"Super fun! The food was great, and between the bowling, music, hula hoops & dancing (did i mentions hula hoops?) we had a great time. Staff is friendly and you won't find New Orleans charm like this just anywhere! Great for a casual after-rehearsal and for medium-large groups. We had about 50 people."

Maison Dupuy Hotel

Hotel:

Omni Royal Orleans Hotel

"I really wanted to give this hotel 5 stars, as it is beautiful, has a great lobby bar for meeting up with out-of-town guests and wonderful brunch (not to mention rooftop patio overlooking the city and lovely rooms.) The bellhops and service staff was very nice and helpful as well, but given one incident involving the guest gift bags that was not handled so well at first, i just can't give it that final star. Fantastic location and helpful planning team when booking a room block in advance, though."
