Bonya, a neglected community in the N.T.
Broadcast: 11/07/2003
Reporter: Catherine Liddle
MICHAEL COGGAN: First to a shocking case of neglect on a remote Aboriginal community.
Bonya is 400km north-east of Alice Springs.
When Stateline reporter Catherine Liddle visited recently she found a community living in appalling conditions, without power, flushing toilets and septic systems.
CATHERINE LIDDLE, REPORTING: From the depths of an ancient landscape the voice of the small community of Bonya is battling to be heard.
It tells a tale of years of neglect, but no-one is listening.
For the community of Bonya, time has stood still.
The tin sheds in which they live are a tough reminder of a bygone era.
They have no stoves, no fridges and no bathrooms.
And even though power lines are linked to each house, the community has never had electricity.
LINDSAY BOOKIE, HEALTH CENTRE CHAIRMAN: The power, it's a joke what they did.
Waste of money, you know, that's where the money waste and they say the money's been spent on Aboriginal communities -- it's wasted.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: There are no records to say exactly when the power lines were installed.
Residents reckon it was 20 to 30 years ago.
The power lines lead from a central generator shed.
But the generator itself never arrived.
It's believed the infrastructure was originally funded by the now defunct Department of Aboriginal Affairs and residents were told that the generator's installation had been delayed by a row between the DAA and local government over financial responsibility.
In 1978, local government handed full responsibility of outstation communities to the Commonwealth, which then transferred the responsibility to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission when it was established in 1990.
Amidst the upheaval, it appears Bonya and its generator were forgotten.
LINDSAY BOOKIE: You got no way of keeping meat or bread or butter or anything like that.
When you put things in the kitchen you've got to lock the door, the flies get to it.
And it's bad, people get sick, kids get sick, the oldies.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: But the community's story gets worse.
The tin houses have concrete floors, and the buildings offer little protection against the desert temperature extremes of hot and cold because walls and ceilings have no insulation.
MINNIE BANANKA, RESIDENT: Cold cold, this one, cold everywhere.
There's wind coming through, wind coming through, not enough blanket, feel cold.
Last night, I been sleeping really cold, wind come.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: The white gums around Bonya are a stark reminder of another of nature's unforgiving elements -- water.
The entire community is built on a floodplain, and when it rains the houses and the people get wet.
MINNIE BANANKA: Rain time, rain comes this way, runs right through in the house, wet everywhere, wet, it's not good house, only tin house, that's all.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: The flood waters also run through the community's rubbish dump, the streams collecting and then spreading debris as the waters snake down through houses.
LINDSAY BOOKIE: Living condition here is bad, people living in a rubbish dump you might as well say.
You wouldn't put your pig in there 'cause it's like a pig sty, we're living.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: Most communities now have access to flushing toilets and septic systems, but not Bonya.
Again the records are vague but sometime in the early 1980's, the community was equipped with purpose-built long-drop latrines.
While the latrines have an indefinite lifetime, the pits should be filled in after eight to ten years' use.
20 years on and they're filled past capacity.
JD CAMPBELL, RESIDENT: Toilets blocks are not fit enough for any, um, kind of human being to even go anywhere near the toilets.
It's pretty bad.
I mean for me I don't really like using the ablutions, there's no water to flush any doings away and the smell is unbelievable.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: The community itself doesn't have the resources to maintain the latrines and the council truck broke down four years ago.
Basic services like rubbish collection are no longer an option.
Late last year the community was offered a sweetener, a new community housing plan to be built around the health clinic, which was upgraded four years ago.
But since then, they say ATSIC has left them in the dark.
LINDSAY BOOKIE: Well, I try, I go in or ring 'em up, I said what's happening to Bonya?
What are they doing?
They gonna get the houses or what?
Then he turns around and tells me we got not enough money, we got to go back to Canberra to get more money.
Where's the money they tell people in the first place?
CATHERINE LIDDLE: The community says ATSIC has failed them.
Residents say ATSIC representatives are rarely seen at the community and they claim that when reps do visit, they don't stay long.
MINNIE BANANKA: ATSIC mob coming this way, they just give us a paper and walk away.
Quick, not say anything, just walk away.
Quick, not properly, not proper way.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: The irony of ATSIC communicating by letter has not been lost on the illiterate adult community.
LINDSAY BOOKIE: Why bring paper out when people can't read or write.
These things need people here to read it, we got no-one here to sit down and talk to the people, to tell em.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: ATSIC says the people of Bonya have not been forgotten.
It says representatives regularly visit the community and it's fully aware of the problems.
CLARRY ROBINYA, ATSIC COUNSELLOR: I agree with people out there.
I wouldn't live in it myself 'cos the conditions what they live in now, it's really poor conditions, no water, no hot water systems, no power, everybody just living in tin sheds.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: ATSIC says its lobbied hard to secure $2.2 million from the National Aboriginal Health Strategy to upgrade and rebuild the community.
CLARRY ROBINYA: Myself and the regional council We have put in a lot of here trying to solve this problem and trying to make it a good living area for people.
CATHERINE LIDDLE: The Bonya Development Plan will include relocation, four new houses, improved water quality and reticulated power.
Building is expected to begin within the next six months.
But the people of Bonya say they won't believe it until they see it.

