What are the top 3 or 4 timeshares in New Orleans? And would early to mid October be a good time to visit?

Everyone will have their own opinion, but I would say pretty much it's Quarter House, Club La Pension and Hotel de L'Eau Vive, not necessarily in that order.

October can be variable. It's hurricane season then, but mostly the temperatures will be moderate (mid-80s or so), but rainy. FWIW, Weather.com lists October as the driest month, but my experience has been that it can be rainy.

Thanks for posting this question. This is on my list of places to visit someday. - when gas is cheaper, I make more money, or retire. Retimement will probally come first.

I will be there Columbus day weekend maybe we can meet up. BTW Hoc posted what I would have but I believe there are some new resorts there now like Wyndham.

I've been there twice in October, but at the end of October. We went for Halloween..weather was great both times. Not hot at all..probably mid 70's each time, nights required a light sweater.

Since we went for about 4 days each time, we stayed in hotels.

Right. October is a transitional month. Generally warmer in the beginning and cooler toward the end.

Getting Around New Orleans

Q:

Its been a long time since we vacationed in New Orleans

How far is the airport to town
How much does it cost via Cab

Any Hotels offer one night hotel stays with 7-14 day free parking
Do the hotels/timeshares offer complimentary Shuttle Bus Service

Is there a Rental Car Facility with several car rental companies
located in one off site building - or - individual rental agencies

Wyndham La Belle Maison

We stayed there when it was a hotel. Not bad, but not particularly nice either. Possibly it was upgraded when they converted it to timeshare. It is still a bit of a hike from the French Quarter. Only about a 5-minute walk to the Riverfront Mall, but about 20 minutes into the Quarter.

How far is the airport to town

About a 30-minute drive, unless there's a lot of traffic, in which case it can be a bit longer.

How much does it cost via Cab

Cost me about $38 by cab (with tip) from the Marriott French Quarter a few years ago. About $30 for 1 or 2 people, or for more than 2, it's $12 a person. There is a shuttle service (Supershuttle or something like it) that's a bit cheaper, close to the same price for 3 people.

Do the hotels/timeshares offer complimentary Shuttle Bus Service

No. Not the ones in downtown New Orleans or the French Quarter. You might get one out by the airport with free shuttle service, but who wants to stay there?

I think I remember that he's staying at the Quarter House.

Marti I am as Hoc said staying in the Quarterhouse. If you would like to go I am not using my unit all week in fact I have a unit you can have for 6 days.

I know a limo driver I believe I posted Johns # on Hoc's sticky page with all the NOLA info. Anyway he gives me a super good del for airport RT pick ups because we had booked him once for an entire week. He charges me $80 just for me but will charge any member I refer $100 for a real strech limo RT from the airport.

Frank--

I know that Glitter refers to him as "Johnny the Limo Guy" in that thread, but I don't think there's any actual contact info there. If you let us know, I'll post it.
