Fantastic hotel located outside of the busy French Quarter yet on the Mississippi, across the street from Harrahs and a trolley outside the hotel to take anywhere. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable beds, great bathroom. I will tell anyone to stay here for a trip to New Orleans. Loved it!

Nice enough hotel but it's not conveniently located and you will likely feel ripped-off. First the location. It's not really that close to the french quarter - it looks close on a map, but it's not. If you want to be In the quarter there are so many beautiful places to stay right there - don't stay here. It's also... More

We Stayed here for a national, proffesional convention my wife was attending (I and a cousin were just along for the ride). First off, like others have said, the location is prime real estate! It puts you right along the Mississippi river, directly across from Harrahs Casino, as well as LITERALLY 15-20 minute walk from heart of the Quarter. Make... More

The biggest advantage of this hilton is its location. Its right opposite the casino and the cable car / tram station. Its about a 10 minute walk to the french quarter and bourbourn street. The rooms were large but a little dated and had a musky smell. we were upgraded to executive floor being Gold members and had access to... More

Having both business and family in the area, I have been coming to New Orleans for many years. I have stayed in several of the hotels in the CBD and Canal St. areas. The location of this hotel is the perfect compromise. You have a reasonably short, safe walk to the Quarter, close to the lower CBD, Convention Center, Warehouse... More

Booked this hotel for some pre-summer camp fun with our 5-year old son. Parked the car and never moved it until check out. I highly recommend this particular Hilton if you are traveling to N.O. for family fun with kids-yound and old. The convenience of walking out of the Hilton and hopping on the streetcar to the Frech Quarter, Woldenberg... More

We were here four nights for a long weekend. We booked the executive level and this was a complete waste of money. We walked in to our room to a very large stain on the carpet right by the bed. My husband went to open the bedside end table drawer and the handle broke off in pieces in his hand.... More

I've stayed at the Hilton Riverside twice. I must say that I've enjoyed both stays. Drago's is fabulous and the bar is always a great place to unwind. It is quite convenient to Harrah's as well. We stayed on the Executive Floor this time and the breakfast and the bar/finger food in the afternoon was top notch. The breakfast buffet,... More

Way better than the Double Tree down the road. We were booked for 5 nights at DT but checked out after first night and came here. Decent place with clean rooms that have a fridge.
