I swear I almost puked. It's pretty raunchy. I can only imagine just how more gross it gets during Mardi Gras. <br /><br />And my husband totally fell for the, I bet I know where you got your shoes from line! I laughed when I read it in your post.

I had a little getaway with my husband a couple of years ago and room 305 was delightful, it had french doors facing the courtyard and again at the end of the room; which led to a private/romantic patio. I would love to go back. It looks like to had a lovely time!marisoleilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825204867123086829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-27073175115474928452010-06-23T07:31:45.764-05:002010-06-23T07:31:45.764-05:00Love that bathroom & courtyard.

The courtyard furniture was an off white color with like colored candles and lanterns everywhere!!! It was very sensual (esp @ night) and contributed to the W vibe. The rooms had an shagreen like wallpaper (never could find out who the manufacterer was) and the bathrooms were exactly the same as your pictures.

She said it as if these were secret things. It was so cute.<br /><br />I try to have a hurricane at Pat's every time I go, just to think about possibly being in the same place that my mother was almost 50 years ago.Jeannine | The Small and Chic Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702901309930825003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-77346267255850169342010-06-21T12:00:43.172-05:002010-06-21T12:00:43.172-05:00Looks like you had a great time!
