HILTON NEW ORLEANS / ST. CHARLES AVENUE ^{* * * *}

Was a very pleasant stay and offered Hilton reliability. Food was good and breakfast pleasing but staff could be more attentive, just left waiting!
Interesting that NO plug existed in room or an adapter available from reception to charge a phone.
How nice if you could get coffee other than filtered I.e. Latte.

We arrived after dark and were dropped off 2 blocks from the Hilton, and walked 4 blocks looking for the Hilton because of Madi Gra parades. We probably walked by the Hilton 2x because the sign was obscured by the Hilton's grand stand. Once we arrived, parade attendies were walking in & out w/out being questioned, BUT we were asked to wear 'security' bracelets. The 2 clerks were on the phone 'disregarding' guests check-ing in. Once off the phone, the1st clerk was distainful and unwelcoming, and the 2nd clerk never got off the phone. We bussed our own luggage to our room n left for dinner. Arriving at the Hilton that 1st evening the 'Hilton' @ St Charles is was only a Hilton in name only. HOWEVER, the clerk checking us out was cordial and welcoming. The rooms were clean and appointed appropriately, BUT none of charging points worked and we had to plug our chargers in, in the bathroom.
