My group held its annual Louisiana State meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn during the second weekend of April 2024. In preparation for our 2-day meeting, the very accommodating hotel staff worked tirelessly with us for several months to get everything exactly right and that is exactly the way the whole experience turned out. As a principal planner for the event, we (the hotel staff and I) developed menus for a Friday evening social, a Saturday morning continental breakfast for the ladies and the gentlemen arms of our group, and a perfectly wonderful Saturday evening buffet banquet. The buffet meal was attractively presented and quite delicious and the hotel staff attending to our group did not miss a beat. Absolutely nothing went wrong and best of all, I heard nothing but appreciative rave review and absolutely no complaints about the meetings, the hotel service or the hotel rooms. It was the perfect weekend getaway as well. I cannot offer sufficient accolades to describe the whole experience from the beginning of the planning process to the moment we all said "so long" to one another on Sunday morning.
