Four Points By Sheraton French Quarter

Four Points By Sheraton French Quarter

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at this hotel several times. Of course, you have to expect a certain amount of noise but I was there on weekdays so it wasnt bad. The main thing I would like to mention in this review is the staff. They are so nice and helpful in every way. Id like to compliment Shannon specifically. I lost my cellphone on my first day there (eventually found it in a friend’s car) and didnt know anyone’s phone number so I was freaking out to say the least. Shannon was so kind which helped me remain calm and I am so grateful to her! ❤️"
