Overview

Centrally located one block from the Canal Street light rail station

Guest rooms are showing signs of wear and tear

If you think that you might find staying at a French Quarter hotel tiring, then you should investigate the accommodations located right on the outskirts. One such hotel would be The Westin New Orleans Canal Place, a property that gets consistent praise for allowing its residents to let their hair down in the midst of the crazy Crescent City. Some say it's the river rivers and the Heavenly Beds, others say it’s the efficient housekeeping staff and pleasant service, still others muse that it's the nightcaps served in the hotel's River 127 lounge – whatever the reason, they agree this Westin definitely offers stress-free accommodations. Recent guests say they can't award the hotel perfect reviews, though, because of worn room interiors and slow elevators. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
