Plaza Suites II

The Resort & Its Setting

Plaza Suites II is a privately run, independent timeshare property in Metairie — a suburban community right on the doorstep of New Orleans. Unlike resorts tied to a large hotel brand, Plaza Suites II is managed on its own terms, which typically means a smaller, more personal operation where staff know the owners and returning guests. Its RCI affiliation is the main practical benefit: it links an otherwise local, independent property into a global exchange system, so a week here can be traded for a stay at thousands of other RCI resorts if an owner chooses not to use it in Metairie.

The Area & Things to Do

Metairie's draw is its location. Downtown New Orleans and the French Quarter are roughly 11 km (7 miles) away, putting Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and the city's famed restaurant scene within easy reach. City Park, one of the largest urban parks in the US and home to the New Orleans Museum of Art, is about 14 km away, and the Audubon Zoo sits around 13 km away for a day spent with native Louisiana species and animals from further afield. Closer still, the Lakefront along Lake Pontchartrain (about 8 km) is a good spot for a walk or a casual meal with water views. Further out, Oak Alley Plantation, roughly 48 km away, offers a glimpse of Louisiana's antebellum history and its famous oak-lined drive. Mardi Gras and the city's many festivals throughout the year bring the biggest crowds — and the liveliest atmosphere — to the region.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Plaza Suites II and are ready to move on, resale at an independent resort like this one is normally handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded resale programme. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee stands at, since these figures aren't fixed centrally and can change. A resale buyer should also ask exactly what transfers with the ownership — for instance, whether any banked RCI points or deposits carry over, or whether exchange credit starts fresh.

Listing through BidMyTimeshare.com keeps the process owner-to-owner: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. We charge a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission on the sale, so no cut is taken from whatever price you agree with a buyer.

What Renters Look For

Renters considering a week at Plaza Suites II are typically after an affordable, no-frills base for a New Orleans trip — easy highway access, a kitchen for cutting down on restaurant costs, and proximity to the Quarter without paying downtown hotel rates. Being upfront in a listing about unit size, sleeping capacity and which time of year is on offer (festival season versus quieter months) helps set the right expectations.

Practical Notes

Spring and autumn bring the most comfortable weather for sightseeing, while summers are hot and humid and winters stay mild. A rental car is worth having, since Metairie is suburban and most of New Orleans' attractions are a short drive rather than a walk away. If you're exchanging your week through RCI, requesting exchanges well ahead of your preferred dates gives you the best shot at popular destinations, particularly around Mardi Gras and major festival weekends when demand for accommodation in the area runs high.
