This is a nice hotel with comfy beds and a free continental breakfast that was very nice (hot foods, bagels, fruit, cereal, french toast...etc). The rooms were clean and it was quiet.
Our room had a fridge and microwave. The hotel has a a little market with ice cream, lean cuisines, pop, etc... overpriced food, but it was convenient when arriving late from the airport. They also have complimentary cookies and coffee in the evenings. The Warehouse Deli they advertise has been closed since Katrina. There is a simple bar/restaurant, Dino's, a block away that had good food for lunch. There is a mini-mart about 10 minutes walk to buy popcorn, snacks, drinks, etc at somewhat more reasonable prices.
This is an excellent location for those attending conferences at the convention center. It is a 15 minute (easy/flat) walk to the Hilton Riverside, The Riverwalk Mall, Harrah's, Canal Street, etc. It's also about a 15 minute walk to the St. Charles Streetcar.
