La Quinta Inn & Suites New Orleans East - Chalmette Area - New Orleans 30.05161, -89.95193

When I arrived I was to have a room with 2 Queen Beds, non-smoking. But all they would give me was a smoking room with one king bed and a pull out couch. This is very upsetting after traveling for hours.

1. Based upon the clarity of the water and the debris on the bottom, the swimming pool was not inviting. Perhaps this can be attributed to the absence of water circulation. 2. The continental breakfast was very good. 3. The housekeeper did not correct the two deficiencies that were identified on the room card. Consequently, I had to hold the handle on the commode in the down position in order to complete a flush. 4. Upon entry, the room temperature was too cold due to the thermostat setting. 5. The ice maker provided sufficient cubes.

I chose this hotel primarily for its proximity to Interstate 10. Accessing the hotel from the interstate was a bit tricky. The hotel sits on I-10 Service Road which runs parallel to the interstate but besides an access road to the interstate. So, once you exit I-10, be sure not to continue driving straight through the traffic light by the overpass or else you will remain on the access road. Instead, in order to get to I-10 Service Road, you should immediately make a right onto Bullard Avenue and then make a left at the first traffic light. We checked into the hotel at 2 p.m. on a weekday. The two ladies of the front desk were apathetic, but efficient in the check-in process. The lobby is divided into two areas with large couches. A giant flat screen television dominates one side and is surrounded with 3 couches. The other half of the lobby has smaller couches and one desk with a computer for guests’ use. The entire lobby felt sticky and warm. We were initially assigned to a 3rd floor room. The elevator’s floor was grimy owing to the cheap sheet vinyl used as flooring. Our room was not completely cleaned e.g. no clean towels, dirty towels in the closet, and no pillow cases. The air conditioner was old and did not adequately cool the room. After inquiring into the state of the room, we were assigned to another room two doors down from the original one. This room had a new a/c unit and was clean. The air conditioners in the hotel are a mix of new and old. This translates into sporadic uncomfortable spots of heat. The bed mattresses are firm and each bed had four comfortable pillows. The bed sheets were clean and the beds nicely made. The room’s television remote had “stuck” buttons. This made navigating through the channels difficult. The hotel provides basic cable with a sprinkling of premium channels. Not all the outlets in the room functioned properly. The bedside lamps did not function at all. The bathroom’s tub was small and a bit shabby. Bare minimum toiletrie

room was comfortable and affordable. issues!!! 1.front desk clerk made a discriminating comment upon my arrival, still waiting for corporate office to respond to this matter. 2. front desk personnel need extensive training on how to handle online reservations. 3. general manager behavior was offensive, irate and unprofessional. while new orleans east struggle to rebuild the general manager here is a poor representation of La Quinta.

Liked it very much

The hotel is an area that was flooded during Katrina. Although, its been several years the area is still recovering. In the surrounding area there are many vacant business and homes. The motel is in excellent condition and the staff was extremely friendly. I felt like the area was glad to have tourist and it showed in their hospitality. The motel has a great breakfast bar and very clean rooms. It is located right off the interstate which made it convenient to travel to the French Quarter, around New Orleans, and to Gulfport Mississippi.

Bad smell

Pool was closed. This was one of the reasons we selected it. So 3 young grandsons were dissapointed. Did find one ant crawling on my bed.

When looking for an affordable place to stay in New Orleans, this hotel worked out ok. There seemed to be a "damp" feeling / smell throughout the hotel, but nothing to get too worked up over. I don't like the central New Orleans area, so for ease of access to my final destination it worked out well and the price was about 1/3 less than a few of the hotels closer to my destination on the "West Bank." Since I left the hotel early in the morning traffic was not a factor, if I was leaving to head to the West Bank during normal hours, I would have paid the extra money and stayed closer. For a good priced room on a short notice this worked out fine.

1. A paper list of available television stations was not provided. 2. The swimming pool was never operational during my five day occupancy. 3. The continental breakfast was very good.

This hotel has an easy access for travelers and is located close to restaurant and gas station.

They had a very nice selection of breakfast foods for a hotel. Neighborhood felt secure would stay here again.

The hotel was clean and staff was very helpful. The room was very spacious and the beds slept well. The hotel area is quiet and cozy. If you are looking for a great hotel for the value, this is it. I will definitely stay here again if visiting New Orleans.

Nice room. Clean hotel. Breakfast included hot waffles, fresh fruit, good yogurt, cold cereal and muffins/breads. Friendly helpful staff. Did have a slight odor, since it was involved in Katrina. All in all, worth the money. Off the beaten track but had RP Buffet nearby( all you can eat, crab legs , sushi, good selection for $10). IHOP/McDonalds also nearby.

Outstanding hotel and would recommend to anyone. Pleasant room at a great rate.

hotel and staff great. breakfast sucked. not worth going to get.

