We had loved everything about this hotel, and were all set to become Virgin loyalists.

We had loved everything about this hotel, and were all set to become Virgin loyalists. We prepaid for our stay last June via American Express Fine Hotels Program, which also allows for a free upgrade when available. Upon arrival, we were given the free upgrade to a fabulous suite. Terrific! However, after discharge, we were charged for this "free upgrade" a whooping $1200. Mistakes happen, and I get that. But at least 7 calls were made to the hotel. Twice we were told the manager would call us back, but never did. We have had to resort to disputing the charge via credit card. We are so disappointed, because we loved our stay at this gorgeous hotel. The food was great; the staff was awesome. But, buyer beware. Read less

I cannot say enough about Ryan at the front desk. I was in NYC and needed a favor for a dear friend having a hard time. He went above and beyond to make it happen. This is the only review I have ever left if that tells you anything. He's incredible!!

Brazil here! I’ve stayed in so many different hotels in NOLA (one of my favorite cities in the world), and honestly, this hotel is the best, in my opinion!

I was OVERCHARGED for my stay which is unacceptable. Please be advised that additional charges were made AFTER checkout with no permission. I spent 30 minutes on hold trying get a hold of a manager to resolve the issue, and was simply told to call my bank, with little effort from the hotel staff to take responsibility or help fix the problem.

I was OVERCHARGED for my stay which is unacceptable. Please be advised that additional charges were made AFTER checkout with no permission. I spent 30 minutes on hold trying get a hold of a manager to resolve the issue, and was simply told to call my bank, with little effort from the hotel staff to take responsibility or help fix the problem. All they had to do was split the payment on two cards initially.. which they failed to do. A week later, I see multiple pending charges.. why are my debit cards/ finances still accessible AFTER checkout? On top of that, the rooftop amenity was not available to all guests, despite being advertised otherwise. To make matters worse, the security guard, Bob, was incredibly rude and unprofessional, making the experience even more unpleasant. The final straw was unauthorized charges on my debit card, which left me feeling scammed and frustrated. This hotel clearly lacks accountability and decent customer service. I highly recommend avoiding this place at all costs. It’s a huge hassle! I was told to call the bank, when the discrepancy is for the hotel to correct! Read less
