“NOLA grandeur, restaurant letdown”

The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel is a stunning historic-luxury stay near the French Quarter — rustic, classy decor with Canal Street views, the iconic Sazerac Bar, clean well-equipped rooms, and standout staff named by guests: Joshua at the desk and B at the pool. One review turns hard on the restaurants, calling the food horrible and overcharged to the point of never returning — while another German note warns rooms carry sound poorly. Otherwise stays are called wonderful and guests plan to come back.