Warning - Identity fraud - AMF cautions consumers about A&L Royal Finance Inc.
Tuesday, September 22, 2015
Montréal – The Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") is cautioning Québec investors about financial products and services offered by a firm purporting to operate in the financial sector and doing business as A&L Royal Finance Inc. This foreign company, whose existence could not be confirmed through the verifications conducted by the AMF cybersurveillance team, claims to have offices in Québec and in other provinces of Canada.
These verifications also revealed that A&L Royal Finance Inc. is illegally using the website content of Canadian financial market participants duly registered with the AMF, in particular the photographs and biographical information of officers or professionals. The AMF has contacted the individuals and companies concerned.
Neither A&L Royal Finance Inc. nor their alleged directors and representatives are registered with the AMF or hold a right to practise issued by the AMF. They do not rely on any exemption which would allow them to solicit Québec consumers of financial products and services.
The British Columbia Securities Commission recently cautioned investors about the activities of A&L Royal Finance Inc.
Don't become a victim of fraud
If you think you have detected or been the target of a scam, do not hesitate to contact the AMF Information Centre. Your information could help the AMF better protect consumers.
Visit the AMF website to learn about other ways to prevent fraud.

What does it do?
Not to be confused with Henry VIII's sidekick, Cardinal Wolsey, or Wolsey, the British clothing manufacturer, Wolseley UK is part of one of the world's biggest distributors of building, heating and plumbing materials to trade outlets. Founded by Dublin-born Frederick Wolseley in the late 1800s, the company grew gradually during the 20th century. Several recent acquisitions have led to it becoming the biggest British player in the field. Among the trading names under the Wolseley umbrella are Build Center, Plumb Center, Electric Center, Brandon Hire and Bathstore. The American spelling - "center" - is deliberate, despite the British origins of these parts of the firm. The business aims to double in size every five to seven years. Among recent developments is a move into new lines of renewable materials for the building industry.
Vital statistics
Wolseley has 1,800 branches in the UK, which together distribute more than 400,000 products, including 116 million bricks a year - enough to build 17,000 new homes.
The office
The head office is in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. Other main centres are in Ripon in North Yorkshire, Worcester and Milton Keynes.
Is this you?
On average, Wolseley takes about 50 graduates a year on to its general management programme, most arriving with a 2.2, although degree discipline is unimportant. Rounded characters are sought, with evidence of community or charity work during university years favoured.
The recruitment process
There's an element of self-service to the application process, which starts at the careers section of the website www.wolseley.co.uk. Candidates (assuming they get through each stage of the process) book themselves a slot at each later stage. The centre stage is key; it includes a group task relevant to the building materials trade, such as developing a slogan and poster to promote products, or producing a health and safety booklet. Your answers to an "occupational personality questionnaire" will also be taken into consideration. Training lasts for two years and involves graduates moving between several branches within one of the trading arms. It starts on the shop floor and includes learning how to drive a fork-lift truck, and dealing with customers. Recruits also attend in-house training courses on topics including IT systems, product knowledge and leadership. There's also study towards a diploma in management studies.
Top dollar?
No details here, but Wolseley claims that its pay is competitive with the UK's biggest graduate recruiters.
Beam me up Scotty?
No graduate recruit has ever failed to move into a permanent Wolseley job, and many are placed well before the end of the training programme. A personal mentor, working closely with senior management, guides this transition.
Who's the boss?
The managing director since 2006 has been Nigel Sibley, an accounting and computer science graduate from Manchester University.
Little-known fact
Founder Frederick Wolseley's initial business move was to invent the first mechanical sheep-shearing device while he was living in Australia.

