Kitty34 Posted December 7, 2004 #26 Share Posted December 7, 2004 [quote name='Dirtyoldad']Hi All, Has anyone stayed at the Drury Inn Hotel?? Comments?? Thanx[/QUOTE] I went to their website and decided to stay there this coming April, the night before we leave on our cruise. I like the fact that it has a free breakfast and snack for the evening. My teenagers will like the pool on the roof. We got a suite for $109 which I didn't think was too bad.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_barbara Posted December 23, 2004 #27 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I just called the Riverside Hiltons direct number to ask for any cruise specials for 2005. We are sailing May 15th on the Conquest. I was told the only 99.00 special was for Sunday nights. We will be there on Friday and Saturday and it would be $359.00 for I think both nights. Some special LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunvalley cruisers Posted December 23, 2004 #28 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Does anyone have any suggestions for a two night stay in NO? I'm looking for something charming not the cookie cutter hilton/doubletree thing. We are also not big drinkers/partiers. Would love to have some ideas. We are on the 4/3 Conquest. Thanks!

They could just limit the number of specials they will give for certain days - not just eliminate one of the busiest nights. I guess I will be looking elsewhere for my lodging.

Emerald31 Posted December 24, 2004 #30 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Has anyone ever stayed at the Omni Royal Crescent? Received this hotel along with the Le Pavillon on Priceline for a good price for our October 2005 cruise. Went to Tripadvisor.com and Le Pavillon received great reviews, however the last few reviews on the Omni Royal Crescent wasn't so good and I am now getting concerned.

jnc411 Posted December 25, 2004 #31 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Hi, if you aren't into the partying then don't book a hotel in the French Quarter. Fun to visit but I wouldn't stay there. I would suggest the Garden District. They have some nice places there that aren't as you put it "cookie cutter". We stayed at the Maison St Charles, however I wouldn't recommend it, the building we stayed in was quite old and in need of repair. But in touring around we saw a lot of nice hotels very quiant looking. Check out hotels.com or expedia they give good discriptions then you can either book direct with hotel or any online agency. Good Luck. Cori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunvalley cruisers Posted December 27, 2004 #32 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Cori, thanks for the Garden District idea. I'll look around for something there. I'd love to find something with a four poster bed and great ambiance. This will be our first trip to New Orleans. We will be flying in around midnight late Friday. We'll have to cram as much as we can in on Saturday since the ship leaves Sunday. Whirlwind tour of NO....any suggestions? We're into historical stuff and I also love shopping. I'd also like to put a voodoo curse on someone, anyone know of a good priestess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the reviews at Trip Advisor - [url="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g40314-d93076-Reviews-Ramada_Limited_Metairie-Metairie_Louisiana.cink_html"]http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g40314-d93076-Reviews-Ramada_Limited_Metairie-Metairie_Louisiana.cink_html[/url] - although they don't show any recent reviews. Regular rate starts at $65 according to the Trip Advisor site. It could just be because of the drive to get into New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveinCT Posted January 24, 2005 #35 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Has anyone stayed at the Avenue Garden Hotel? We are booked there for the night before we cruise (April 15). Would love to hear feedback on what it is like. Also - We were thinking about going to Pao O'Brien's for dinner - any feedback on that?
