I was in NOLA for business and decided to extend my stay for two days. Chose to remain at the HIE since that is where the business reservation was. Previous reviews were mixed - some okay, some not. I did not really know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I... more

The forty of us on the tour really enjoyed staying at the HIE in Nashville earlier in the holiday as the rooms, decor was a really high standard. How disappointed were we all! For starters, about a third of us had rooms overlooking other room windows. One couple had a window which was overlooking the internal hallway. No window to... more

Well unlike the last reviewer that has an issue with thrifty travellers, which by staying here I guess that what it makes me and my wife the hotle in all was not bad just average. The late check-in.was a little ridiculous, since most people arrive usually much earlier as my wife and i did. The front desk staff did little... more

The hotel with its late 4:00 pm check-in was not ready when I tried to check in at 5:00 pm. When I asked what time the room would be ready, they could not even tell me. I noticed I wasn't the only one who was told to come back at later time. Unless you are a college-age adult, avoid this... more

Stayed there for a conference. The hotel is 2 blocks from the French Quarter (Bourbon Street) and Canal Street, a relatively easy walk. There is a Walgreens and soon-to-be CVS located within short walking distance, so any needed supplies are easy to get. The businesses on the street are being renovated so daytime noise and construction were somewhat loud, but... more

We attended a Piratecon convention in the French Quarter April 17-20, 2008. Our designated hotel was the Holiday Inn Express on Carondelet. My roomate and myself felt the hotel was a great value. The rooms were clean, and quiet, it was a quick walk to Bourbon St., so the convenience was great, since alot of our events were held on... more

I had been wanting to visit New Orleans and found this hotel on Hotwire. The location was terrific - we walked everywhere. The hotel is adequate although it isn't great if you are planning on spending lots of time in the room. The staff was always pleasant every time we came through the lobby and there is a concierge who... more

with a late 4pm checkin room was not ready - told to wait at least another 45mins. Requested several days before a rollaway bed but was placed in a room that could NOT accomodate a rollaway bed. alarms going off all night - this place is a rude mess. will avoid holiday inns at all cost. more

The HI Express near the French Quarter is actually located in the CBD, but an easy stroll of a block and a half to Bourbon street, the aorta of French Quarter nightlife. The location is therefore very good, close to the action, but in a quiet-ish street. Rooms aren't overly large, with a tiny bathroom, but equipped with different kinds... more

This place is a dump. The lobby smells (stinks) of smoke, the entrace is worn and dated. When we went to check in, the desk crew barely acknowledged our presence. We were given the wrong room, only one bed insted of two. The room we finally got was very dated. The wall fixture had no shade, the table wobbled to... more
