Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter

Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all friendly and courteous. The room was very comfortable although as I am 6'3" tall, the bathroom was very cramped! I had to leave the bathroom to change my mind. The restaurant attached to the hotel was very good and I took advantage of the credit vouchers I received to enjoy a wonderful breakfast there. I would absolutely reserve a room there again."
