This hotel is... fine, I guess. But not great and certainly not a good value for the money. Maybe it just hasn't met MY needs very well. I needed to find a spot to get some work and reading done, and this was certainly NOT a good place for that. I went out by the pool, and everything was FILTHY-- garbage on every table. Inside the hotel itself, there are almost no places to sit down with a colleague at a table (unless you mean inside a restaurant or bar)... and that is very odd for a conference hotel. The rooms are certainly nothing special-- you can probably find a room as nice or better with a few blocks.

For the record, the conference facilities themselves seem to be nice. And hotel has sort of a nice story behind it, having been closed for quite a few years after Katrina.
