Editorial Review for Hilton Riverside Hotel – by Gayot.com

The Scene
Space and location are this Hilton's greatest assets. Guests here will find two vast lobby levels leading to Kabby's restaurant, one of three dining venues in the hotel, as well as several bars. In addition to housing shops, the hotel offers a special entrance from the lobby to the Riverwalk Marketplace shopping mall. On one side of the hotel is the Ernest N. Memorial Convention Center. Harrah's Casino New Orleans is across the street.

The Details
The 1,616 very modern, upscale rooms are spacious and attractively decorated in earth tones. They have all the expected extras--minibars, two-line telephones with data ports, coffee makers and irons. Full-service here is the real deal with everything from indoor racquetball courts to on-call masseurs. Other facilities include a spa, a rooftop tennis court, a pool and a fully equipped business center.

The Extras

Sports buffs will dig the memorabilia in Kabby's, the hotel's sports bar. Roger Staubach, Bobby Orr and Peyton Manning have all contributed photos and autographed jerseys.

We just got back from Mardi Gras 2007. The hotel is in the DT disrict and is very close to all the Mardi action. They advertise that you can take the Riverfront train to the French Quarter in front of the hotel which is true..However, they forget to tell you that since Katrina..the train only comes ONCE an hour.Be ready to do Plenty of walking if you want to spend time in the Quarter. You can take cabs if your budgit will let you. The hotel is wonderful! The room was CLEAN.. CLEAN.. CLEAN..and we were treated so well by the staff from check in to check out. I would not use the mini bar or eat in the hotel since you are in New Orleans and good food is to be found on every block for 3 times less than what they charge. The rooms have great bathrooms,nice beds and free coffee and tea. BRING Bottled water...The water from the taps taste like BLEACH! This is a great hotel and I hope that you will visit NOLO soon. You will see some of the damage from Katrina at places like the Imax and the riverfront mall but, the city is still amazing and the people are really happy to have tourisit again. We had people thanking us for coming back every place we went.There are to great places to eat near the hotel..Mothers and Rosie's diner. You can walk to both. The Casino in right acrss the street..I found 4 five dollar bills over 3 days outside the casino so I was up with out spending any money.Don't forget about the buffet at the casino if your on a budget.. only $12.99 at lunch! GREAT DEAL! Bonus..We got in at 1:30 pm and they gave us a room and Mardi Gras beads! No smoking in the rooms... I will stay there again!

Pros: Great location ,Comfy beds

Cons: Long walk to the FQ
