Holiday Inn on Royal?

[happyme101]

Anyone out there stay at the Holiday Inn on Royal St recently?? It has gotten mixed reviews..most leaning on the bad side so I wondered if any recent stays had been pleasant?

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights prior to our cruise this past February. We had no problems to speak of. Our room was fairly spacious considering there were 4 of us (2 adults + 2 teens). The one person that stood out, because he was always helpful and accomodating, was the General Manager, Darrius Gray. He truly went above and beyond to be helpful, and he was usually around the front desk, greeting and chatting with guests. The hotel is in an excellent location for walking around to many fine restaurants, clubs, shopping and various attractions. We would definitely stay there again.

I stayed here for a week and no complaints. Excellent quiet location. :) And walking distance to most everything. :)

We are booked at the HI French Quarter for our June cruise on the Conquest. Does anyone know if they have a shuttle to the pier?

I don't think so. A cab would probably be your best bet. I notice you will be in NOLA 6/5. If you are going to be there a day or so earlier, check out this thread...
