Blake Hotel

Has anyone ever stayed at the Blake hotel? We are sailing out May 5th and got a Priceline name your price deal for the night before. I had never heard of the Blake before the deal came through and the reviews on tripadvisor are 50/50. Just wondering if anyone here on CC has had an experience they would share! Thanks!

Welcome-

If you go to the homeport departure forum for the port you are sailing from here on Cruise Critic you will find information on hotels and the like. Carnival Cruise Line doesn't own or operate hotels in the U.S.

We have not stayed at the Blake but it's s very nice hotel!!! I am sure you won't be sad after leaving there

You might want to say what city you're talking about.

I think this belongs in either the New Orleans board or the Gulf Coast Departures board.

The Blake Hotel in New Orleans is an Ascend property in the Choice Hotels family. We stayed there in 2 rooms last December when our sons High School Football Team went to compete (and win) the state championship.

The lobby area was fairly nice, but the rooms were really small and kind of BLAH...that being said, the location at the corner of Poydras and St Charles Avenue is second to none. It is on the streetcar line (you can hear them late into the night). We booked it because it was free on Choice Hotel loyalty points...otherwise I would have pricelined a 4 star in the Convention Center area for around $60-$75.

If its just for one or two nights, it should be fine though. Its New Orleans and there is so much to see so you wont be in the room that much anyway.

Thanks, thought I was posting to the New Orleans board!
