Fodor's Expert Review New Orleans Marriott Hotel

This centrally located 41-story skyscraper boasts fabulous views of the Quarter, downtown, and the Mississippi River. It's an easy walk from the Shops at Canal Place mall, the Riverwalk outlet mall, and the Convention Center. Rooms are comfortable, and service is friendly (if uneven), though the hotel lacks a sense of place. It's consistently busy with convention visitors, and the crowds in the lobby sometimes rival those on Bourbon Street.
