Virgin Hotels New Orleans

The hotel is on the smaller side. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the French Quarter, which makes it relatively safe and quiet. The room decor is very charming and tasteful. There's also a communal lounge on the first floor with a great atmosphere. A grocery store is conveniently located a short walk from the entrance. New Orleans has a lot of hotels, but this one stands out.

After much deliberation, I chose this hotel, ranked number one on the New Orleans design charts! High expectations, very disappointing!!! 1. The hotel itself is relatively new, but the rooms were very dirty and old. (The toilet door was broken and couldn't be closed.) It looked drastically different from the online pictures. (See picture below.) Only the lobby was truly beautiful and photogenic, but when staying at a hotel, the room itself is more important, right? 2. The hotel had no cold/warm water, only scalding hot water! I scalded my skin while showering; it turned very red and blistered. Luckily, I had saline solution with me, which helped relieve the itching. Hotel staff admitted their water system had a problem, hence the lack of scalding hot water. Because most of the hotel's guests are older American men with relatively thick skin, the hotel hasn't taken this issue seriously. If you are a Chinese woman like me with thin skin, please choose this hotel very carefully, or contact the hotel beforehand to confirm if the water system has been repaired.

The hotel's location is excellent. The room was spotlessly clean, and the facilities were new and complete, with a quiet environment. The front desk service was thoughtful and attentive. It was super convenient to go out and explore local eateries. This is definitely my top choice for a trip.
