I've read several not so good threads regarding this hotel. Has anyone stayed there lately and taken advantage of this package?

Still waiting on any replies...
Thanks

I confess that I don't know a thing about this hotel, but the rest of the package doesn't look too thrilling. Cajun Cabin is very touristy, has some ok food, but more of a bar. I'm not much of a shopper, but would much rather shop in the shops in the Quarter than at the Mall. I also wasn't impressed with Harrah's. Beignets and cafe au lait don't cost very much. The carriage ride would be fun, but I don't think it's much more than $25.00. There are free walking tours of the Quarter. Court of Two Sisters is very touristy, doesn't have very good food. The river cruise would be fun, but I sure wouldn't go on one that serves a meal.

Unless you're going at the height of tourist season, I'd look further.

Thanks so much Jean. I'm going August 8-12;celebrating my 50th. Based on your comments, I think we could swing the package offers on our own. Do you have any hotel recommendations? We are open to b&b's also.

TIA.

I have stayed at this hotel and it was fine. Very convenient location and walkable everywhere without mobility limitations. Again the above poster is correct on the value of this package- Consider looking at the Good times guide for coupons too. http://www.neworleansonline.com/spec...ons/index.html
There are 2 for one on the boat tours, and the Riverwalk coupon booklet- which is essentially worthless compared to several years ago. Free walking tours via the park service http://www.nps.gov/jela/pphtml/activities.html Also superb cemetery tours with http://www.nps.gov/jela/pphtml/activities.html
