Nothing special. The Hilton New Orleans Riverside is a basic hotel masquerading as a luxury hotel. Facade with little substance. Much too expensive for what they offer. I was met with a $44 per night charge for parking in a large parking garage adjacent to the hotel. From there, long lines to check in, long lines for breakfast, coffee, lunch, everything. After dark, you are very limited for dinner, and you are in the bowels of New Orleans, so afraid to leave your hotel room. Really. In addition to that, the staff was not very helpful, especially at check-in. They did not understand that my wife and I have different last names, and that took about 30 minutes, 3 clerks, and a manager to sort out. I've stayed in 2-star hotels that were more comfortable, better staffed, and much less expensive. I won't be back to the New Orleans Riverside Hilton.
