We LOVED our stay at the Loft Towers at the Embassy Suites New Orleans. We were really happy with the loft towers and found them very quiet. As an artist, I found the unfinished former-Sugar refinery walls amazing...which truly added a unique charm to the large rooms. The breakfast in the lofts was very basic (do-your-own waffles, cereal, bagels, toast, scrambled eggs, etc.) but the breakfast in the "main" hotel was great with wonderful omelets and other "upgraded" selections from the Lofts. The walk to the French Quarter, Harrah's Casino, the Rivercenter Mall, etc. was safer than most cities, we walked the routes around 1 to 2 AM and never felt unsafe. We also appreciated our "own" concierge/customer service desk in the Lofts...we were always greeted warmly and genuinely felt welcome! One day, we stayed in with our "Do Not Disturb" sign out until after 3PM and did not expect our room to be cleaned... Surprisingly, everything was changed out and cleaned when we returned a few hours later (amazing what a tip left on the pillow will do...a lesson we learned over many years of travelling!) The friendliness of the entire staff was amazing..from check-in, to the manager's reception bartenders/waiters, to housekeeping, to our Loft's concierge... We are actually planning a return trip to NOLA just due to the wonderful time we had at this terrific, unique hotel. The morning of our check-out, we were even able to "walk" our bags down to the cruise ship terminal -- no taxi fares, no wait, no fuss. We were checked-out of the hotel and checked-in to our cruise ship in less than 20 minutes! Thanks to the caring staff, convenient location, and unique building architecture/design, we definitely rate this a 5-Star experience!
