So, here is the thing. It is always difficult to know when you book online if you will get what you think you are booking. Well rest assured that with the Chateau Orleans that what you see is what you will receive. We were lucky enough to book six nights and we wished we had booked 7. Our room was spacious, nicely decorated, and extremely comfortable. I am a bit of a germ phobia, so I always bring cleaning supplies when ever I travel. I was able to sanitize my room (and again this is only for me) and be out on Bourbon Street within minutes after arrival. The Front desk was aware and waiting on us at check-in and our room was ready when we arrived. Paul, the super GM was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about the area. He can give you precise directions with his eyes closed and one hand tied behind his back faster than a speeding bullet. His no nonsense and upfront manner is refreshing and enjoyable. The hotel staff is friendly and always ready to offer suggestions to great spots in the Quarter. The resorts’ location is not to be beat. You are literally within walking distance to everything. Canal St., Bourbon St., the Casino, great food, awesome bars, nightclubs, art galleries, and street performers every 50 feet. It is true that the beds are a little firmer than most and you will want to bring you some coffee (room does include coffee maker) if you drink it, but hands down Chateau Orleans is a winner. Hospitality, location, pool, great courtyard, and parking. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be staying at the Chateau when we return.
Fyi…parking is a bit costly so budget for that. Also, there are several parking garages within a block or two of the resort, however the convenience, security and accessibility of the resort parking garage is worth the extra that you spend.
