This is your place to have your event! Thank you Diego and Shelby.

Where do we begin? This past weekend we had our daughters Quinceañera at The Alexander Room &…read moreTerrace. Mrs. Cindy was incredible to work with throughout the entire planning process. Venue- The venue space was large enough to hold our guests of 150 comfortably. The added drapery and greenery to the chandeliers was such a beautiful touch that complemented our decor. We loved the option that our guests could go outside on the terrance and enjoy the sunset. The bridal suite made for beautiful photos and comfortably could fit a small bridal party. The extra touches of tissues, mints, pins, and other odds and ends that may be needed was such a thoughtful touch. Staff- Our family made several comments of how great the staff was! Everyone was so nice and helpful! Lots of smiling faces and exceptional service! Mrs. Cindy really made sure to listen to every detail and made it happen! From set up to take down she was there and made it 10x better! She checked on us regularly throughout the evening and made sure every thing ran smoothly. Budget- One of the main reasons why we choose The Alexander Room was because they offer a "Special Events" package. Since we were not hosting a wedding, we had the option to customize a package that better fit our budget. We had the option to add on certain items should we have wanted them. Food- There was an array of food options to choose from for our event. Each item we choose was absolutely delicious and Mr. Timphony ( the owner), was the chef. The Gumbo was also delicious! All and all this was a 10/10. Not a single thing to complain about. I absolutely recommend The Alexander Room for any event! They have been such a pleasure to work with! The Alexander Room and Terrance is absolutely Metairie's best kept secret when it comes to Venues!

I attended a workshop here this week and have mostly good things to say about the facility. First…read moreoff, I had no idea it existed, do it was a nice surprise. It's located near Lakeside Mall in Metairie and shares a parking lot with other businesses in the building. Parking was a breeze the morning I was there. When I arrived I was pleased with the attentive service I received from the staff. They had breakfast service set up buffet style and the food was good. Almost as soon as I sat down, I of course spilled my water. I swear, I'm as messy am eater as a 3 year old. As I was looking for napkins an employee noticed what was going on and swooped in to clean up. Lunch service was much the same. It was a health insurance seminar, so they were challenged to find appropriate foods, and did a pretty decent job. Deli sandwich fixings and gumbo. I might have gone with a grilled chicken and veggies option and maybe offered brown rice with the gumbo. Their options were very tasty though. The staff was good about clearing the tables and they were friendly. The room is large and was very clean. There were a few chandeliers and there was an available stage area. The bathrooms were adequate and clean, but there were no paper towels available. All in all it's a nice space. Sort of a blank canvas that, with some decorating, probably dresses up nicely. It was perfect for the daytime event that I attended.

I attended a Quinceanera at this venue and was pleasantly surprised by its size, location and…read moredecor.It could easily accommodate a few hundred people standing and approximately 200 with tables and chairs. For the party, there was plenty of space for tables, a food area, fruit table, dessert table and photo booth without crowding the DJ's space. There's also a pool table in a rear room. Pros: location, size, layout and lighting. Cons: Temperature in warmer weather, bar service I deducted a star because it was stuffy/AC wasn't ideal for its size with a smaller group of people. The other less than ideal aspect was the bar. The bartender didn't know how to make a rum punch and didn't have flavors for it. For gin, there was no tonic. Certain mixers should be standard with a hall serving adult beverages. If you're looking to host a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party or reception in the Kenner area, this is a good find.

We chose Home2 Suites because we've stayed at a few Hilton Hotels and liked our experience. The desk clerk was very friendly when we checked in and smiled throughout our interaction. Once we completed checking in, she gave us 3 bottles of water. (it was hot during our stay) The room was clean, and breakfast was very good and varied each morning. When we stay at hotels, we rather not have room service come in so we were able to get clean towels from housekeeping each morning without any questions. The hotel is in close proximity to the airport. Just know that the parking lot is small and we had to park in the back most nights we got in late.

We were simply looking for something close to the airport because our flight was delayed so we needed a place for an extra night. While close to the airport, it isn't close to where we thought we'd be coming from or where we had to get back to. It's really a neither here nor there but I don't see anything significant about this location. The bed was pretty comfortable overall. The fan / AC in the room was noisy which kept me up probably the most but it was bearable not to complain about it. The liquid soap was nice (not watered down), and the room was quiet aside from a couple door slams. It's a nice room and interior but not really what we needed. I've stayed at Home2 in the past but I do not remember the apartment-like amenities. One thing I found odd was the bathroom door. If you were using the bathroom, you couldn't open the door from the outside to walk in (as couples do). The door slammed into my legs. It was a big door. Overall a room that provided us with a decent night's sleep. The gym was merely satisfactory. But very friendly staff!
