What guests think

At Drury Plaza Hotel New Orleans, guests consistently praise the welcoming staff, walkable location near the French Quarter and Superdome, and the strong value from complimentary breakfast plus evening Kickback drinks and hot food.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though decor can feel dated and a few guests mention small or dark layouts, thin walls, or noise near the pool or street. Cleanliness earns frequent compliments, with occasional issues like stained carpets or linens, lingering smells, or housekeeping misses; maintenance and renovation work are noted but problems are usually resolved quickly. Facilities such as the rooftop pool, hot tub, fitness room, and secure paid parking are appreciated, though parking fees apply and the hot tub can get busy. Expect a friendly, good value stay close to the action without being in the middle of it.

This hotel is fantastic. We stayed in a two-room suite which was extremely comfortable. Staff was incredible. Complimentary breakfast and happy hour drinks and food were a huge bonus! Pool and hot tub were enjoyable. Only critique is that there's not enough shade/sun cover options in the area. Hotel is under renovation but was pretty much hidden to guests. Plan on going back here next year to see the updates! Hotel is within walking distance to all the hot spots.

Great stay! Internet access, continental breakfast, light dinner option, and bar with meals till midnight. Close to French quarter and the port. Great location and quiet to help with sleep. But close to all the action and food you could want. Pool did not disappoint either.

Hotel and rooms are clean, well maintained, the staff is gracious, and the breakfast buffet never disappoints. This morning the kitchen and dining room staff were particularly impressive. Unfortunately an inconsiderate smoker lit up in a hotel room, causing a jarring wake up to a fire alarm. Shortly , before we could even get to the stairs, the alarm was canceled. So instead of a 7-10AM spread-out breakfast period, the alarm caused many dozens of guests to go to breakfast simultaneously. The staff was on top of everything, refilling food and condiments, kept everything flowing. They cleared and wiped down tables to accommodate other diners. Lenitra was very kind and friendly and came to check to see if I needed anything. Guest parking with a self parking was great, easy, attached garage convenient to the hotel elevators and saved on valet tips.

The breakfast and kickback cocktails, and dinner that were all complementary were awesome. Security was top notch. Having to use your room key to access the elevator seemed a little. Unnecessary but understand completely how safe it made us feel.

I really like the location, cleanliness of the hotel and rooms, how pleasant the hotel staff is and the dining perks. However, I do think that a makeover should be in the works sooner rather than later as a lot of the rooms are starting to look dated and worn. Our room was huge but the furniture and carpet was old which took away from the beauty of the room.

My only issue was there is no way to lock the bathroom doors. If you are in there doing your business, anyone in the room can walk in. I wonder who came up with that idea. Even husband and wife need privacy sometimes.

This hotel is where I would stay again. Close enough to walk everywhere but far enough for quiet evenings. The hotel was clean and very nice and safe. We enjoyed with my teenage boys the evening dinner and that was great. Breakfast was good but we did not get up early enough to enjoy it as much. The room was a great size and the bed was comfortable for everyone. Even the fold out couch.

The property is totally fine and staff are great. The rooms are "boring" in that NOLA has much art, character, architecture and the actual rooms of this hotel were very plain. Only one window without a view...it felt like the Dreary hotel instead of the Drury while you were in your room. Otherwise, super terrific in every other way. Pool and gym were great. Staff, breakfast and cleanliness, top notch.

Great hotel a short walk from the french quarter. Great rooms, very large, nice bathrooms. Sink drain was slow and the walls transmitted a LOT of noise. We could hear our neighbors on both sides and people in the hallway as well. I cant imagine how loud the hotel is during Mardi Gras. Breakfast everyday was great, and so was the food we got from the lobby Kitchen+Bar. Beautiful hotel. Parking was $35 per night.

We chose this hotel because of the location to our conference and the convenience to all the shopping. We literally parked our car in the garage and walked everywhere. The room was clean, bed super comfy, and plenty of outlets for the electronics. My favorite part was honestly the staff. Everytime i walked in, I was greated professionally and as i left i was encouraged to have the best day i could. Every staff member cared about the patrons and you could feel the difference between their hospitality and other places i have stayed. I was not happy about the semi cold morning showers however it was during the 6 oclock hour which seemed to be everyones wake up time. But later the showers were a great temperature. We were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful breakfast options and evening cocktails and dinner complimentary to their guests. This was huge! It was so nice to sit and have a cocktail and little snack after walking all day. Twice we made it our dinner and was very satisfied. The pool and hot tub were a nice spot to relax in the evening after grabbing drinks. I will definitely be back here. It was warm, inviting and felt like home away from home.

We booked this property to visit the World War II museum. Only a 15 minute walk from Drury Plaza to the museum. If you are also interested in Bourbon Street, the street Drury is on turns into Bourbon street just a few blocks eastward. I am glad we booked this property among all the others around. We were treated well by the staff, they allowed us to park earlier than our check in time and exit later than checkout the next day. The hotel offers self parking on the property. The parking was garage parking and felt completely safe, and the cost of parking was much less than most hotels in the area. In fact the whole property was accessed by your room key, which is a bit inconvenient at times, but very safe.A light dinner and drinks are provided for guests. The breakfast was a large buffet and tasted great, definitely better than most hotel breakfasts.We could not have been happier with this hotel choice, highly recommended.

We liked the hotel, location, comfort, and service. We pick Drury for these reasons and appreciate the evening snack and breakfast offering. We were, however, disappointed in the NOLA offerings. The nacho cheese for evening chips and the morning gravy were both watery. The food and evening drinks disappointed. We will stay there again when we return to NOLA, but hope that management checks the quality of servings. If that improves, I’d give Drury an excellent rating.

We recently stayed at the Drury Inn in New Orleans and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The hotel checks all the boxes you’d expect—clean and comfortable rooms, a great location close to everything, and a hot breakfast that starts your day off right. But what really made this stay stand out was the “5:30 Kickback” evening event. Every night, guests are treated to free cocktails and a rotating selection of hot food—and we’re not talking just snacks. We’re talking real, satisfying meals that made it easy to relax at the hotel after a long day of exploring the city. The atmosphere was lively and friendly, making it a great way to meet fellow travelers or just wind down with your group. The staff throughout the hotel were equally impressive—consistently warm, helpful, and attentive. It’s clear that guest comfort is a top priority here. All in all, the Drury Inn made our New Orleans visit even more enjoyable, and the evening “meet-up” experience was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!
