I spent a long weekend in new orleans
Thursady night to monday afternoon

combination mattress run and using a united fly 3 voucher

spent thursday and friday nights in the Renaissance Pere
and Sat and sunday nights in the IC Nawlins


I walked from the renaissance to the IC
an easy 2 blocks over and 1 block up

I used the special checking desk
i booked the cheapest $109 rate, used a free nite cert
i was upgraded to the 11th floor, (not the club level)
and was given a room with a balcony
additional upgrades were available for purchase
but i did not take them up on that offer

the room was nice and large
but had not been cleaned properly

apparently there had been another ambassador member in that room
as his introduction letter was still there, as well as 1/2 of his free gift.

the gift consisted of 3 apples and 2 pralines,
and the tray of 3 apples was still in the room

i was also given a free movie credit which i didnt have time to use

the room cleaning service was terrible
despite the "do not disturb" sign posted on the door
on both days the maids knocked then tried to enter the room
same thing at night when they do the turndown service

this is my 3rd different IC this year
and i am currently AMB PC Platinum
so i hope this raises me to Royal Ambassador

nice hotel
just the housekeeping staff needs a lecture
