I booked into Club Wyndham La Belle Maison using an RCI week that was going to expire at the end of the year. My expectations were low because so many RCI properties have not been brought up to today's standards, are tired and outdated. I was actually quite shocked by this property. First, it is in a fantastic location, though I will say it's pretty much 15-30 minute walk to most things . . . you walk a lot in New Orleans so a few times I took an uber to give my legs a rest. Nonetheless, it's across from a great breakfast restaurant, there's a pub across the street that looked good, but it was closed and just reopened the day I was leaving. Less than 10 minutes to Caesar's Casino, to Canal Street where you can catch the streetcars, to a great Mall on Canal St with Saks as one of its anchor stores, various great restaurants all around, and the start of Bourbon Street/The French Quarter. It's 20-30 minutes to Jackson Square in The French Quarter depending on how fast you walk, a solid 30 minutes to the FABULOUS WWII Museum and probably 20 to the Outlet Mall on the Mississippi River, which is adjacent to the convention center. Also a little 7/11 type store about 5 minutes walk to pick up bottled water, etc. A big surprise was when I asked the desk where there was a laundrymat and they said "on the 6th floor!" Many new washers and dryers and all the detergent, etc. provided. Really a nice perk. Though I didn't have time to use it, the spa area is lovely, with a big exercise room, hot tub and small lap-type swimming pool. Well done! The hotel does NOT have a restaurant, but it's not an issue since there are so many nearby. The property is very well maintained, helpful and hospital personnel - though don't ask for directions, use your GPS. They steered me wrong twice. My 1 bedroom was huge with a king size comfortable bed and pillows, very large living room area that includes a dining table and full kitchenette and is well-equipped. They provide very good coffee to make in the room and also coffee is available in a lovely area on the 2nd floor. Good shower with tub, which I actually appreciate. Really nothing to criticize about the room - and I'm picky - except perhaps for multiple people it would have been better to have a larger vanity and forfeit having room for the luggage carrier in the bathroom, though convenient. If anyone said they were considering this hotel, I'd say "Book it and prepare to be surprised."

“New Orleans stay”

Great location, cleanliness, and friendly staff. Restaurant and local bar across the street. Very close to the French Quarter. Buss stop close by.

“Decent for a time share”

The location is great- 4 blocks from Bourbon Street, no noise. 2 bedroom unit nicely appointed. Only complaint was no cook top in partial kitchen, but they provided us with 2 electric skillets, which worked out ok. Concierge tried 3-4 x to get me to attend a timeshare seminar, but I was able to put… more