Hawaii Island
At more than 4000 square miles, the island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, hence its nickname - the Big Island - and it's the newest. It is, in fact, still forming land mass due to the near continuous eruption of the Kilauea volcano. From it base on the Pacific Ocean floor to its twin volcanic summits of Mauna Kea (extinct) and Mauna Loa (dormant), the island of Hawaii rises more than 30,000 feet and is actually the tallest mountain on earth. Mt Everest in the Himalayas does reach a higher altitude, but its base is a mere 8000 feet below its peak.

With West Ham's future settled -- a long and grueling season traveling to places like Millwall instead of Old Trafford -- the final day of the Premier League campaign Sunday will see five teams fighting to avoid the two open relegation spots. The unlucky ones: Blackpool, Wigan, Birmingham City, Wolves and Blackburn. It's the first time since 1995-96 that five teams have gone into the final day not knowing whether Premier League or Championship football awaits them next season.
Just one point separates these five teams, with Blackburn and Wolves on 40 points and Wigan, Blackpool and Birmingham City on 39. It's the first time, in fact, that one measly point has separated five teams fighting relegation on the final day of a Premier League season. Do the math: There are 81 different outcome scenarios, and that's before you start factoring in goal differential.
And Sir Alex thinks he knows what "squeaky bum time" is all about, enjoying the rarefied air atop the table.
It's full-on panic mode down below, a nervy moment that reminds me of the "Tom and Jerry" episode "Heavenly Puss." In it, Tom is flattened to death by a grand piano and rides an escalator to the pearly gates. There, a bureaucrat informs Tom that with a "record like that, I can't let you through" to the gleaming Heavenly Express. Tom's only salvation: He's given one hour to turn his life around. Otherwise, the gatekeeper says, "it's this," pointing to a TV (closed-circuit, one would presume) on which a maniacal, beet-red bulldog with horns and pitchfork screams "Let me have him. Send him down. Give him to me now!"
The Prem's unfortunate five have it a wee bit better -- they get 90 minutes, plus stoppage time, for a chance to redeem themselves. Some are rallying to the occasion. Veteran striker Kevin Phillips told the media this week that his Birmingham team must produce "the game of our lives." Others are taking a different tack. Like Ian Holloway, who's been claiming that the Premier League would like nothing more than to see his Seasiders take the plunge. "Then I am not badgering them," the EPL's most endearing gadfly told reporters.
Here's a look at the relegation battles this weekend.
United vs. Blackpool (Old Trafford)
The big talking point here, of course, is whether Ferguson will turn Sunday's clash at Old Trafford into the Bebe and Gabriel Obertan show. To hear Holloway tell it, Ferguson "deserves to pick whatever team he wants to pick. No one should question it." Blackpool certainly won't complain if SAF decides to rest his main players for the upcoming Champions League final. Then again, a weakened Manchester United doesn't automatically assure victory for the opposition. Just ask Schalke. (There was also a good piece over at the Guardian on this, by Barry Glendenning.)
The latest news is that Ferguson won't field a 100 percent youth team to avoid getting into hot water with the FA. Instead, the manager has told the media that he'll play about a half dozen of his regulars, including Edwin van der Sar, Anderson, Paul Scholes, Patrice Evra, Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Fletcher.
Chris Brunskill/Getty ImagesCharlie Adam has been one of the Prem's best players this season. Can he lead Blackpool to safety Sunday?
That's bad news for Blackpool, which doesn't control its own destiny. It could stay up or be relegated with a win, tie or loss, depending on goal difference and possibly goals scored.
At least scoring goals wasn't a problem for the Tangerines last weekend against Bolton, when they put four on the board, including the 4-3 game-winner from Charlie Adam in the 63rd minute. Holloway will once again look to the leadership of his midfield maestro, perhaps playing his last game for Blackpool before the transfer window opens, to both find the back of the net (he is second on the squad with 11 league goals) and set up others, including the team's leading scorer, DJ Campbell, who's on 13 league tallies for the season. Scoring, after all, is Blackpool's best (only?) form of defense, as it has conceded a league-leading 74 goals in the Prem this season.
If -- and it's a big if -- Blackpool manages to stay up, it will be only the second Premier League season in which all three promoted clubs (Blackpool would join Newcastle and West Brom) have survived their first season in the top division since Fulham, Blackburn and Bolton did it in 2001-02.
