Le Méridien New Orleans consistently receives positive feedback regarding its friendly and helpful staff, particularly at the front desk and bar. While praised for location and cleanliness, recurring issues include fluctuating water temperatures in showers, inconsistent service levels (especially regarding early check-ins), and occasional discrepancies with incidental fees. Some guests have reported unexpected room downgrades and staff responsiveness to these concerns.

My husband and I stayed here while celebrating my birthday and found the hotel to be very nice. The staff was extremely kind even before knowing we were celebrating my birthday. Erica and Joy at the front desk took great care of us and had such great hospitality which seems so rare these days. They really made it feel like a home away from home. I’d definitely return when in NOLA again. Note to management: The water temperature fluctuated greatly while showering. It would go from cool to extremely hot without moving the knob. This made showering with kids a bit difficult since it was unpredictable when the temperature would shift to be too hot for them. We were in room 511.

If you can’t accommodate an early check-In don’t mention it at all. My flight landed at 8:50am I was willing to pay for an early check-an but was told that wouldn’t be necessary. Front desk seemed unorganized and didn’t know what was going on. Then when I asked the front desk staff, if there was any information regarding my check In she said just wait until 4pm. The only thing that made me happy about this place was the lady working the bar name Raven. She was excellent! She is who the four stars were for. Thank You Raven you made this process so much more convenient. Can’t rate the rooms yet because I’ve been waiting for 4hours and have two more hours to go. Thumbs down ?

We stayed at Le Méridien New Orleans and had a mixed experience that really came down to the people. Check-in was handled by Ms. Joy, who explained everything, including the resort fees and daily credit. Early check-in was not an issue, which we appreciated. However, when we asked for a room in a quiet location, she refused to check availability and instead stated that the hotel was at capacity. We went to the bar afterward and met Raven. While she wasn’t very friendly at first, she completely turned it around—warming up, offering great restaurant and activity recommendations, and making sure our drinks were exactly to our liking. Tawana, who was also working the bar, was very nice and welcoming from the beginning. Shane, the assistant manager for the bar/restaurant, greeted us and checked in to make sure our stay was going well throughout our visit. While sitting at the bar, Jasmin, the Director of Front Office, came over to speak with us and immediately resolved our room issue by getting us a better room. She even took care of our drinks, which was a special and much-appreciated touch. Bartenders Vegas and Brandon were also great—thanks for the extra chips, Brandon! Cons: • No working ice machine; ice must be picked up from the front desk • No bathroom in the lobby (you have to go to the second floor) • Daily housekeeping must be requested Overall, the hotel itself is decent, and several staff members truly went above and beyond. However, due to the inconsistencies, I would not stay here again.

If I could give 0 I would. Currently staying at this location under friends and family rate. My total for stay states $569. Upon check in I was told total plus $100 incidental fee would be charged. My total charged was $624 (hold) . On day 2 I was charged another $100 incidental fee. When I called to inquire I was told several things that because very alarming. First person on the phone stated my total was actually lower than I paid (515). Then stated there is a $100 per day incidental fee??? Never in my life has this ever happened at any hotel even 5 star ( which this is NOT). Then transfer to manager who stated this was emailed to me. When I asked for email I still have yet to receive proff of this. Then she states my room was upgraded upon arrival and the do not charge incidental when you arrive ( again never had this happen at any hotel because incidental is always help upon arrival). I stated that I did not ask for an upgrade and the room we are currently in is a king room as stated on my booking. It also smells like smoke and I have a teenager in there who has allergies. The room was a downgrade!!!. I was told she would rectify the situation and currently i have yet to hear anything back from her or about the situation . Check out is at 11. Hopefully I will be updating this post with good news.

The whole bar staff were incredible: Vegas, Paul, Brandon, and Raven. Front desk agents are amazing! Shootout to Ms. Joy and Coreyelle! Yes, the elevators were not working during my stay, but the staff did everything they could get people up and down in a timely fashion. Cheers to Kenny for providing the best service possible as a GM! Will definitely be back to visit the property. NOTE: The destination fee is used as a $25 daily credit towards food & beverage as well as other perks. If you are an elite member, you receive a $30 voucher for breakfast which is more than any other "luxury" Marriott property in downtown New Orleans.

I stayed here December 26th through 28th; my stay was AMAZING! The service, room food was 10/10. They gave us 25 dollars to use at the restaurant/bar. We used it at the restaurant but I'm literally just looking at my statement and it wasn't taken off. I will call after 8am inregards to this BUT this is on me because I should have said something (was in a rush and not paying attention). Overall I will definitely be staying here again! The views, locations, cleanliness customer service 10/10.

Booked the hotel via amex hotel collection. This stay was an amazing value. Location wise this hotel is perfect for us, right across from Caesars Casino, the Riverwalk, and walking distance to Bourbon Street. Valet service was excellent throughout my stay. I wanted to highlight the service of the housekeeping staff, specifically Janet B., she was very attentive to our requests! Great customer service makes or breaks hotels, but Le Meridien excelled.

Wow! I’ve traveled all over the world and stayed at many hotels, but there is something really special about Le Meridian in New Orleans. All of the staff is incredible and they greet you as if they’ve been waiting for you to arrive. Smiles from the moment the doors open. The room was perfectly set for us to check in. The free coffee bar every morning is a pleasure to wake up to.. breakfast was delicious and the cocktails were exactly what we were hoping for. The manager was happy to help with any and all requests we had. She paid attention to detail, and she really made us feel at home in their hotel. Pj, thanks to you and your team for creating a memorable stay for us. We can’t wait to stay at your hotel again!! 10/10 on everything!

My husband and I are loyal Marriott customers. This was the most disappointing experience we have had at a Marriott hotel. Staff was either ill-informed or didn’t care to inform us properly about things like the included destination fees. WiFi was down the entire duration of our stay. Front desk staff were rude and unkind. Valet and bar staff were much nicer. We booked this hotel thinking we would get high-end service and amenities. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We have experienced much better service at lower level Marriott hotels like springhill and courtyard. This place wasn’t worth the price

My son and I traveled down for the weekend, they worked with us for an early check-in before the Pelicans game. The staff were very friendly and accommodating with the check-in and valet parking. We ate at the small bar that’s there on site, the food was really good and the service there was great also. They have a nice little “pantry” close to the check-in counter that was fairly well stocked with snacks and drinks. The only caution I would extend is concerning the minibar. Whenever I went through my bill I saw that I was charged for 2 items. I called the front desk and they addressed it right away. There is a fridge in the faux dresser for drinks that we brought in with us, it will keep them cool but not cold. Overall though it was a great experience and we’ll stay here again.
