AC Hotel by Marriott New Orleans French Quarter
"A modern interior for sure. Bathroom had a rain shower that got the job done but not sure if I liked it. Great TV channels though didn't watch much. The location can't be beat. So close to the French Quarter yet much quieter. I'd probably stay here again"

Considering the room rate, this is how Marriott is saving money? Room was on the 21st floor. There was no hot water. ..."