Stoke vs. Wigan (Britannia Stadium)
Wigan's manager, Roberto Martinez, has insisted on playing attractive football this season instead of turning his players into a side that resembles what? Meat-and-potatoes Stoke, perhaps? Admirable goal, and Martinez is one of the nice guys in the league. But supporters may feel that the prettiest football is winning football in the Prem, not free-flowing passing in the Championship.
Oddly enough, Wigan is the only team never to have been relegated from English football's top division. It's one of those stats that gives you pause, until you remember that the Latics were promoted from the Championship in 2005, their first time in the top flight, and they've managed to scrape by ever since.
Chris Brunskill/Getty ImagesWigan will hope Charles N'Zogbia can find the net against Stoke on Sunday.
Their run in the Prem looked to be all but over last weekend when Wigan fell behind 2-0 to West Ham in the first half. But Charles N'Zogbia (call him Charles "Insomnia" no more!) scored twice on either side of a Conor Sammon goal, including finding the net in stoppage time, to give the Latics a crucial 3-2 win at DW Stadium.
On Sunday, Wigan will face Stoke at the Britannia. That's the bad news, as Stoke's home form -- 10 wins, four draws, four losses in the league -- has been the key to keeping the Potters safe, given their woeful road record. The good news for Wigan? Stoke may still be licking its wounds after losing the FA Cup final to Manchester City (and suffering another beatdown by City on Tuesday) and might have one eye toward its summer holiday. But the main point for Martinez will be making sure his players concentrate and avoid any gaffes, like those we saw April 30 against Everton. That's when N'Zogbia scored a goal and then gifted a penalty about 15 minutes later, and Hugo Rodallega inexplicably used his hand to block a ball in the penalty area in the 78th minute, which led to Leighton Baines' equalizer. Two points dropped for Wigan. Something it can't afford to do Sunday.
Wolves vs. Blackburn (Molineux)
This is perhaps the most straightforward match of the bunch, since both teams control their fate. If Mick McCarthy's Wolves win, they stay up; if Steve Kean's Blackburn can come away with the victory, they'll be dining at the Premier League table next season. Hopefully without the booze, at least as far as Kean is concerned. The manager was charged with drunk driving after drawing with Manchester United this past Saturday, and he missed a training session this week after having to make his monthly 22-hour round trip to Pune, India, to meet the club's owner -- and world-renowned poultry magnate -- Anuradha Desai of Venky's. (Insert your favorite chicken joke as it relates to relegation here.) Word is that Kean may be sacked even if Blackburn avoids the drop.
Not the case with Wolves, where owner Steve Morgan has intimated that he'll stick with McCarthy regardless of the outcome. "You never give the dreaded vote of confidence," Morgan told reporters, "but Mick has been here for five years, and I don't believe you get any progress at all by chopping and changing." Unlike Blackburn, Wolves have some positive momentum coming into the game, having won their past two matches by the same score, 3-1. Steven Fletcher, in particular, was superb this past Saturday. Will Wolves draw blood again?
Tottenham vs. Birmingham City (White Hart Lane)
It seems Kean isn't the only one turning to the bottle as the relegation noose tightens. Birmingham City's Ben Foster and Colin Doyle have been accused of going on a late-night drinking session right before their critical run-in with Tottenham on Sunday. They may have gotten away with it, too, if not for Doyle's wife firing off an angry tweet at 4 in the morning. Blues boss Alex McLeish took the high road: "It was an error in judgment," he told Sky Sports.
Ian Kington/AFP/Getty ImagesBen Foster and the Blues have a tough test against Tottenham.
Well, there will be no margin for error for his players Sunday. Last weekend, Birmingham's defense was disorganized as it failed to shut down Fulham's Bobby Zamora, Andy Johnson and Clint Dempsey. Birmingham has been in free fall, losing four and drawing one in the past five matches. When it faces Tottenham at White Hart Lane, the question becomes: How much does Harry Redknapp really want to be in the much-maligned Europa League next season? He has suggested that he'd rather avoid the Thursday-Sunday fixture congestion, and if that's the case, Spurs may not be so gung-ho for the match, opening the door for Liverpool to finish fifth and qualify for Europe's second-tier competition next season. Or perhaps Redknapp will go for it and try for a spot in Europe -- which is something only a win Sunday can guarantee. You can guess which outcome McLeish and his players would prefer.

