Hotels near Arcadian Books & Prints, New Orleans

My 93 year old husband and I spent two nights at Hotel indigo last week and were very pleased with our experience. The room was nicely appointed in the bathroom was spacious though we did have an accessible room. The bed was very comfortable, especially the pillows! Every place in the hotel was very clean, and nicely appointed. We were most impressed with the Front desk staff who were so helpful, courteous, and kind. We want to do a shout out to Susanne, who couldn't have been nicer, as well as professional. The common interest hotel dining room had good food at reasonable prices. The valet parking was a bit pricey, but very convenient and the attendants were also very helpful. Just around the corner on Carondelet Street we discovered the Gallier oyster bar, which had good food at a reasonable price.

I had my doubts but I am glad I stayed at this location. The hotel is in a good spot for touring the city whether by car or on foot. At the core of my contentment is the person working the front desk during my check-in and during my stay - Ms. Nivea H. From the first day through our last day she worked to ensure customer service was as best as it could be. I will not say she is the only front desk person able to provide great customer service, I hope that the management culture and training emphasizes this to all their employees. However, she is the main person that we experienced. The breakfast is also great, but the food throughout my time in New Orleans was great. Parking is interesting, but I used the hotel's valet and it worked out well. I hope you have the same experience that we did, since coming to New Orleans should be fun and relaxing even if you came here due to work reasons.

I loved the experience. It was right around the corner from everything (Bourbon St. Canal St. etc). Highly recommended.

The location is ideal,stright line to the french quarter and all the hot spots( 10. to 12 minutes walk). The rooms are speacious and have simple modern layout. There is Nespersso coffee machine with complmentary coffee, very much appriciated. The bathroom is also specious and clean, over all a very pleasant 3 night stay, highly recomend it to anyone.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean room and common areas. The only reason I gave a 4/5 on facilities is because I don't think we should have had to pay $25 to park in the hotel parking garage!

I stayed at this hotel 10-14 January 2022 for government business and I will never stay at this location, or another Courtyard by Marriott again. First of all, I booked my reservation myself because I was to tell the booking receptionist what group I was with. I called several times in November to book a room but was placed on hold for 15+ minutes each time never being able to complete the booking process. I ended up reserving a room using the Bonvoy app. The actual stay was decent besides the constant slamming of doors, the blinking light directly above the bed, and the confusing light switch setup. The room was clean and modern, but for a 4-day stay I did expect at least one visit from the cleaning staff, but that seemed a bit excessive. Throughout this time, and navigating around the government business I was attending, I attempted several times to confront the desk clerk about ensuring I receive the government rate as I was unable to do so over the phone prior to arriving. On the third night of my stay I received a confirmation via the Bonvoy app that I would receive the government rate. I also got verbal confirmation from the clerk working the night desk on 13 January when I asked if there would be any issue with me checking out at 3am the next day. Checked out of the hotel and was on my way to the airport when I received the electronic receipt in my email for $299/night. This is not the government rate. Upon returning to work the following Monday I called and was directed to speak with Jeanine about the issue. Even though she did assist me with reversing the tax charges, she was rude, unsympathetic, and disruptive as I tried to explain the issue. She did confirm that she was given a list of members who were to receive the government rate but that she took no further action because I did not call to confirm that my name was on the list or that I was indeed attending....if my name was on a list that was given to you, and I had an active reservation 2 months prior, why would this be a problem? Name on list...check. Reservation made by the same name....check. Not so fast! Because I was having difficulties communicating with Jeanine, I had a co-worker of mine who deals with hotel billeting speak to her and she claimed to him that I was extremely rude and degrading to her, which is an absolute lie. I never called her by anything but her name, never used profanity, and only raised my voice when she interrupted me so I could finish what I was saying. Still, no progress. Because of this trip being directed by government, it is not supposed to cost the military member a dime out of pocket. My leadership decided that if I could get a letter from the hotel stating they would not honor the government rate, the hotel cost may be covered. Wrong. After politely requesting such a letter from Jeanine 3 times, I was given what is basically Jeanine's excuse slapped on letterhead. 3 months after this whole ordeal I am now looking at being persona

We had a really late check in (4 am) the first night, after a long drive. Jada at the front desk was so energetic and kind and accommodating to us. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the lobby and gym provided us a good place to get work and work outs done. We didn’t get the name of everyone on staff, but everyone we interacted with was so kind and helpful to us. Possibly one of the best (of many) hotels we have ever stayed in! 10/10 would stay again.

The rooms are nice and clean. The housekeeping staff do a great job. The breakfast is good and attendants helpful, but the stress this place caused me was not worth it. I got a call two hours before check in telling me they didn’t have a room for me the first might of my check in. They sent me to the Best Western in Westwego. 🤮. The manager there acted like he was giving me a comp room. Those were his words when in fact I had paid completely for my room at the plus, not that awful motel. The carpet there is disgusting. The manager at the plus gave me the difference in cash for the price difference when we checked in the next day, which I appreciated and said as a Christian I will let the fact that I was targeted as the only guest sent somewhere else go. But, it never got better. I got charged for the room and had to discuss with the front desk although it was paid in full. Then, the vending machine didn’t work and took my money, so I went to the front desk and the guy there made me feel like I was the problem because I said I don’t understand why I have had so many issues here. Needless to say, this place really added unnecessary stress to my trip and I still don’t know why I was the one targeted on the day I was scheduled to check in. I really tried to make the best of it and be kind but everyone I know in the hotel industry said this was unacceptable and they should have fully comped the first night, not just give me the price difference. I just couldn’t get them to budge on anything and see my point of view, so I gave up. Everyone said they would have made them give me a room because that was the worst treatment of a customer, but it didn’t matter how much I said it was unacceptable. They catered to other guests and targeted me for whatever reason. They said guests didn’t check out, left belongings in the room, and they couldn’t reach those guests. This said to me you value people who don’t honor your rules and regulations more than someone like me, who paid in advance and does honor rules and regulations. I personally believe they let those guests stay and didn’t care about my reservation. This is the most poorly run hotel I have ever dealt with and I travel a lot. My husband warned me not to stay at a Best Western because his experience is always with Hilton and Marriott properties, but the location was ideal for being close to family. My son even said how much closer it was than the horrible, disgusting Westwego one they sent us to. I wish this wouldn’t have been our experience because I travel to the area a lot to visit family and was hopeful we could stay here on all visits but the amount of stress they caused me this trip is not worth it. If you want to make sure you have a reservation, then this is not the place to stay. You can be the random target they choose to send elsewhere for customers who don’t care about policies.
