The bad: do not stay here if you are a light sleeper. Seriously. Between the trolley and train right outside the hotel sounding their whistles at all hours of the night and traffic noise, I barely got any sleep the entire week we were there. We were on the 26th floor and we may as well have been on the ground level for how noisy it was some nights. I'm surprised more people don't mention this in their reviews. We had a couple poor experiences with the front desk and lounge, and while both times senior staff stepped in and made things right but it still caused frustration when we should have been enjoying our vacation. The hotel lobby is quite nice, but the rooms are in need of a makeover and a good clean. Finally, this is a Viking cruise destination and some of the days we were there were insanely busy, so much so that it was impossible to ever get a table in the lounge or get onto an elevator. One day we were forced to walk down 15 flights so we didn't miss our tour.
I have yet to receive a legitimate response concerning my stay. Think twice about staying here. It seems like, (from the “selected” reviews), they are a 5 star hotel. It is far from that. I challenge you to investigate further and read the negative reviews. There are many negative reviews with similar complaints. My experience is as follows:
I decided to valet park my car thinking it would be safer than parking in an open public parking lot. They boast about the parking garage being a safe and secure environment, 24 hour cameras, and security guards to protect your car. My car was broken into and damaged in an attempt to steal my car. There was very little to no help from the parking company, security company nor the hotel. Everyone pointed fingers of responsibility to someone else. So many outright lies from them made it impossible to make a police report. With the exception of a doorman, not a single person with the any of theses companies would help me. TWO DAYS later I had a complete breakdown in the lobby after begging the front desk to give me a few garbage bags and tape so I could cover the windows that were broken out. Really? This is supposed to be a nice hotel that prides itself on taking care of their guest. I don’t think a few garbage bags and tape was impossible!!! There was also a large fresh, dent and scrape on the front bumper of my car that I suspect valet services caused parking my car. Car insurance will not cover the repair. The only thing the hotel did was help me get home, (I did not live in New Orleans), and gave me three vouchers for drinks at the bar. I am responsible for the costs of insurance deductible, my costs to repair the damage valet caused, paying for travel to and from work, grocery store etc. I am the main care giver for my mother. The cost for transportation to her doctor appointments are expensive. I will NEVER stay at another Westin Hotel, or any officiates of the Westin.
And yea did I mention prime time real estate. HUMBRA
I was charged $50 for valet parking and a week later I received an $85 ticket alleging my car was in the parking garage for over 18 hours without paying.
Multiple phone and email contacts with the hotel were made with no resolution, despite all of the evidence, including my invoice from the hotel clearly showing that I paid for valet parking.
I will not be staying at the Westin again, and will discourage anyone else from patronizing it, especially if driving into New Orleans and needing parking.
My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and were very pleased with the cleanliness and size of the rooms as well as the overall upkeep of the hotel. Breakfast downstairs also was surprisingly solid, and the live entertainment and quality of the bar in the check-in lobby was a pleasant surprise. Gym’s a bit dated, but is decently spacious. Would highly recommend!
