Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by discussed Terrible experience
the dining room bar service was poor, but the table service was fine. Your hostess seated two individuals two tables from us who were listening to our conversation concerning the poor service when one of the individuals told us that we were old and that was the reason for our complaint. Only the individual sitting with him intervened. We are getting older: I am 73 and my wife 72, Both of these men appeared to be employees of the company working on the building. I now know how discrimination feels.
By the way, we asked for a take out box and left the dining room
The food was bad
We are planning to cash in our Priority Club points and never again visit a Holiday in or Intercontinetal hotel.

Hotel is obviously older but the rooms are clean and comfortable - especially the bed and pillows - very comfortable. The staff was excellent, they delivered a microwave to our room late one night upon request so that we could heat our leftovers; and they were happy to call a cab for us almost everyday we were there. The restaurant service was poor and the food was only fair, but everything else was great.

Check in was not until 3:00pm we got there 3 hours early. Staff at front desk was excellent and were able to give us a early check in on the 9th floor as requested. When got to room, there was message welcoming us and said if neeed anything don't hesitate. The next day, I went down stairs to see if I could get a dessert warmed in a microwave since our room did not have one, There were two gentlemen in the lobby with badges, and I asked them where was the nearest microwave. One of the gentlemen took my dessert and was going to get it warmed in the hotel resturant, and the other one told him to wait a minute. This gentleman asked did i want a microwave in my room, and I said yes and was very appreciative. He said one would be sent up to my room. Withhin a 20 min span, there was someone knocking at the door with a microwave. To me that is exceptional service if I must say so. From reading some of the reviews, I did not know what to expect when we got there, but I must say this is one of the best hotels we have stayed in as far as comfort, and convenience. The bed was exceptional, and clean. Room was very clean and toliets also. On our last day there, we did not leave the room until about 3:00 and asked that i room be cleaned then. When we arrived back later that evening, room was very clean and maintained. I will keep this hoteal in my radar, because i will be coming to New Orleans often in the coming months and there is no better service to be offered. All of the maintenance people and maids were very helpful and cordial to us whenever we were in there presence. Great Stay.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Trapper22 Rude Check in
I arrived and was not treated as a Platinum customer, instead I had to wait while the person at the desk, chatted on the phone with what was a personal call, then she was rude.
I went to the bar/grill for dinner, the waitress would not come to my table to take my order, I had to go to the bar to get a menu and order. Then the waitress brought me the wrong bill.

Expereince was less than good or excellent for following reasons:
Did not get requested upgrade. I'm a platinium Holiday Inn member and expected more.
Room size was small.
The beds in room were smaller than stated queen sized, maybe large twins .

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by notinterested nothappy
stayed two nights, the hotel has 3 elevators which are the slowest elevators in the state, primary reason elevators are so slow is that the service people use them to get from floor to floor, instead of the hotel having a service elevator. These elevators are also quite tiny and when you stick a maid and huge roll around basket full pf dirty sheets and laundry, well wait for the next one to come. Then you have to shove 7-8 people in that one or you can spend your whole vacation in the lobby. Twice thats right twice I had the maids walk into my room without annoucing or knocking. I would assume HI says that is my fault for not using the bolt lock. The walls are very thin so if you enjoy listening to your neigbors conversation then this is your hotel. It is always nice to listen to people stomp across the ceiling, which they more then likely are not stomping just walking but there is no noise buffer. Oh and make sure you are the first one to check in or otherwise you are not getting a parking spot. Front or back.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Nana1224 Needs a Makeover
This hotel, or at least the room we had on the 7th floor, is in sad need of upkeep. The carpet is quite stained and shabby. The bathroom grout is in need of a good scrubbing. When trying to use a kleenex from the bathroom, a whole wad came out - they had been pushed back into the box, apparently. For the cost, you will not have a fridge; very little bathroom counter space; lots of night-time light from somewhere - the smoke alarm and doorway maybe; and, a hard well-used bed with almost useless pillows. The staff were helpful and cheerful upon checkin, which was our only encounter. They recommended a place for dinner and even googled and printed out a map to the restaurant, which ended up being quite good.

Everything was exactly as advertised. Good value. The shuttle driver John was the best and most organized shuttle driver I have ever seen. He went out of his way to make sure the passengers using the service were picked up.

