Twelfth, just ahead of the Drury on parking price. Breakfast is free, there's a rooftop pool and a lobby bar, and self-parking is $30 a night.
That $30 is the lowest nightly guest parking of any downtown hotel in our top 20. It still doesn't cover your nights at sea.
It's steps from the French Quarter and a short cab to the terminals.
Good value for a flyer. Drivers should compare it with the port's garage.
Book it if
- Budget-minded flyers who want breakfast and a pool
- Anyone who wants the French Quarter on foot
- Drivers staying one night before parking at the port
Look elsewhere if
- You need the car parked while you sail.
- You want to walk to the ship.

$120–$350 by cruise lengthThe port runs two garages and charges by cruise length, not by the day: $120 for a 4-night cruise, $135 for 5, $160 for 6, $180 for 7, $200 for 8 and $350 for 14. Carnival parks in the Erato Street garage, on top of its terminal; Norwegian and Royal Caribbean at 100 Poydras, with a shuttle to Julia Street, which publishes only the 4-, 5- and 7-night rates.
Both open at 9 AM and take cards only. Reserving adds $1 a day; driving up doesn’t. The port’s FAQ still quotes $25 a day, which matches only its 8- and 14-night rates. Compare every parking option.
