Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Chalmette - New Orleans S By Ihg

Review by hotel critic

As a business traveler and an Australian who’s frequented my fair share of hotels, I recently found myself at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Chalmette, just outside of New Orleans, and it hit the mark for both comfort and productivity. From the moment I checked in, I appreciated the efficient service from the staff, who were all friendly and accommodating, even at our early 3 AM checkout. The rooms were impressively spacious and spotless, perfect for collaborating with colleagues. This hotel offers solid business amenities, with 1,000 square feet of conference space and a dedicated business center. I found the free Wi-Fi reliable, which is crucial for remote work. Vending machines stocked with snacks and drinks provided that much-needed boost between meetings. A noteworthy mention is the complimentary breakfast that featured a diverse selection of hot and cold items. I particularly enjoyed the 3-D printed pancakes—it's a fun twist that lightens the morning mood. Whether in town for a convention or a corporate retreat, this Holiday Inn makes for a practical choice for business travelers looking to balance work and comfort.
