voco St James Hotel by IHG

Comfort and beauty of hotel.

Parking cost a bit pricey

Location. Cute and cozy.

Very small no parking

Check in and check out were both very smooth, and they were very helpful with storing luggage and getting me set up with a taxi to take me to the airport (take taxis to and from the airport in NOLA, as it's a flat fee unlike ride share apps) and even contacting the taxi service and troubleshooting with me when the taxi was held up in traffic and late to arrive. My room was basic but very neat and nicely decorated with nice high ceilings. The bed was super comfortable and I slept like a baby. I will say if you're an early sleeper the area might still be a little bit loud for you (there is a wedding venue right next door so the festivities can cause noise) but the noise in the area generally died down by 10pm. The curtains are very light blocking although my room did have a skylight so if you require absolute darkness for sleep you may want to inquire about that. I personally liked the skylight as the windows were small and the added natural light helped a lot with the lighting in the room. The shower water pressure was great and heated up quickly.

Nothing I can think of

Great breakfast great bar overall stay 10

Early checking and could have been better

The staff are lovely! We were greeted with a warm welcome and consistent hospitality from hotel staff. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Great location.

Very clean and great location

Pricy

The service and staff are exceptional at this hotel - Terrance at breakfast, Serena at the front desk, and especially the amazing, wonderful Charles out front! We picked a very busy weekend to visit, but they made us feel right at home. We will be back!

I wouldn't change a thing except to maybe know in advance that valet parking would not be available. The situation was easily rectified and did not impact our stay.
