“Nice hotel”

Wyndham Riverfront

Jul 6, 2008

This is a beautiful, classy hotel with polite staff and clean, upscale rooms. It is very convenient to Harrah's and the Convention Center, but it is a little walk to the French Quarter. If you don't like to walk, take a cab to the Quarter. Despite its name, it does not have a great view of the river, and not much is happening at the Riverwalk mall anyway since Katrina. I was a little concerned about the safety of walking from the Quarter to the hotel at night (I'm a former N.O. resident and am very familiar with downtown) but it was fine. Just walk from the Quarter to Harrah's, then to the Harrah's parking lot, then to the hotel in the next block. Hotel parking was $32 a night, so we played for 30 minutes at Harrah's and got 24 hours of parking for free.

“Conference/Vacation stay”

Wyndham Riverfront

Jul 5, 2008

We were in New Orleans for a conference and some vacation time. We stayed at the Wyndham for 7 nights. There were 3 of us and each one had a different type of room. It was a wonderful stay. I had a historical king. Great room-large enough but very cozy. The bed was prefect and the towels were big and fluffy. The room furniture was in good shape-well appointed. My request for a refrig was granted due to medical needs-no charge (would have cost $15.00 a day if not for medical). The air system worked great-it was in the upper 90's some days. One of the other guests had a corner king (huge room) and the other had a double queen, also a huge room.

The staff was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about the housekeeping gal-she was great-all requests were met. After a couple of days it really felt like home. The desk staff and the bell staff were great also. I would not think twice about staying there again!

The hotel is 1 block from the convention center, 2 blocks from Harahs, 1 block to the trolley stop at Riverwalk, and only a short walk into the French Quarter. It felt safe most of the time but there are still a lot of buildings that are not open when you walk away from the major areas.

“Great stay”

Wyndham Riverfront

May 7, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Wyndham Riverfront for 6 nights in March 2008. It was convenient to the convention centre where I attended a conference. After 36 hours of travelling from Australia, check in was quick and easy! Our room was spacious and the bed large and comfortable. The bathroom was small but fully stocked of towels and toiletries.
The Wyndham is about 15 min walk to the French Quarter but there are well lit streets to walk along or there is a tram stop near the casino. It would have been convenient to have a bar fridge in the room however there are ice machines on every floor.
All the staff we had dealings with were all polite and helpful.

“Good stay in April”

Wyndham Riverfront

4 of 5 stars

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Wyndham Riverfront for the Saturday night of French Quarter Fest. The hotel and our room were clean and very comfortable. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. It was altogether a good experience and I would certainly stay there again. The only things keeping me from giving this hotel a 5-star rating were: Rough and thin towels; a charge for local calls; charge for internet access; and limited television stations. We typically stay in mid-range hotels that almost always provide better towels, free local calls and internet, and better TV coverage.

“Nice hotel a bit far from main tourist attaractions”

Wyndham Riverfront

4 of 5 stars
Chicago Suburbs
Mar 28, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

Just spend four nights at this property. This is my fourth time in New Orleans and first time post-Katrina and with family. We booked by calling the property directly as we needed two rooms and they were running a second room 1/2 off special.
The rooms were nicely decorated. The beds had nice and confomfortable linens. The bathrooms are small at this property. The concierge was very nice and friendly. The only thing I think may need improvement is to have the water and coffee supplies replenished each night by housekeeping. However, be aware that parking is 28 per day, plus tax. We spent most of our time walking to the French Quarter for meals, sightseeing, and shopping. However, there is a nice Cajun restaurant and brewery in walking distance.
Overall, very nice property. However, I would not stay here again with children. The crime rate in New Orleans is high and I would eliminate walking long distances after dark with shopping bags and kids (obvious tourists)! I do think that common sense prevails, stay in well lit areas and never talk to strangers. I did see the scam ltaking place around the Natchez that is listed in posts here regarding, "Where are you shoes?" The scam artists actually said they were part of the Natches (riverboat) crew but they obviously were not. Be careful of stuff like that and you will be fine.
