My stay at the Holiday Inn Express New Orleans - St Charles was a mixed experience. While the hotel's cleanliness and comfortable beds impressed me, the breakfast time of 7 AM felt too late for a business traveler like me.

I found my stay at Holiday Inn Express New Orleans - St Charles By IHG to be decent overall. The location is fantastic for exploring the WWII Museum and the surrounding areas. However, the breakfast experience was less than ideal, especially when the delivery for some items was missed and left the single server struggling. My room was quite compact, and while it was clean and comfortable, I felt it could use a bit of sprucing up.

Rooms

The room was small yet clean, with comfortable beds that allowed for restful nights. However, it had limited natural light due to a window overlooking a brick wall in the bathroom. It could benefit from a little maintenance touch-up in the hallways as well.
