fiftyguy Posted May 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm cruising out of NO next spring and I'm new to the NO port area. Can I get hotel recommendations for a good, safe hotel near the port? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted May 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Look for something in the Convention Center area. Embassy Suites comes to mind - we just stayed there for a good rate, but I understand it is normally much pricier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted May 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Convention Center area or the bottom of Canal Street are both good. They can be expensive, but every year we shop around and get one of the major hotels chains for around $100 or so. Doubletree, Marriott, Hilton and many others can be had for a reasonable price if you ship around. Book early and be aware of what events are in town.

fiftyguy Posted May 18, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Thank you both for your help. Rvsullivan thanks for the tips about events happening around NO. I discovered this as I checked hotels. I decided on Hyatt Place which appears to be close to the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklovin38 Posted May 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2014 We just booked the Hampton Inn and Suites at the Convention Center. It appears to be a decent place. It's near the port, Fulton Street Parking Garage and a The Riverwalk.

Cheetah474 Posted May 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2014 We've stayed at the Drury Inn on Poydras and have been pretty happy with it. We're planning on staying there again in August when we travel out of NOLA. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you satisfied with their happy hour and breakfast at the hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
