The Roosevelt New Orleans Gets Its First Reviews

Where: 123 Baronne Street [map], New Orleans, LA, United States, 07112

The Roosevelt New Orleans re-opened this month, with a brand new Waldorf-Astoria Collection flag, newly-renovated rooms, and a pretty hefty and impressive history — but is all the hype and hooplah worth it? How are guests feeling about the place?

Natch, we checked in on the property at TripAdvisor — and, sadly, there are only two reviews of the iconic hotel that have come in so far.

Still, reviews are...good, if not bland. As usual, there are some service glitches to work out. One guest who called the hotel "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful" also said this:

I waited an hour for breakfast and it was alright,waited a bit for valet parking to bring my car but there was a lot of construction in the area. Overall you will not be disappointed with this hotel-I would most certainly go back

Another guest added this (and, um, sic):

The shower was the best thing during my stay multple jets and sit down. The king bed very comfortable, very small rooms but in new orleans your not suppose to be in them..... the restaurants and bars service was excellent when you received it. I walked out once out of the bar after waiting 15 min for service and walked out at the restuartant once waiting on service after 10 mintues.... food is expensive but good.

Rates are still sitting under $200, and the famed Blue Room lounge should be open by the end of July.