You poisoned me,
Wove thoughts throughout my heart,
Changed my way of feeling,
Taught me how to love,
But you taught me wrong,
Though I give you no blame,
It was just too much,
We ran too fast,
My reflexes are now against me,
Muscle memory too quick to react,
Forcing me to hold back,
When I long to just hold her,
My arms remember holding you,
The boundaries we never learned,
I'm paying for them now,
She doesn't know how I hesitate,
Swallow it down and try to be still,
Bite it back and resist the urge,
Mislearned lessons trying to do right,
Flush out the poison in my brain,
Bittersweet although the taste may be,
I'm fighting back, vowing to learn better.

Magic Tree House Research Guide #07: Titanic
by Mary Pope Osborne, Will Osborne
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Lexile: 680L
I really enjoyed reading this book for a few reasons. The books primary purpose was to inform children about the Titanic. I like the fact that Magic Tree House has the ability to write a totally non-fiction book while keeping the interest of young readers. I liked the pages of illustrations that helped the reader visualize what was described on the pages before or after. There are also diagrams and flow charts that explain the parts of the boat and what went wrong. This is yet another way to attract diverse readers who need the pictorial representation to fully comprehend the story. I also like the flow of the book. It goes from beginning to end. It starts with the construction of the boat, and ends with the sinking. I think the main point of the book is to inform young readers about what the time of the Titanic and the tragic story that surrounds it
I enjoyed reading this informational chapter book for many reasons. The first reason was because I liked how organized it was. When you first open the book, a table of contents is provided which is helpful for the reader. I also liked how the author provided side note definitions and pictures for the reader. By doing this, the reader is able to get a better understanding of the information. For example on pages 22-25, the author provides a picture of the titanic and labels the parts of the ship. Another reason I liked this book was because of the language and how descriptive it was. It was very easy to read and understand especially for young readers. The message of this book is to inform readers about the history of the Titanic.
In my opinion this is a good book. I liked that this book is nonfiction and that it makes sure that its information is correct. It also gives the reader at the end of the book more sources that the reader can visit if they are interested in learning more about the Titanic. I also really enjoyed the illustrations and photos that are used all about the book. In the first few pages, there is a four paged diagram of everything that was put into and how the ship was organized so the reader can see the whole ship. Thirdly, I liked the writing of this because it is all well organized and flows from one chapter to another. The book just moves from the creation of the boat and then finally ends on looking at after the sinking and the excursions to revisit what is left of the ship in its areas that it finally settled in its resting place. I believe that the main point of this book was to inform the reader about everything involving the Titanic.
a. I really enjoyed this chapter book for many reasons. First, of all the subject of this informational chapter book is very interesting and I believe that it would keep a young students interest. The overall structure of the chapter book was the first reason why I enjoyed the story. The chapters are short, include easy-to-understand terminology, and provide definitions for unfamiliar terms in the margins. Each chapter has numerous pictures that show real life pictures or recollections of what the Titanic looked like. In addition, included was pictures of actual artifacts from the Titanic. The book included a lot information about the Titanic including a time line, staff members, famous passengers, diagram of the ship, and drawings of what the rooms looked like in each passenger class. The chapter book also included maps drawn to scale to show the geography and surrounding ships of where the titanic sank. Lastly, the chapter book included real life photographs from the ship and the wreckage and even photographs of the aftermath of the Titanic around the world. The main idea of this story was to provide information and facts about the Titanic is an way that would appeal to a young reader.

