The Marquee puts New Orleans sights within easy reach

Location and access

The Marquee earns a 4.5 rating from 916 Google reviews, with location emerging as its clearest strength. Guests describe the property as being in the heart of New Orleans, within walking distance of the French Quarter and close to public transportation. A bus stop or trolley stop is nearby, making the hotel practical for travellers who prefer not to drive.

Entertainment, restaurants and other city sights are also described as easy to reach on foot. Indoor, secluded parking receives specific praise, especially from guests using the property as a base before a cruise or for short city stays.

Rooms and shared spaces

The reviews point to spacious accommodation, particularly for larger groups. One guest stayed in a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath presidential suite with enough room for shared dinners on rainy evenings. That makes The Marquee a stronger fit for families, groups of friends and travellers who value living space over a compact city room.

The property is repeatedly described as clean, well maintained and welcoming. The rooftop pool is visually appealing, but one review reported debris and a large clump of hair in the water. That concern is specific, yet worth checking before making the pool central to the stay. Another guest found the shower head too low, a minor design issue that may affect taller travellers.

Service and overall stay

Staff feedback is notably positive. Guests describe the team as friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming, with reception handling check-in quickly and providing useful local information. Restaurant recommendations from staff were also appreciated.

The Marquee appears well suited to a two-night New Orleans visit, particularly when convenience matters. One review mentions construction inside the hotel during a stay, so guests may want to ask about current work before booking. The available feedback still frames the property as a good choice for a short stop, a pre-cruise night or a city break built around walking and public transport.

Editor’s take

The Marquee’s appeal is practical rather than complicated: a central New Orleans base, roomy accommodation, indoor parking and staff who help guests get oriented. The 4.5 rating from 916 reviews supports a strong overall impression. The rooftop pool needs closer attention, and construction may affect the atmosphere at times.

For guests prioritising access to the French Quarter and nearby entertainment, the location does much of the work. Larger groups should pay particular attention to the suite options. Couples seeking a quiet, pool-led retreat may want to confirm current pool conditions first.