My overall experience at this hotel was good. For some reason housekeeping skipped my room one day, but that wasnt a big deal to me. I called and they brought some fresh towels. The room was small, but clean and comfortable.
I have to go back to Louisiana in April and I will likely stay again.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by pearella Pretty standard Holiday Inn.
No issues, everything as expected. Some noise at night but nothing more than the average hotel. I thought the breakfast buffet was squashed into an area which was too small, which meant it was congested and staff struggled to get to it easily to re-stock items. It was useful to have the laundry facilities since our toddler was ill whilst we there there...

My Wife and I were stranded at New Orleans airport and decided to get a room and wait out the bad weather. When the staff heard we were "distressed passengers" we were taken care of beyond any of our expectations. From the shuttle drivers to the restaurant staff, everyone was exeptionally kind and helpful. Oh, the rooms were comfortable too!
Thank you to the staff at Metairie Holiday Inn

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by medicalexaminer Exellent Hotel to stay in.
Recently I had to visit the New Orleans area for a medical appointment. I made a reservation at this hotel because I had stayed there on previous visits. Once again I found the property to be well manicured, and taken care of on the outside. I was greeted promptly when I went in to register. The front desk staff was very courteous on each occassion I met with them. The room was clean, and the bed comfortable. I had to extend my stay by one day - no problem! They took care of it right away.
Unfortunately for me, I have to come back to New Orleans for more tests and treatment. But I know where I will be sleeping!!! A fantastic Hotel.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by MotherofGroom Just perfect for my needs
I needed a hotel for one night during a business trip. The hotel is very clean, the beds are comfortable and it is not too far from the airport. There is a restaurant/bar in the lobby. I had the breakfast buffet and it was just right.
The staff was super friendly.
The Hotel is about a mile maybe two from the highway, but once inside, in the driveway, you couldn't really tell. Traffic to the airport at 8am was not bad at all, it took about 10 minutes to get from the hotel to the airport.
Next time I go to New Orleans for business I'm staying at the HI Metairie.

Very disappointed in our stay here and to top it off....was told that my credit card would be charged whether I stayed the night or not. So......what do you do .........put up with the filth and move on and let others know about my experience. Filthy bathroom, no coffee cups in room, restaurant not open at 6am.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by prdm100480 Great hotel !!
Everything was great, looked like recently renovated, very clean. One negative,.... this hotel is at least 20-25 minutes from the airport !! I was informed the morning I had to go to the airport that the shuttle only runs every hour on the hour, a slight detail the front desk neglected to tell me when I asked the day before,... It resulted in me having to take a cab, cab ride $ 30 ( incl. tip ), to the airport at 5:30 am !!

Was disappointed. When we first got there the lady at the desk was very nice, Rashida was her name. Gave us discounts to help us out. Thats where it ends. We could not find a parking place. We had to park illegally. There were 2 vehicles in the parking lot that intentionally took up 2 parking spaces...Something needs to be done about that. The room was hot. I could never get the therm to stay down. it was stuck on 72. it was after midnight so I did not complain. NO continental breakfast? When you pay over $100 for a hotel you would think they would provide free breakfast. The only free thing was the coffee in front of the elevators and BOTH of them were empty! Yet again I did not complain because we were on our way out. The Hairdryer in the room didnt work. Had to call for another one. Thank God they had one. Maybe its because the hotel is close to New Orleans...I dont know. We will not be staying here again

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Rj15 Comfortable and quiet room
Overall good hotel. Room service was fast and the food was excellent. Room was comfortable and quiet. The heating system worked well. Has a good exercise room however both treadmills were not operable. The check in was slower than most Holiday Inns due to only one person who was having to answer the phone and check in at the same time. Normally the process of check in also goes faster when they have everything set up as I am a priority club member. This was not the case. Also, the paperwork stated I was a Gold member, when actually I am a Platinum member. The associate did check and said it was wrong on the paperwork.

Upon arriving found that our quoted price on lodging and transportaion to Cruise Line was different than the hotels. It took a bit of time and a couple people to remedy the situation, but it was resolved to my satisfaction. (Recommed bringing printed confirmation info not just the Confirmation number.)Food was excellent, accomodations were excellent and the transportaion to and from Cruise Port was excellent. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Excellent short stay on my road trip from San Antonio to Stockbridge. Arrived late and left early. The front desk clerk provided excellent service and check in and check out. She gave instructions on what to do, where to eat, and other procedures that made my check-in a great experience. She was also just as pleasant at check-out.
