very good location

Pretty good location on Canal Street. Walking distance to see anything you want in the French Quarter and the business district. 2 blocks from the Quarter and always felt safe walking there, even after midnight. Starbucks in the lobby is a nice convenience too.

CON: $33 per night for parking.

Fantastic Location!

We came to New Orleans and stayed at the Sheraton on Canal Street for a conference. The service was great, and the facilities more than accommodating for our group. There was even another conference being held at the same time, but on a different level of the hotel, and it never seemed to be over-crowded and was easy to navigate.

The lobby and Pelican Bar were beautiful. We did not dine at the hotel bistro, but made regular stops at the Starbucks Coffee in the lobby.

We did not use the fitness center, which costs a fee of $10 for non-club level guests. The pool area however, was relatively nice.

Unique Quality: The hotel was one of the largest buildings in the area, offering great views of the Mississippi River, French Quarter, and surrounding areas.

Fantastic location, within walking distance to almost everything: The French Quarter, Aquarium of the Americas, Harrah's Casino, Riverwalk Mall, Bourbon Street, the Mississippi River/Woldenberg Park, and numerous other shops and restaurants.

canal street

the sheraton is a very good buiness class hotel on canal street. for the tourist it is located just across the street from the french quarter and for the business traveler it is located in the heart of the commercial district. the sheraton offers all the amenities that you would expect from this better chain.

Great NO Hotel

I actually stayed here two nights, and then 3rd night in the Marriott, less than a block away on Canal. There was a major difference - it could not compare to the sheraton. The Pelican Bar was very cool at the Sheraton and we had a fantastic view of the river. The room was large and had a very nice sized bathroom too. Beds were comfy. Nice in room amenities on the club level.

Unique Quality: Starbucks Coffee Shop inside the hotel was another bonus!

Near Harrah's

I have not stayed here but it is a four diamond AAA approved hotel.

This hotel is quite close to the waterfront, across Canal Street from the French Quarter. Apparently the location is the best thing about it because it is noisy and the food is expensive.

Nice Hotel ....BUT

Very nice hotel, great location, excellent dinning and bar.

Now for the BUT...

There is not much in the way of soundproofing as we could easily hear anyone in the hallways screeming at 3:00 AM when they came back loaded from Burbon Street.

There is an additional $10.00 per person per day charge for the fitness area and pool, unless you're on the CLUB level.

Be wary of using the phone the charges are out of this world. it costs $2.00 to connect to a 1-888 number.

Unique Quality: We had a great view of the Mississippi.

The best hotel fitness center

This hotel has the best fitness center(open 24 hrs), but they do make you pay for it. I think it was $10 or $15 per day, or you can get a membership. With our corporate discount, we got it for $110 per night. Price is $169 on their website http://www.starwood.com .

Downside to this hotel is that they do not offer high-speed Internet in the hotel rooms. They do have a Business Center, but it is teeny tiny.

SHERATON
This is a lodging...

SHERATON
This is a lodging UN-recommendation...
We had a HORRIBLE time at the Sheraton on Canal Street (am I allowed to say that?)...they sent nine of us up into a single room to wait for the other rooms to be made up...we were there for 2 and a half hours! Everything was like that at the Sheraton. Even the valet parking was like that. ('We don't answer the phone when it's busy,' they told us.)
$80 through priceline.com
$179 if you walked in that day

Unique Quality: Beautiful bar though in the lobby....

Great central location - across the street from the French Quarter; not too close to the wildness! Extrelmely short walk to all 3 streetcar lines (St. Charles, Canal, Riverfront); no rental car required (unless you want to see the plantations). Some noise, but not out of the ordinary.

Great location, lovely hotel

by TripAdvisor Member Canuck123

We recently returned from a holiday at the Sheraton New Orleans. The hotel is quite stunning from the lobby - the rooms were quite large and the view of the Mississippi at night is amazing.

Overall the stay was great, staff was pleasant and willing to help in any circumstance.

The only complaint is that the Starbucks in the lobby does not have posted hours and closes when they are not busy. We wanted to have a specialty coffee at night and were not able to on any of the nights as they closed between 12:30 - 2:00PM each day.

Nice Hotel, But Very Noisy at Night!

by TripAdvisor Member debkay68

Stayed at the Sheraton New Orleans for 3 nights during a business conference. Arrived around 3:30 p.m. and the check-in was very fast. Front desk personnel was very courteous. Received the room that I reserved a couple of months before: king bed, river view, high floor. The river view from the 41st floor is breathtaking! Room was comfortable, although a bit on the dark side. Bathroom was small, and also not well lighted. Ice machine on the 41st floor was broken so you had to go down the next floor to fill your ice bucket. Beds were extremely comfortable. Two problems I ran into were: 1) the noise from the hallway and the room next to mine were extremely annoying. All three nights that I was there, I was kept awake by the people in the next room. The 2nd and 3rd night I had to call security twice each night to report the noise problem. I guess when you're only a couple of blocks from Bourbon Street, some guests come back drunk and don't really care who they bother with their yelling and cursing. 2) Hotel charged me for three drinks out of the mini-bar that I did not consume. When I complained, they promptly removed the charges. When I checked out, the lady at the front desk asked me about my stay. I told her about having to call security about the noise and she gave me 2 complimentary breakfasts in the Roux Bistro, which was nice.

All in all, I did not have ANY problem with staff. Everyone from the valets to the front desk to the housekeepers were extremely friendly and warm.

Botton line-if you are from the city and are used to sleeping with noise (I'm used to the country where it is quiet at night) then this is a fine hotel. If noise is an issue, I would hunt accomodations elsewhere (although in New Orleans that may be a bit difficult).
