Our Hotel Planner Expert Reviews of Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel
Our expert hotel planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person. "Near Everything In New Orleans"
Overall Score3.5/ 5
The Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel is located steps from
Canal Street, the Aquarium, casino, and nightlife of Bourbon Street. You will be warmly greeted by the front desk staff upon entry. Parking is valet only. Rooms are basic, but clean and spacious by New Orleans standards. Guests at the Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel should start their day by taking advantage of the full hot complimentary breakfast, then venturing out to enjoy all the Big Easy has to offer. There are no resort style amenities such as swimming pool, gym or restaurant (if you came to NoLa to eat at the same place twice, you're missing out on half the adventure!) There is a banquet room available for meetings and hospitality. Overall, the Best Western Plus offers more relaxed, reasonably priced accommodations close to the hustle and bustle.

Verified Reviews of Best Western Plus St. Christopher Hotel
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Poor Customer Service."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
We called before arriving and the hotel receptionist told us to park behind the hotel and it would be 20 30 dollars to park and you'd follow the sign to make the parking payment. When we got to the desk, he asked us how we paid and we told him we did what he told us but it cost 60 dollars! When we asked for a refund, he said we should have come to the hotel and he could have done the payment, but yet he didn't tell us that over the phone. He told us he couldn't give us a refund of the difference at all. Our hotel room was also very poor. The toilet didn't work appropriately, as you had to hold the handle up for a few minutes to even get it to go down. We were moving, so we brought perishable items with us that were homemade jams and such so we placed them in the fridge. When we woke up the next day, the jams were completely hot as the fridge did not work! We asked the hotel receptionist what he could do about it and he told us nothing because we didn't call and complain the night we stayed. Would never stay here again. We also had a dog with us and I don't understand how it is a dog friendly hotel, with NO grass whatsoever. Never staying here again. Would like a call from a manager, but the hotel receptionist said they probably wouldn't call.
