18+ hotels in Louisiana
Booking a room in Louisiana at 18 gets complicated when a hotel sets its minimum age at 21, since staff can refuse the room at the front desk even after the reservation goes through. The city covered here does have hotels that accept 18-year-old guests, so start with that city and confirm the age policy with your chosen hotel before you travel.

New Orleans
I-12 travel makes the hotel a separate city stop
Interstate 12 runs north of New Orleans as a bypass to Interstate 10, while Interstate 10 passes through New Orleans. A drive that stays on I-12 does not enter New Orleans.
Staying on I-12 bypasses New Orleans, so a traveler who chooses a New Orleans hotel must plan it as a separate city stop rather than an on-route overnight. The property is part of the time spent in New Orleans, not a place to break the drive along I-12.
With a Port NOLA sailing booked, the stay is a destination
If a Port NOLA sailing is already part of the itinerary, the cruise portion of the trip is fixed in New Orleans before the traveler chooses a hotel stay. The Port of New Orleans operates the Erato Street and Julia Street cruise terminals there, with Julia Street next door to Erato Street.
Even when the road itinerary otherwise stays on I-12, that existing sailing is what makes the New Orleans night a deliberate pre-sailing or post-sailing destination stay rather than an on-route overnight. The step that follows is choosing a property that accepts guests at 18 and confirming that policy with the hotel directly.
