Couldn’t Lock My Door, Issue Never Addressed

It would have been a great stay had it not been for a small incident and the way it was handled. I stayed in room 2 and got locked out. The key was stuck in the door and would not turn. I let the inkkeeper know. She sent the housekeeper to help. She could not turn the key either. The innkeeper then tried. Same result. She called another gentleman to also try. I assumed he had some sort of tool to get in. But he also only tried to simply turn the key. By this time, it's been 40 minutes and I was late for an event that was very important to me. Eventually, the door opened. I had to leave my room unlocked for the duration of my stay. I felt very unsafe leaving my belongings as some guest do not obey the rules of locking the gate and house entrance. The issue was never resolved nor was a locksmith ever called at any point even though I explained that I needed to leave as soon as possible when I first brought the matter to the attention of the innkeeper. The website lists off-street parking. When I arrived I drove around looking for it but could not find it so I called and was told I needed to park on the street. Minutes later, when I checked in I was told by the same person that I could park in the back. I had had a 13 hour drive and did not want to deal with it at that point so just stayed in the spot a few blocks down. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The innkeeper was accommodating to let me know when she'd start brewing coffee since there wasn't coffee in the room.

We made the reservatiin expecting to be in the house pictured for the property. Not to be. Instead we were placed in a third building which was apparently an old business. The room we had was right by the street and road noise was evident all night long. From previous B&B experiences, breakfast would include a nice casserole or made to order. This was more like what you'd get at a Super 8 motel. Disapponting. On the plus side it is close to eating options and a nice park to walk and sit in.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! Darryl was very friendly and informative when checking us in and throughout our stay. The breakfast included a mystery main (made to order crepes and quiche during our stay), assorted breads, cereals, lemon loaf, and some meats and cheeses as well as coffee, juice, and tea. All of which was very good! Beatrix and Kathy were both super pleasant and made delicious food. The location was great as it was just a trolley ride to canal and bourbon, the museums, and a walk away from the shops and restaurants in garden. The houses were all older and charming. Of course with that being said, they are also less nice than staying at a newer hotel. For me, I loved the architecture and design the Fairchild offered and that was a huge plus for staying in NOLA. Especially for the price point. We would and will stay here again!

Was a very easy and nice place to stay just outside the touristy hotspots. The trolly takes you right into French Quarter and it takes about ~10m. The breakfast was great, convenient and cutely done. The owner is really friendly and helped us orientate us to the city. There is on site parking but I would have felt safe parking on the street. I would love to stay if I visit that part of the states again.

Interaction with personnel offered something above and beyond. Facilities were below standard with makeshift efforts. Value question depends on what the comparison is. For my wallet the price was expensive for what the below standard element. If compared to NOLA hotel prices - well, that's the only way this was an cost effective place to stay.

What a disappointment considering reviews online. Properties are old and dilapidated and smell when you get inside. Room was drab although bed was comfortable and sheets and towels were clean. Small toilets squeezed into a small bathroom. Gatekeeper was cordial but talked to us as if we were 3rd graders. One bright side was the breakfast! Beautiful fresh fruit, cereals, sliced ham and good cheddar cheese and much more.

I love staying in the Garden District, where you can use the streetcars and don't need a rental car. The location is excellent; the staff is friendly to a fault; the breakfast each morning is outstanding. Know in advance, it's an old, historic building. (That's what I like about it.) But, it's not a Holiday Inn. If that's what you prefer, stay there instead... but you're missing out on an authentic New Orleans experience.

Great location to base your New Orleans trip!

We would definitely stay here again. The location is very convenient for access to what you want to see in New Orleans. The site has free parking. There are several restaurants in walking distance and the stop for the cable car to Canal and Bourbon down St Charles is nearby. The host welcomes everyone with genuine hospitality. The breakfast area is nice and we spent the mornings meeting some of the other guests from around the country. The breakfast selections are nice. The property and three buildings are from the 1800’s so this isn’t a shiny new Hampton Inn. But the property is in very good shape. Our room was quiet, access in and out was easy with a gate key and room key. The host contacted us to be sure someone was there to meet us on our arrival.
