Stayed here for two nights for a conference. This hotel was the site of the conference so I had little choice but this was okay.

I requested a room on the Club level and despite a rather snooty check-in agent who told me that this was a request and could not be guaranteed (despite Starwood membership), I did get a room on the 47th floor.

The room was very nice with great toiletries in the bathroom by Bliss. Plenty of hot water with great pressure. Free water and a nice robe on the Club floor too.

The Club lounge was great with amazing views of the city and the river. The staff in the lounge could not have been nicer. They put out wonderful cookies in the evening and one of the ladies went out of her way to find me a cookie to have for breakfast the next morning as I had to leave the hotel at 4.30 am for an early flight.

I had breakfast in the Club lounge on my first morning and it was generous with great pastries. The evening hors de ouvres were also generous.

Outside of the snooty check-in person all other staff were exceptionally friendly. I was greeted by any and all staff that I passed in the hallways or elevators.

New Orleans still has a way to go to recover - go and visit and spend some money in this wonderful city

This hotel has a great location on the edge of the French Quarter, two blocks from Harrah's, three from River Walk, and not a bad walk from the convention center. It is close to all three of New Orleans' street car lines. It has an excellent meeting facility which was perfect for our conference of about 800 people. This was my second stay in this hotel - the first was a few weeks before Katrina. They've renovated a bit, and it shows. Not major changes - mostly looks the same, but a little fresher and less worn.

Food for the conference was good, but the coffee was lousy. Why can't upscale hotels make good coffee for large groups when even Dunkin' Donuts can make a decent cup? Even the coffee in the restaurant was poor. Fortunately, there is a Starbucks in the lobby. Service, however, was excellent - the staff was friendly and helpful. By the way, don't eat in the hotel restaurant, it was good but not spectacular, and VERY expensive for what you get. Fortunately, I only did one breakfast there.

My room was by the elevator, which worried me, but there was no extra noise from the elevator. My room had an unusual layout for a chain hotel room - the bathroom was not by the door, it was on the other side of the bedroom. The king size bed was as comfortable as I've come to expect from Sheraton - very. There was also a very comfortable easy chair, but it did not have a good view of the TV. I especially liked that the windows had interior wooden shutters instead of a curtain. It was very attractive, and made it easy to control the amount of light. Maid service was excellent.

All in all, a very good hotel.

This is a lovely hotel. The bell staff were fun and very informative. After we checked in we stopped by to get a recommendation from them on a lunch spot. They chatted us up then sent us to Acme Oyster Co. Great call we couldn't have been happier. Our room was really nice with a beautiful view. The pool was smaller then expected but nice. They could use more chairs but laying on the edge of the pool was just fine. We had one minor hiccup but nothing to stress over. This is a great location to the Quarter and a Starbucks in the lobby. I would stay here again.

I stayed at the Sheraton while at a conference. Stayed 2 nights. Room was clean and maintenance fairly good. Nice view of the river. Good location. Room service(breakfast) was very prompt food good and at temperature. Also a Starbucks in the lobby. Staff accomodating. After reading other reviews I expected noise but it was very quiet. Good trip all in all.
