Do not stay at the Garden District Hotel on St. Charles Ave for now.
We did recently. The sink and bathtub in our room did not drain. The
elevator was so slow, you wondered. And, there was an obligatory
daily 'Resort Charge' of $6.95 added to our bill that had not been
divulged on the Web site where we made our reservation.

The staff and management our perfectly congenial in moving us to
another room where the drains worked better, but not perfectly. And,
there are renovation projects underway on the plumbing and the
elevator, but for now stay elsewhere.

Best wishes,
Keith Arbogast
