Cons: Rooms could be a bit bigger.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans’ French Quarter from February 9-12, 2005 while I attended a conference and he enjoyed a short vacation. This was our first visit to Louisiana and although our choice of ...

Pros: Location, Price, Large Room, Several Amenities
Cons: Parking, lighting in the room

Over my ten years of visiting the Big Easy, I have stayed at several hotels and believe myself to be a pretty good judge of staying in the great city of New Orleans. I understand the parking situations (a lot of times your car is parked way away from the ...

Pros: Elegant, inexpensive, great service, best location
Cons: Room was too hot at night; valet parking seems expensive

I recently stayed at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel in New Orleans with three of my friends for the weekend. We found the hotel online and were impressed by the combination of location, price, and apparently quality. I had found a promotional ...

Pros: Location (corner of Bourbon and Canal), Price, Beautiful Bar and Restaurant, Friendly and Helpful Staff
Cons: NONE!!!

I had the pleasure of staying at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans in August 2005. I was traveling alone, but joining a large group of friends and family for a convention. Thanks to many of my friends staying at various Hotels throughout the French ...

Pros: Nice rooms and stately decor.
Cons: Parking, staff, room views.

Pros: Great location, right at the edge of the French Quarter.

Hotel has great location. It is next to the French Quarter, so it's close to all the eating places ...

Pros: Great location (Bourbon & Canal); Recent remodel; Helpful staff
Cons: Overpriced bar & restaurant

The Crowne Plaza Astor is the fifth New Orleans hotel we've stayed in, and in almost all respects it was the most satisfactory. The hotel is a recent renovation, using the old shell of a 14-story building, but with new rooms, furniture, etc. Good quality...

Pros: location
Cons: horrid customer service misleading description of services

I'd stayed at this hotel twice before Katrina and had generally had a good experience (good location, clean, decent service). When I returned this past weekend for a conference, I was horribly disappointed. Although the hotel advertises internet access ...

Pros: Great location on Canal St. and Bourbon.  Brennan's Restraunt, Bourbon House, in the lobby. 
Cons: Parking was a pain.  Other then that everything was good.

We stayed at the Astor and had a good stay, but parking was expensive, $30 a night,  However, the last two days we parked at a gargage on Iberville right behind the Astor.  The garage only charges $15 a night and it is a valet garage operated 24/7.

They told us they had a coupon for the deal on their website, so we thought we would let you all know.

They even give in and out priveleges, so taking trips during the day does not increase the fee.