The had a nice time during the Antalya boat and city trip. The trip is well organized and seperated into a few parts. After the transport to the starting point of the boat trip, we traveled to the nice waterfall by boat. Here you got a lot of chances to make some nice pictures with great views. The boat trip is followed by a lunch in a small restaurant. The food there is ok, but the highlight is the great view on the Akdeniz. After your lunch, you got some free time, to visit the Old City of Antalya, or to go shopping. Last point of the Trip is the visit of the National Park in Antalya. You will love the waterfalls.

Hi Anne
As far as I can tell it actually hasn't hurt too much yet, at least
around here. It is just coming up to the roads and is only over a little
bit in a few places. I think it has risen about as much as it is going
to also.
By the way, sorry for the duplicate photos. I took alot since I didn't

Traditionally, most of the eight men's and women's wild cards are given to British players. But this year, the LTA said the four "most deserving" men's players ranked in the top 350 would get a wild card and two more would be selected after an eight-man playoff.
For the women, the LTA would chose four players, and four others would have a playoff for one spot. The remaining wild cards for both will be made by the All England Club's championship committee.
"The LTA gets criticized for just giving it away, but we want to get away from that," LTA performance director David Felgate said Wednesday. "I think it sends a hard message to players who might be expecting them."

State, War, and the State of War by K. J. Holsti
Book DescriptionWar has traditionally been studied as a problem deriving from the relations between states. Strategic doctrines, arms control agreements, and the foundation of international organizations such as the United Nations are designed to prevent wars between states. Since 1945, however, the incidence of interstate war has actually been declining rapidly, while the incidence of internal wars has been increasing. The author argues that in order to understand this significant change in historical patterns, we should jettison many of the analytical devices derived from international relations studies and shift attention to the problems of 'weak' states, those states unable to sustain domestic legitimacy and peace. This book surveys some of the foundations of state legitimacy and demonstrates why many weak states will be the locales of war in the future. Finally, the author asks what the United Nations can do about the problems of weak and failed states.

This was a one day discount offer in the email. We were still using an antiquated, bulky plasma screen that was no longer functional. I wanted something nice for the kids, but I was on a tight budget and nothing matched until this showed up. Very pleased so far. The test will be in the long haul to see if it continues functioning this well.

Ohh, Noreen, that sounds painful. I bet the thigh hurt worse than the knee.
My husband had tissue taken from the thigh to pad some nerves is his lower
back some yrs ago and I do remember how the thigh hurt worse.
I am on the mend taking therapy but still icing to reduce the swelling
which seems slow to go. I thought I would be back much more quickly than I
but hopefully time will get me there. I am sure it is that age thing!

