We had a great one-night stay to ride the Polar Express (station about 1/2 mile away in walkable area). Hotel was clean and well maintained. Our son loved the shuffleboard table in the lobby. Our 1-bedroom suite was spacious in both rooms, and the sofa and sofa bed were brand new (I literally had to take the heavy plastic off the mattress to put on a fitted sheet for my son to sleep without crunching all night.) All bedding for sofa bed, including 2 pillows, was already in the room, which was very convenient. I requested 2 additional pillows, and housekeeping delivered promptly. Breakfast was a decent selection, well stocked and typical quality for an included breakfast. Valet parking is $50/night; however, we lucked out and found street parking adjacent to the hotel for free (1 night weekend stay). Staff was friendly and helpful when we asked questions. Pizza Luna right behind hotel was decent bar food for a quick bite. Highly recommend the Homewood Suites on Poydras. Would definitely stay again!
