New Orleans Hotel Questions

[JustLikeHeave80]

Flying to NOLA the day before our Carnival cruise and looking for Hotel recommendations that are near the AIRPORT and possibly in walking distance to a store where I could purchase wine/champagne and soda! Staying in the Quarter is not an option, Jazz fest going on when we fly in and hotels are outrageous!! 

 

Also, staying a night in NOLA after the cruise, booked a room at the Astor Crowne Plaza on Canal and Bourbon. Anyone know if this hotel is in walking distance from the cruise terminal?? I'm fine trekking a ways but I will have my 3 year old terrorist and luggage to handle. 

 

Thank you! 🙂

I will have to leave the airport hotel discussion to others (I have never stayed out there), but I would not consider the Crown Plaza waking distance from the port. It is, however, a short cab ride. Cabs are in abundance in front of the port during disembarkation.
