Last time I was in New Orleans it was pre-Katrina, so I wasnt really sure how the city looked, or what hotels were left, remodeled, open, etc....so anyway, got a great price for the JW Marriott(theres 2 on Canal St. so make sure you book this one) for only $99 a night on Orbitz., which was a great price. The... more

The JW Marriott is the perfect location in this wonderful city! We walked EVERYWHERE! The staff~ I cannot say enough good things about the way we were treated! They go above and beyond with service and their recommrndations were excellent! The rooms~ OK, so maybe they need a little sprucing up! The bathroom configuration in our corner room was a... more

I've stayed at Marriotts before, though I tend to prefer Starwood Properties. I was in New Orleans for a work event and needed to stay at the JW Marriott, so I was really looking forward to seeing Marriott's "high end" brand. How disappointing. The Lobby and public areas were nice, but the rooms seemed like someone had attempted a token... more

Anybody looking to visit New Orleans and find the perfect spot to stay should find their way to the J.W. Marriott on Canal Street. It's located in the perfect spot on Canal, a short distance from the wilds of Bourbon St, but within walking distance of everything. My guests and I stayed over Halloween weekend of 2008 and were treated... more

The JW Marriott brand implies two things: an upscale property with excellent service. The service at this hotel did fulfill the service portion but I'm afraid the old lady looks a little worn around the edges. The lobby was very nice, but the room was simply ordinary and could easily pass for a typical Marriott. I had an oversized corner... more

I was a bit apprehensive after reading the reviews of this hotel. If this is an example of how Marriott runs their top tier, they have not learned very much about the hotel industry in the past 85 years. - Check in was slow despite only one person in front of me. - No one available to take bags up... more

Just got back from a meeting that I was fortunate enough to be a part of the hosting committee...we selected the JW Marriott as our meeting hotel and we made a good decision...from all of our members that attended the meeting (and the hotel was booked by our members)...no one had a complaint what so ever...I think the most frequent... more

I have stayed at the JW Marriott many times both before and after Katrina. Good location with very dated, noisy rooms and poor over all service. Noisy rooms mean every time someone opens and closes there hotel door you can hear it slam and you can hear your neighbors tv and phone calls. Remember, New Orleans is a convention city... more

This is a standard Marriott -- not sure it is quite the caliber of any other JW Marriott's which I have visited. That said, the hotel is a good location for sampling all the wonderful things in New Orleans. The location on Canal is right across from the French Quarter making it a little quieter than some other area hotels.... more
