We flew into NOLA for a wedding. Prior to arrival I communicated with the hotel requesting amenities , towels etc for our entire stay so we would not have to coordinate daily during this busy weekend. We arrived before check-in and I, again contacted the hotel asking if we could by any chance check in early. We not out checked in early, we were greeted with a smile and all of the ammenities for the entire stay.
My husband inquired about transportation options and Uneka (sorry if not spelling g right), gave him options. He came back up to the room to discuss. Minutes later the phone rang and it was Uneka (sp?). She had a pedicab company on the line getting prices etc. We booked it and enjoyed a beautiful ride to our first event at Arnauds. (Pedicab is the way to go).
We had to fly out early 425am. When we left check-out was simple. I noticed the front desk had to unlock the front lobby door. This was a plus. I felt safe knowing we were secure.
The hotel was quiet, clean and cozy. Beds are amazingly comfortable. We did not bring back food leftovers because we were jumping from venue to venue. If you are going to bring back leftovers. Invest in a styrofoam cooler. There is not a fridge or microwave. As for snacks, we made a quick walk one block to Nesbitts Market. It had a way better selection than vending machines; the hotel does not have vending machines. No biggie for us. The room does have a coffee maker.
I would definitely recommend the Magnolia. It was removed enough from the crazy night life but close enough to walk and do tourist type things. If you want comfy, quaint, personalized attention,this is the place. If you want to party and need the commercial ammenities, look for a chain hotel.
Thanks to all at Magnolia who made our stay a memorable one.
