Recognize anyone?

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!!!!!!

Be sure to say you're with the Krewe of Coleen. They will give any available discounts, and also will group Krewe Members together, when they register. This is where all the Howell family are staying, Saturday through Tuesday. We’ve stayed here many times and it’s great. Not only does it Include continental breakfast, but all rooms have microwaves, fridge, etc. It’s on Rampart on the North Edge of Quarter. 3 blocks from Bourbon Street and 7 blocks from Queen Coleen’s on Chartres.

Other hotels that we recommend are as follows. Please be aware that during Mardi Gras, hotels generally require 4-5 day minimum, and often require cash deposits.
