David Salley sends the following info on hotels:

I have done some research on hotels. Availability doesn't seem to be the issue and rates are the key. Here is what I have so far.

Wyndham Canal Place (good location, on edge of FQ, full service hotel)
2/15 - 189
2/16 - 229
2/17 - 269
2/18 - 269
2/19 - 199
2/20 - 199

Provincial Hotel (right down from Mom's apt)
2/15 - 169
2/16 to 2/20 - 269

La Richelieu (also on Charters St near Mom's apt)
King or Queen only, no room with 2 double beds
2/15 - 150
2/16 - 150
2/17 - 2/20 - 250

Chateau Hotel (half block from Mom's)
2/15 - 180
2/16 - 180
2/17 - 2/20 - 240

W French Quarter (300 block of Charters)
2/15 - 299
2/16 - 2/20 - 339

Note: with the possible exception of the Wyndham, ALL of the above hotels require FULL NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT AT TIME OF BOOKING!!!!

I am checking on a few other places. It looks like the Wyndham might the best deal, although some of the others are more convenient to Mom's apt. The Wyndham is attached to my building and I can probably hook up anyone who stays there and has a car with free parking. Also, I have a contract there and might be able to get a little bit better rate.

Send this email to everyone who you know that might be coming and looking for a room. My thought is that if we book several rooms, they may work with us more on the rates.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!
