Hodges Gardens State Park Tours and Activities

We stayed at The Barnett this past weekend for our Anniversary staycation also during Essence Fest weekend in the city. We chose this hotel as it is within walking distance to Bearcat, Rouses, CVS and the Superdome. The bellman greeted us and assisted with getting our luggage out of the car, and called for the valet to park our car. There is a parking lot directly across the street from the hotel, but we used the hotel valet ($50 per day). The front desk associate was friendly, checked us in quickly and we were in the room within 10 minutes of arriving. We reserved a room with a private balcony, but were placed in a room with the shared balcony. Although there were blinds I was not a fan of just anyone walking past our room. The room was spacious and decorated in a cute retro vibe. The walls are thin. You will hear your neighbors and will definitely hear any music playing. The pool is a vibe! Relaxing lounge chairs with shade and mist fans. The pool cook, Bliss, made delicious wings. We will be back for a pool day soon! There were a few cons: We could not find the ice machine on our floor The phone did not work in our room Low water pressure in the sink

Outstanding property. Looking forward to staying there again

Restraraunts did not open until 4pm. Breakfast was terrible and pricey. The small store was also very pricey and not a lot of choice. $8 for a coke and bag of chips?
