I was upgraded to a suite/handicapped room, which was at the end of the hall next to housekeeping, so it was very busy. The shower has no glass doors and the shower curtain does not go all the way down to the floor so the bathroom floods above me was either housekeeping or a very noisy room because you could hear the door squeak 24 seven and things being dropped on the floor, the carpets were dirty food on furniture smoke detector hanging off the wall and went down at 6 AM. They have no coffee no pool you have to slam the door because they don’t latch properly which is a safety concern if you’re staying here.

It was my first time staying at the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot and I was very impressed from the moment I walked in. Marvin at the front desk was personable, full of information, and made me feel welcomed. I received a text after checking in from Emma at the front desk who also provided great service. Ross and Roland who work at the front door helping with valet parking made me feel like a special guest. I am lifetime member at Marriott with high status; however, my experience at this IHG property was far superior than the half-hearted "welcome" I have been receiving at Marriott properties who usually do not even upgrade me which used to be surprising. Next time I am back in New Orleans, I will stay at this property. If you go, be sure to read the display near the elevators that explains how the hotel got its name. I had a clean, spacious room. Very nice interior design throughout the property.

I had a spacious room with good beds. I chose the hotel for the three restaurants under its roof as I was reovering from a procedure and cooldn't go far. Housekeeping didn't speak any English and needed prompting.

Absolutely an amazing check in experience: very welcoming valet and front desk staff. Our front desk receptionist was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. She was also informative and shared everything we needed to know about our room and perks included with out reservation. The room was very clean and spacious.

From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. I booked a vacation for my wife's birthday, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. The concierge upgraded us to a city-view room upon arrival and the bellhop/valet helped us with all of our bags. The front desk even brought us several miscellaneous items we forgot to pack. It was our first stay here, but it will definitely not be our last!!!

Parking is expensive but there is very little oversight so I doubt there are meter maids during this off peak time. Hotel was just ok looking and nothing like what Expedia showed.
