We stayed in the balcony room and were delighted. After a long drive in it was relaxing to sit and people watch while sipping on an adult beverage while waiting to walk down the street for a bite to eat. The next day was started with a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Karen to fuel a day of walking the French Quarter. That evening we attended the Cajun and Creole Basics class which provided as much history of what we were preparing as instruction on how to prepare it. The food was excellent, the instruction superb, and the conversation priceless.
