Tulane game hotel

Postby mustangbill67 » Thu May 13, 2010 2:41 pm

The Mustang Club has negotiated a $145 per night rate at the InterContinental Hotel (St. Charles and Poydras) for the Tulane game on October 30. Walking distance to the quarter and the game. I went ahead and reserved a 4 night stay through the 31st. A lot going on that weekend in NO. Our game, Halloween, the Saints and Pittsburg and the Voodoo Festival.

when i called the person answering the phone said she could help me with a reservation. I asked for the "Tulane Football game rate for SMU". It took her about 10 seconds to find the group. The rate type shown on my confirmation is "tulane university" for $145 per night. I would try again. You can use my name as a reference if you want.

There was a minor glitch earlier with them finding the reservation but Debbie in the MC office got it straightened out and it should be fine now. I was able to book without a problem.

I'm in for that - IF the airfare can charge also.

Will be in NO in August for L. Armstrong Jazz Festival.

The lineup isn't posted for the Vodoo Festival, but when it does the flights and Hotel rooms will fill up quickly. The Emmanual Sanders Steelers will be playing the Thomas Morestead led Saints at home that weekend as well. And Halloween in New Orleans always makes for a strange place.
Should make for a damn fine weekend in NO!

I called they did not have a clue, perhaps group sales not on the weekend.

After making 4 calls on the weekend to the hotel ....



You must call the local number below not the 877 or 800
504-585-4388 Monday – Friday
Ask for the Reservation supervisor Danielle
The code is “Tulane Football game Rate for SMU”
The rate is $145.00 per night plus taxes ($290.00 regular rate)
This is a M-TWO NIGHT STAY Saturday & Sunday +


Cheers
