The Cajun Encounters tour took me to the Honey Island Swamp where I saw my first up-close, wild alligator. Not just one, but a whole bunch! Not to mention the turtles and local birds that are a lot different from the birds I'm used to in the north. 

Our tour guide, Bishop, was fantastic. He was funny, personal, and knew his stuff. He also managed to attract not just gators but wild pigs as well. 

If I go back to New Orleans--no--WHEN I go back, I fully intend on going on this tour again.

No maid service… we were there 3 days. The room was ok for the price. One elevator was out of service so it was the stairs or the back entrance. A long drive to the French Quarter but we managed. All in all it was an ok stay

The location was okay but it was VERY loud (both from outside and inside). The rooms are dated, showing a lot of signs of wear and weren't very clean. We made the best of it but I don't think we'd choose to stay here again.

It was very noisy but maybe it was just an unusual weekend. There seemed to be a lot of sorority/fraternity parties going on. It was hectic to get an elevator and we waited 45 minutes for our car. The staff seems very patient and nice. The room was fine except for the noise level.
