Would it be possible to get some motel-hotel help please?

Wyndham at Canal Place would probably be a place you would like. It's also very close to the casino.

I would also second that, Wyndam at canal place is the best, on canal in front of the french quarter and Harrahs casino in front, beside the aquarium of america and walking distance to great food, it's a good walk to the dome, I suggest a car, although my wife was shopping once and left me and I walked back, so it can be done. room service steak was awesome lobby is on the 11th floor above the parking garage and mall
