What an outstanding job you and your staff did -- from the room set ups, snacks, to the terrific lunch. It ran like a well-oiled machine with alot of Southern hospitality thrown in... Our 100 participants were entertained, informed and all fell in love with New Orleans. As General McArthur said -- "We shall return!!!"

It is not customary for me to be writing to anyone in regards to giving praise for customer service I receive. The service I received from your staff during my recent stay exceeded my wildest expectations. They were very gracious and understanding...The food presentation was tasteful and well received...You have a very fine team of employees and I will be recommending that my company stay at your property each time we are in town for a convention.

I am writing to inform you of the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL service that we received on our recent stay at the Embassy Suites. We will always keep this Embassy Suites location at the front of the line for other business meetings.

Let me take this opportunity to personally thank you. Everyone was professional, accommodating, and very flexible. The entire unit commented about the great food and service. Most notable were the last minute changes that I was put through, and in turn then put you through. You made everything I asked for happen! All of your staff was ready and willing to go above and beyond in their services. You all are truly professional. I can only say I would recommend you to everyone I encounter.

Thank you so much for yet another successful dinner meeting during the AACR convention. As you know, this is our second year working with the Embassy Suites, and in keeping with past experiences, it was a pleasure! I received nothing but positive feedback from Dr. Gately and his guests. In particular, Dr. Gately praised your two banquet captains that evening. Please let them know just how much they took the "edge" off for Dr. Gately. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
