I have booked four points by Sheraton french quarter for 3 nights for family of 4. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi Meggsy. I have stayed at that hotel twice in the last 2 years. I like it very much. Although it fronts on Bourbon St., it is on a corner, so you can exit the hotel and be off Bourbon St quickly and be on some nicer side streets in the Quarter. The hotel is friendly and relaxed, has a nice lobby bar, clean and tidy rooms, good front desk staff. I ask for and get a quiet room -- if that is important then ask for a quiet room in the back overlooking the pool/courtyard area, not on Bourbon St.

I used Starwood hotel points both times I stayed there. I would do so again. Very good location and service.

I am heading to New Orleans next week for 5 days, really looking forward to it. Staying at the Inn on Ursuline this time as they had a deal I could not resist and I am low on Starwood points...

P.S. Did you finalization a rental at Luna Encantada in Playa?

I am not familiar with that hotel specifically, but the location is very central to plenty of things to see and do in the FQ.

Thanks, I got a great rate through Starwood so that is why I had opted for this hotel. In regards to Luna Encantada, I will be finalising it at then end of the month as they are not taking booking as yet, but it looks great there!!
