This is a top notch establishment with a very friendly staff. I really felt welcome at this hotel. The managers reception offered an excellent break from sightseeing with a nice selection of food. Breakfast was again excellent with friendly and helpful staff. The motel is at an excellent location and parking is close by. Cost is $17 a day. The place is not cheap but if you take advantage of the breakfast and manager's reeception it is more economical. The location is probably not for everyone if you are unable or unwilling to walk six blocks to the French Quarter.I made the walk frequently sometimes with my family and sometimes alone both at night and during the day and never felt unsafe. I actually appreciated the break from the hustle and noise of Bourbon Street but then I am not 20 anymore. We came as a family and this was an excellent place for my finicky teenagers who greatly enjoyed the food, fitness room and pool.

We have stayed just outside the French Quarter 4 other times but this was our first stay with Homewood Suites. It was fantastic. I couldn't give any higher praise. The staff were all friendly, helpful and happy to be doing their jobs. The room was very large compared to other NO hotel rooms. We had fridge, micro and stove although we only used the fridge. Parking was cheaper than any other hotel I contacted and the room was clean, the bed was wonderful and the breakfast was fabulous. Waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, cereal, yogurt. You name it, they had it. And in the evening during the week they have wine, beer and a light dinner/snack for you. The distance from the French Quarter was about 4 blocks. We will definitely look for Homewood Suites when we travel this summer out West.

Clean, quiet. Rather average service and amenities. Somewhat out of the way, but good access to taxi's and the St. Charles trolley. A good value.

We chose this hotel because we were traveling with our two teenage sons, and were looking for extra room and some privacy. The hotel had very good reviews on this site, and overall, our experience was positive too. But there were some snafus. What went wrong: 1) We had booked a 2-bedroom suite, clearly specifying the choice of one bedroom with a king bed, the other with 2 doubles. It was on our confirmation printout, but when we reached the suite, both bedrooms had king beds. We had heard a clerk at reception tell someone on the phone that they were totally booked. Also, we had asked for a room not too near the elevator, and our suite was tucked nicely into a corner of the building, so our sons said it was not a big deal, and we didn't complain. 2) However, we did need to complain that the carpet on one side of one of the bedrooms was totally saturated with liquid. A call to the desk quickly brought a maintenance man, who diagnosed a problem with the air conditioner, made a repair, and returned with a Shop-Vac to suck up as much liquid as possible. However, it remained damp for our 5-day stay, and another wet patch was present by the intake vent in the living area. Hmm. 3) PARKING. The self-park lot specified (for which we were charged $17/day) was an open air lot down the block. We didn't mind the short walk, but turns out the lot is vastly oversold, so by 8:30 in the AM our car was so totally parked in that it took the attendant 20 minutes each time to get it out. The front desk told us they knew parking was a problem, but there was nothing they could do. The positives: 1) Staff is friendly. The free buffet breakfast didn't have as many options as Embassy Suites usually does, but there was fresh fruit, a few hot dishes, and some good breads and pastries each day. The evening reception was simple, but a nice touch. 2) Location is very convenient for walking to much of the downtown, including the French Quarter, riverfront, etc. 3) Nicely equipped small kitchen, and our sons particuarly appreciated the microwave popcorn.
