Stayed here for Jazzfest 2013, booked the room well in advance. I was excited to finally stay right on Bourbon St. As many others say, the valet isn't the greatest, as their isn't much room to pull your car over and unload. Not that big of a deal. My stay was good, but check-in was the poorest aspect of my... More

I attended a trade association meeting in New Orleans; people from Japan, Europe, Canada, and the US all traveled and met at the Astor Crown Plaza Hotel. We occupied a good portion of the second floor's meeting space for 3 days. Many of us also stayed at the same hotel. Everything worked out ok. I would recommend the hotel, and... More

This hotel was quite nice indeed. I could not believe the reviews I read about unprofessionalism after staying here. All of the staff we came into contact with were extremely courteous. The only downsides were the valet parking, the Internet service, and the location. On the first part, the valet parking has only enough room for two or three cars,... More

This is such an important factor for a hotel in this day and age that I cannot give it anything other than "terrible". Constantly drops coverage and goes back to the agreement page. Extremely slow when connected. This was true even in the lobby.
