As usual someone found something to complain about You drive 20 hours round trip and spend $500 for a room because the school did no planning and can't answer a question. It will cost be $800-$1,000 to attend I didn't need to get screwed for $300 for nothing ... as I recall, when you attend Troy football games you opt for Microtel in Ozark for $avings. There are hundreds of competitive inns/hotels in NoLa that want our business. I will shop before playing the blame game. BTW..........Go Trojans!!!!

Also, to make those feel better that didnt get into the NO Marriot... at peak times the elevators have been REALLY slow and takes forever to get the car from valet. (First world/team hotel problems).

What hotel. I'm not paying the rate they want I book at room at Maison Dupuy Hotel via priceline for $148. Not sure if it's still there? Now, I think it may be a non-refundable purchase? Prices have jumped since I first looked yesterday ... I guess they saw some demand? Booked there also. See you there buddy

TroyStet,
I am sure the EconoLodge in Slidell would love to have you stay with them. Might even throw in a FREE stale bagel and warm glass of milk since you are such a big star.

This is not on Troy. We knew for sure yesterday and they sent out information yesterday. On line it may say sold out. I called in and asked for the New Orleans Bowl - not Troy as the hotel just found out yesterday that Troy was the team. Also make sure that if they say sold out, that they are not referring to the room type. A room type may be sold out but not the block of rooms. Just a tip from a hotelier. Our hotel will host MTSU - and I will walk around with my Troy Yeti all next week!

All they were told was Marriot on canal st which there are two. No instructions on how to book or anything. They booked both before they found the correct one. Now granted they did it Sat night. My beef was Troy not knowing to tell fans about the bowl rate and the hotel staff not knowing the three times I called this morning

The hotels and City donโt know and couldnโt give two craps about the R&L carrier Bowl. This is the city where for $10 you can watch a $20 hooker...... oh never mind.

Not to bang on anyone but sometimes we have to think outside of the box. I was driving home from Ark when I hard the news about the bowl game. First thing I done was get on the New Orleans Bowl site and find out where the Sunbelt Team would be staying. It gave me all the information I needed and within 10 minutes I had my hotel booked with the blocked off rate.

The team hotel being sold out could have something to do with the team, cheerleaders and band being reported to staying there. The band stayed at the JW last time we were there. I got my room and Iโm ready to go.
The Lafayette Hotel in the arts district has rooms for $107

The last thing I did on Friday before leaving for Arkansas was the exact same thing ... I verified SunBelt Team Hotel for BOTH Mobile and New Orleans and booked rooms. Needless to say that worked out well!
