Royal Inn Of New Orleans

Two miles east of the Industrial Canal, Royal Inn Of New Orleans sits on Chef Menteur Highway in New Orleans East, a straightforward one-star stop for drivers passing through on Route 90 rather than tourists working the French Quarter roughly nine miles west.

Rooms keep it basic: microwave, refrigerator, cable TV, and private bathroom with tub or shower, all behind key-card entry and CCTV coverage. A vending setup covers snacks and drinks when the front desk, staffed around the clock, is the only other option nearby.

Parking is on site, useful given the highway location and limited walkable amenities.