After staying at a few other hotels in New Orleans, we were pleasantly surprised to find a hotel that was WAY nicer than the other hotels for a better price! There was traditional hotel parking available (not secured by a locked gate), but it was free and it was safe. We did not hear any noises while in our room at night. We were very happy with the room. It was clean and very comfortable. We didn't eat breakfast so I don't know how it was. There were only two places to eat within walking distance of the hotel--IHOP and a Japanese/American buffet. There was at least a McDonalds a little farther away if you want to drive. The Japanese/American place we went to but after pulling into the parking lot we left. Any buffet that has 1 customer at 7pm at night, is a buffet I don't care to go to. Everyone local must know something I don't.... The IHOP appeared nice, but after going inside, they told us they didn't have most of what was on the menu, they said they ran out of everything. They didn't even have napkins. They used the same paper towels in the bathroom to wrap the silverware. The bathrooms had a sewage backup issue that you could smell as soon as the bathroom door opened. So with these choices for food within walking distance, eat before you get to the hotel exit! The hotel was GREAT. I have nothing bad to say, but it would have been nice if we would have known before arriving at the hotel that there was not any place to eat nearby.

This was a really good hotel for the price. Very secure and neat.

The staff was friendly. The locations was convienient and had easy access to the Interstate and an IHOP was within walking distance. Would do it again.

Hotel stay was great. The rooms were nicely prepared each morning and breakfast was a wonderful addition. Recommend this for anyone trying to get a great deal for family or traveling.

The hotel staff was nice, our room was always clean when we came back, and the hotel looked lovely. The continental breakfast was pretty diverse: cereal, assorted prepackaged pastries and muffins, make your own waffles, and yogurt. Just about every place we were headed to was a 15 minute drive away. Overall, I'm very happy I chose the LaQuinta. It really made our trip a nice one.

This hotel was acceptable. The bathroom needed cleaning upon my arrival. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was not very nutricious but tasted good, the fruit and yoghurt selection was adequate when available but was not available for 7 of the 11 days I was there. Hotel was very accessable to the highway in and out of New Orleans (15-30 minutes). Staff was helpful when needed.

This hotel is about 10 miles from the French Quarters, and was a $20 taxi ride. We opted for a taxi instead of paying parking. The hotel seemed to be brand new, and was very clean and fresh smelling. It took me less than five minutes to check in and get my key. The only thing we had trouble with was getting the operator to answer when we called for a wake-up call. Would definitely recommend compare to other accommodations in the New Orleans area for the same money.

This hotel was a good value for the cost. No real complaints, an overall pleasant stay.

Staff very helpful and polite. Breakfast was good and prompt. Needs more premium channel choices. Very clean.

Remember you get what you pay for...Even though the hotel offers continential breakfast it was not worth the effort, they served spoiled milk, sour orange juice and tainted apple juice. They also had no microwave to heat the instant grits or oatmeal, why bother putting it out. The towels were stained and frankly I didn't feel the room was much cleaner either. I have reported my bad experience to their corporate office for review. It just doesn't make sense to run a business if you have no business skills.

The rooms were great and the breakfast was fabulous.

I was down for a conference and had taken a taxi to get there, and the driver had no idea where it was, and his disbatcher had a hard time finding it as well. The ammenties were awesome!! BUT the staff was noisey through the hallways and woke me up in the morning. I was also very turned off by the ants that i found all over the room. It needed a good cleaning. The breakfast wasn't bad though, and there were a lot of options! The bathroom was extremly clean! But due to the ants in the room, I still felt dirty. I woiuld go back because of the price i paid.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel during a weekend trip to New Orleans. The location was great as it was right off of Interstate 10. It was a decent value as well as they offered a pretty good continental breakfast with a large plasma TV in both the main area as well as the breakfast eating area. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a basic, clean, 3 star hotel.

Price was great. .. the condition of hotel was great. . . but the smell. . it was bad that turned horrible. I don't know what it was or where it ws coming from - but it progressively got so bad I attempted to sleep with my shirt over my nose. Beds were uncomfortable. .I could barely walk the next day from being sore and stiff.

Great hotel.

Very clean and convenient location, surrounding neighborhoods leave something to be desired.

my hotel visit was nice and i enjoyed my visit overall i would recommend this hotel to others it was worth the rate.

I was hesitant to book this particular because it only had 1 review. But I was quite pleased with my overall stay. Would definitely stay there again.

my husband and choose this hotel because of the price, thinking that you get what you pay for, but we were very surprised that the general outlook, and service far exceeded the low price. thank you

The room was comfortable and clean, the staff friendly. The internet in the lobby is very slow and their computer does not have updated software. It's a good idea not to count on using it for any important or rapid communication. The hotel is conveniently located if one needs to go to New Orleans east (University of New Orleans for example) or Slidell and NASA in Mississippi. It is not far from downtown, but it is directly on the main morning commute route going west on I-10 so give yourself plenty of time if going downtown in the morning or trying to get back to the hotel from downtown in the evening. The charge included an additional person charge that was not clearly advertised in the original rate, but the rate was still good for the location and room quality and included continental breakfast. It is located in a newly restored, once heavily hurricane damaged, area of town and there are few to no places to eat nearby.

The room was extremely clean and looked brand new. The only problems was it didn't look like it was quite finished. The faucet moved around, there were holes in the walls, there was no desk chair, and the outlets were hanging out by their wires.
