Driving in at night was somewhat tricky with the parades going on and it being on a one-way street but the service was just fine and we enjoyed our time there. The car was always available to us when we needed it which was daily. Parking attendants were prompt. Rooms were clean and staff was very helpful. We would stay there again http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585117 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585118 I recently stayed at the Renaissance Pere Marquette for business meetings in New Orleans. The hotel's location is excellent. It's like an sanctuary in New Orleans' bustling business district. It is only one block from the French Quarter. Everything is within walking distance of the hotel. Yet it seems like a world away. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was huge and stylish with marble floors. From the front desk staff and the room service attendant to the amazing bar tender at the lobby bar, every staff memnber was gracious and genuinely glad that I was there. I will definitely stay at the Renaissance Pere Marquette in the future. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585118 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456414 We stayed at this hotel for the VooDoo Music experience. I chose this hotel because they offered military/Gov. rates during the weekend and during this special event, which doesn't happen very often. Also, they were able to guarantee a double room, which we needed as there were to be four guests. The whole experience was very pleasant, and I actually looked forward to going to the hotel for the peace and quiet. The place had a very calming effect on me. The room was nice and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the 3rd floor pool, and the work out area which has a washer and dryer, a private bath with a shower, and fresh fruit was offered. The parking attendants were very friendly, as well. I would stay here again in a heart beat. It was really a nice place to go to after a very busy/hectic day to unwind and feel a little pampered. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456414 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456415 first time down in new orleans and would definitely go back to this hotel. it was very clean and very well kept. room's were a bit on the small size, but definitely okay. rooms and not to mention the beautiful lobby are decorated so well. bar in the lobby and restauarant attached to the hotel. the pool was great too. walking distance to everything! two blocks from bourbon & canal streets. valet parking! overall, had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456415 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456416 When some friends of ours decided to attend a recent music festival in New Orleans, we decided on this hotel. I have to admit that I was looking forward to staying at one of Mariott's flagship hotels. We did enjoy our stay, but it was lacking in some areas which give it a "less than optimal" review in my opinion. Check in went smooth as silk. In fact the staff was able to let us check into a king room when we first arrived around 10:00 a.m. The staff was courtious and professional, and the room was neat and well kept. This gave me the feeling that I was staying in a four star hotel. The Bell staff was always cheerful and attentive. It seemed that we were going to be looked after in true style, but that's where the illusion started to fade. Concierge service was spotty at best, and even though I did get reservations, the staff was only at their desk for what seemed to be two to three hours all weekend. We had a full day, and decided to check in for the evening early one night. At 10:00 p.m. on Saturday night I repeatedly tried to reach room service to place an order with no answer. It would seem that prime time on Saturday night would have someone on staff to take an order. The hotel restaurant seemed to have new staff that were inexperienced. When we got up to have the breakfast buffet one morning, the hostess sat another couple at our table. Remember, this is the same hostess that sat us down at that table to start. Bar service was spotty as well, since several key employees "didn't show up for work". However, when we did have real service, the barkeep was top notch (with great stories and all". In all it was a great experience, but not the experience you would be expecting in a top of the line luxury hotel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456416 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585119 The biggest dissapointment were the dingy bathrooms and that it was not in the French Quarter as listed in Travel agency. I would stay somewhere else for a few dollars more next time. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585119 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456417 The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456417 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456418 Avoid the sychophantic bellman. He blew kisses at me, kept calling me "lovely, beautiful queen" - "jewel" and any number of other odd names. He never once carried our bags, summoned our car from parking, or did anything helpful. He just made self-serving, fawning comments. He was very, very annoying. I saw him do the same to several other women. At the end of our stay (as we carried our own luggage toward valet parking)he actually grabbed me by the hand and asked for a tip, proposing $8 for him for each day of our stay! Believe it or not, he was not as as creepy as the other one who offered to "keep an eye on" my teenage girls (who were staying in a separte room on another floor). Clean hotel - In the middle of remodeling the ground floor (as are many hotels in New Orleans). Convenient location. Scarry, creepy staff. We won't be back. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r456418 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585120 Some New Orleans hotels can be a little sketchy, especially post-K. This hotel is clean, elegant, modern, and has a friendly and helpful staff. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are large and roomy enough for several people to be getting ready at the same time. It's very centrally located right on the edge of the French Quarter, close to Canal Street. Rooms aren't enormous, but I've definitely had smaller and more-cramped rooms in other NOLA hotels. Also, the toiletries are a cool high-end brand "Lather." Recommended. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Renaissance_Pere_Marquette_Hotel_New_Orleans/r585120
