Westin is great. That’s my fave place to eat breakfast. Awesome view of the MS River

like

Sheraton. Great food in the lounge. Rooftop pool. Opposite to Westin.

Anything but the W. That place is weird and small. We liked the Le Meridian

I'll second the Sheraton, easily the nicest. Four Points French Quarter is surprisingly nice and would be a tie for second with the Westin.

Transfer the points to marriott and choose the marriott. Really good property, close to French Quarter, river, casino

C1 - Sheraton is every bit as nice as the Marriott and is literally across the street.

Apparently the ALOFT is amazing. Go figure.

DD1 - Aloft is new and relatively nice, location is not near the casino though

Oh. Thanks M1. I just heard good things about it. Didn't know how far it was from the casino.
