The Westin New Orleans
The hotel was decorated for the holidays and was beautiful. The breakfast buffet in the restaurant was delicious and the omelette station was delightful! My crawfish omelette was just the Cajun touch I needed. The staff is all wonderful and has great customer service. We will be staying here ...
