This was my first time in NOLA; traveling solo and Jay made my experience wonderful! He called me the day before I arrived to confirm my train arrival. Jay picked me up from the train station and the following day gave me a short tour of NOLA! He also took the time to take me to a free jazz concert in the park. The Monte Cristo was beautiful, bright, and cheerful!! Thanks Jay for making my first trip to NOLA a great experience. Should I visit again, I would defintely stay at the Monte Cristo.