Comfort- no charm
This hotel provides a nice break from the crowds in the French Quarter. They offer a free, full breakfast, and 2 hours of free cocktails in the evenings. The layout is the same as all of the Embassy Suites. There is plenty of room for a family. They have a small pool and a hot tub just off the breakfast room area. There is a parking garage for a fee, but I take a chance on the side streets. It is a perfect location for White Linen Night, art gallery block party on St Peters, every Aug. The French Quarter is walkable, not at night alone. This is a very comfortable property, but no charm.
I was here BEFORE Katrina
Marble floors greet you at the entrance lobby and continue into the lounge and restaurant. My girls were wowed by the mural on one wall which depicts various window scenes you might find in the French Quarters and includes lifesize statues of musicians, tourists, etc. This is a very attractive and eye catching display that adds a nice focal point during breakfast or cocktail hour. The staff is friendly and very efficient. We checked in at about 3AM so this was helpful as we were tired and in a hurry to get our room and get to sleep!
Be careful in the gift shop, the items I went in for: Halls lozenges and small jar of Vaseline, were grossly overpriced and the souvenirs can be found at the "River Walk" where there are numerous stands and shops beyond the food court.
My room included the entry room/living area for greeting guests and hanging out. Rooms also include two double beds, in the bedroom area, chairs, and a TV. The entry room was large enough to accommodate several people, and included a couch, chair, and another TV. There was also a fridge, coffee pot and mini wet bar and microwave.
I noted the lack of a window in the outer room but the balconly in the inner chamber makes up for it and takes up the whole back wall. There was a small table and two chairs on the balcony but I chose to go outside rather than sit on the balcony. Also, I thought that the mural outside the suite entrance again was a nice touch because it gives you the feel that you are actually peering at Mardi Gras scenes outside of the hotel and adds an airy feel.
We found our rooms to be clean, comfortable and roomy for our purposes.
I would have recommended this hotel to anyone, pre Hurricane Katrina. A recent follow up call revealed that the staff is shortened so the rooms are only cleaned every three days.
Unique Quality: This hotel was great because of the made-to-order breakfast! I requested shrimp and crawfish omelettes every day of my stay! Unfortunately, due to short staffing and the rigors of rebuilding the city, made-to-order breakfasts are not standard anymore. They are offering a limited breakfast buffet. Emeril's Restaurant is up the street in the opposite direction.
Another bonus was the cocktail hour from 5:30 – 7:30PM. Happy Hour comes with free drinks and bowls of snacks that you can eat at the bar or take to a cozy table. There were the typical peanuts of course but I picked up two more bowls which included dried fruits and raisins in one bowl and a Chex type mix in the other. The atmosphere was open and friendly, giving guests a chance to relax, mingle and unwind.
The pool and jacuzzi were OUTDOORS--strange because most Embassy suites offer heated indoor pools. There's also a gym off the side of the lounge area but I could not see myself working out so close to the viewing eyes of the public!
Directions: This hotel used to be near the Convention Center, which is now closed or torn down. Mulattes Restaurant is a local favorite right up the corner and further up Julia Street is the Riverwalk, filled with cafes.
Good location and room to spare
We were in N. O. partially for business so needed to be close to the Convention Center. This is a "big box" hotel that lacks the charm of the smaller French Quarter inns but the location/amenities made it a good choice for a business/pleasure trip. We were also lucky that most of our nights could be expensed as we were on a tight budget for our personal fun!
The suites have a living area with sleeper sofa, dining table, chairs, TV, microwave, small 'frige and coffeemaker, a bathroom, and a separate bedroom with TV and dresser space. Some of the bedrooms open onto small (no-frills) balconies. There's some worn spots here and there but nothing too serious. Suites come in different price levels - the pricier ones have extra amenities. All come with a good-sized closet, ironing board, iron, hairdryer and cable TV. They also have an adjacent building of new designer suites called "The Lofts". A small outdoor pool, sundeck and concierge desk are in, or close to, the lobby, and limited parking is available at $26 a night.
Besides lots of room, the other pluses are the complimentary breakfasts and happy hours. Breakfast is nothing short of a feast - made-to-order eggs, potatoes, scrambled eggs, waffles, grits and pancakes can be had at the steam table. Smaller, self-serve buffets offer cereals, bagels, toast, muffins, pastries, fresh fruit, granola bars and beverages. We were able to fill up enough in the mornings to last until dinner at night. Complimentary cocktails are served from 5-7 daily and is a full bar event that even offers a "flavor or the day" frozen daiquiri!
The Convention Center, Riverwalk shopping/dining, Riverfront Streetcars, and the cruise ship dock are just two blocks away, and there is a small convenience store just down the block. It's a very pleasant 20-minute walk along the river to the Quarter if you like to stroll. All-in-all, a great place for conventioners, families, and vacationers needing to bunk somewhere the night before a cruise. See their website for full list of amenities.
Unique Quality: Complimentary breakfast and happy hour, lots of room and convenient to shopping/transportation/restaurants
