Royal Palms Motel & RV Park

Eight miles of Chef Menteur Highway separate this two-star motel and RV park from downtown New Orleans, putting it closer to Lake Pontchartrain's eastern shore than the French Quarter — a practical stop for road-trippers and drivers needing secure overnight parking rather than a Bourbon Street base.

Rooms keep it simple: air conditioning, cable TV, and private bathrooms with tub-or-shower combos. RV hookups sit alongside standard motel units, with 24-hour security and CCTV covering the lot.

A vending machine and on-site laundry cover basics; the front desk operates around the clock for late arrivals off the highway.
