“Value and location with lots of personality”

This charming B&B is located on the border of the French Quarter and the Garden District, right off the St. Charles street car line--just a short trolley ride into the French Quarter and an even shorter ride into the heart of the Garden District. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance (including an excellent BBQ joint and one of Emeril's restaurants), if you're too hungry or lazy to brave the public transit system.

We stayed in a 'bordello' room, complete with lace curtains around the bed (and complimentary Mardi Gras beads on the pillows). It was a bit chilly at times (not unexpected in January), but the space heater eventually made things more comfortable, and the bed was plenty warm. The bathroom was huge, and while there was no tub, there was great water pressure in the shower (and plenty of hot water to shake off those winter chills).

Breakfast--bacon, eggs, and grits/banana pancakes, depending on the day--was excellent, and eating at the B&B saved us that much more money--and it was already significantly cheaper than the hotels we were considering. All in all, it was a very cost-effective and convenient way to see the Big Easy, and we had a great time.

Room Tip: The Willie K 'bordello' room is lovely (though chilly in the winter)--but the windows open r...

“Excellent place to stay and enjoy NOLA!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We absolutely loved Creole Gardens! Great location, beautiful rooms, friendly staff, and pet-friendly, too. You can walk one block to St Charles and enjoy the great restaurants and bars -- or take the streetcar to downtown or the French Quarter. There's a beautiful park a few blocks away to walk your dog (or yourself). Magazine St has amazing one-of-a-kind shops, cafes and restaurants. Creole Gardens is close to everything, but far enough away from the hullabaloo in the French Quarter to make you feel like you are living in New Orleans for a few days, rather than just being a tourist. We couldn't ask for more.

“Nice place to stay in New Orleans, a little outside the FQ”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I was meeting up with a friend who was driving in separately. The price at the time was comperable to cheap hotels in the French Quarter but didn't have the high parking fee in the french quarter. The location isn't directly in the FQ but then again its not inconvenient either. Since its between the garden district and the FQ and not far from Magazine, it works out nicely and we walked to both places with no problems (and it was only a $12 cab ride home at night). The room was cute and clean.

Our only complaints was that they didn't service the room on the one day we were there and there was a light outside the window to the room which kept things a little brighter than preferable. We definitely had a great time there even though we didn't spend that much time in the hotel proper.

“Charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

Creole Gardens is wonderfully charming and a great way to experience New Orleans. The rooms are lovely, spacious, comfortable, and delightfully down-to-earth (high-maintenance travelers should not expect the Four Seasons). The courtyard is beautiful and quirky. The breakfast is delicious, and feels almost as though it were being enjoyed in your own home. The staff is uniformly friendly and seems genuinely dedicated both to your comfort, and to having you enjoy New Orleans as much as they clearly do.

Room Tip: Room 12 in the main house was fantastic.

“Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

This was my first time at a Bed & Breakfast, an overall wasn't bad!! I stayed with my sister (for her bachelorette party) and her friends; and we fit comfortably 2-3 people per room. Each room had it's own theme and was pretty cool. Was kinda spooked because I was told it was haunted, but I didn't see anything. Staff is very nice!! They make an awesome breakfast!!!
