Location was fabulous... walking distance to WW2 museum and 3 blocks from street car which is so convenient.

Will be back to New Orleans!

Great location! Very friendly, knowledgeable and kind staff. Breakfast very nice options. Room large and comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

Love the surrounding atmosphere great places to go and eat drink music. Not to far from my family’s home, probably could have bigger TV’s could barley watch them. All in all great place!!!

NOLA visit for Super Bowl

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our hosts Beatrice and Darrell and the location was perfect for easy access to the French Quarter and downtown. The beds were a little tired but we otherwise all was wonderful. Thanks for a great stay!!

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Merina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Don't expect the frills of a hotel when you stay here, but the room was comfy and clean, the breakfast was satisfying, and it's in a good location.

Always enjoy our time at the Fairchild House. Staff is always accommodating with free parking and breakfast.
John, 1-night trip

Loved the charm and uniqueness of the bed & breakfast. Property owners took the time to get to know us and help us in any way they could. Most convenient location to amazing food, historic homes, museums, coffee, transportation options, parks, the list goes on. Would definitely recommend!

Khadijah, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

Had a few issues w/ our twin bedroom, but the clerk called the owner and got us moved into another room. Continental breakfast was sufficient and fresh. Super kind breakfast hostess.

Highly recommended! The owner is kind and friendly, breakfast is excellent ( I had to leave early to attend the conference everyday, so that they kindly opened earlier than usual while I stayed.)
