Well being a New Orleans girl I rarely actually stay at this hotel. If I check into a hotel for the weekend at home 9 times out of 10 it is in the W-French Quarter.

Last weekend was Jazz Fest and we decided on a whim while drinking beers at Jaegers that we wanted to hit Harrah's for the night so we called up SPG at 6PM on a Friday night looking for any rooms in the city. Shockingly enough we were able to snag a room at the Sheraton (both W's were sold out) for my low corporate rate of $129.

We made it downtown about 8PM and the front desk staff was very apologetic about not being able to assign us a suite since they are pre assigned earlier in the day and our ressie wasn't made till a few hours beforehand. We were assigned a nice room on the club floor with a nice river view.

Breakfast in the club lounge on a Saturday morning was hopping, but they had plenty of food out for the large crowd. Many people were up and getting ready to go to the Jazz Fest.

The hotel is a big convention hotel and if the W Hotels aren't your cup of tea I wouldn't hesitate recommending this hotel. All the rooms were recently remodeled and had the sweet sleeper beds.

Edited to Add: It was a very productive weekend at the casinos for us. Not only did we cover our hotel bill for the night we also covered the rest of our vacation to Bali this summer
