City!
Le Meridien, on Canal Street in New Orleans, is a wonderful choice for visiting this great city. After staying there this past weekend, we can't say enough good things about this hotel. The location on Canal St. is close enough to everything we wanted to visit and yet far enough from the atmosphere of Bourbon St. to afford quiet comfort. From the front desk to the bellhops to housekeeping, the staff couldn't have been nicer. They made us feel special by always remembering us and checking on our comfort. The concierge offered wonderful suggestions for restaurants and tours. Our hair dryer didn't work and upon calling housekeeping, we received a new one in 3 minutes (we timed it!) Our room was on the 29th floor - it was well appointed and offered plenty of space for our luggage. The view from the room of the river and French Quarter was fabulous. The pool was not open on our visit, but we were offered the use of the pool at the Sheraton next door. This was not a problem for us as we didn't plan on much swimming during our visit to New Orleans. We found a wonderful rate for our room by shopping on the internet and we'd highly recommend this hotel to any visitor to New Orleans. Merci Le Meridien!
Le Meridien turns off power & heat to guest rooms
Our "electrifying" experience at Le Meridien was a literal nightmare. Upon returning to our room after midnight from a night in the Quarter, we found a 3-inch flashlight with a note from Mgr. Mario Mazzini that they were turning off ALL power and heat to ALL guest rooms at 1 AM. No electricity til noon the next day meant no lights, no ventilation, no working clock or TV, and no use of hair dryers, razors, etc. As we were leaving in the morning, we packed, showered, & dressed by the glow of a K-Mart flashlight. When expressing our dismay to Front Desk employees, they were unmoved.Finally the manager comped our parking for the 4-day stay. Abominable service!
