“Just Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011

My daughter and I stayed here while moving her in to Tulane. The house is from the 1850's and is an absolute museum. You can spend hours looking at everything they have. The staircase is absolutely gorgeous! Our room was on the second floor. It was large, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was clean with an attached bathroom that was set up very nice. It is done in a shabby sheik design, staying with the antiqueness of the house. The beds were comfortable and there were extra blankets and pillows if needed. We were greeted by Randy who owns the house. He is very gracious and full of stories. He has owned the house for about 28 years and done a nice job with it. Cary is the manager and all around great guy. He does it all....maid, cook, butler....You name it, he's it.
The price was awesome, since we were on a tight budget. Very convenient to everything and only 1 block away from the trolly. Fabulous restaurant also up the street with amazing food. We took the trolly to the school all the way back to the quarter....super easy. I was able to park the car right in front of the house without incident.
It was just a wonderful experience and time. I am actually sending my children there to visit their sister next month and they are staying there. It's safe, clean, friendly! YOu couldn't ask for more. Thanks guys!

“Will not stay again - very disappointed!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

During our first night of stay, our vehicle was towed from the driveway of the B&B. When recovering our vehicle from the city impound lot, the Sheriff's Deputy advised us that the city parking enforcement will not tow from a residence unless it is called in by someone at the residence. When we addressed this issue with the B&B owner, Randal, he assumed no responsibility for the matter. We tried to work with the owner to resolve the issue but he maintained his exemption, saying it was not his problem. It is unacceptable to have your vehicle called in to be towed from the hotel/motel/B&B which you are patronizing. The management at this establishment had absolutely no concern for taking care of their paying guests. Additionally, while discussing this issue over the phone, he became extremely unprofessional, resorting to profane language and name calling and then hung up on me.

Unrelated but relevant to anyone considering staying here: although charming and beautiful, the place was not well kept. It had dirty floors, only the guest rooms were air conditioned (common areas were very uncomfortable in the summer heat), there were live wires hanging out of the wall in the common kitchenette area...the list could go on.

I would sincerely advise against patronizing this business. It is the most disappointing stay we have ever had and we have stayed on countless B&B's across the US.

Randal Griest, Owner at Annabelle's House B&B, responded to this review
28 June 2011
On the first night of this guest's stay with us, an unfortunate event occurred. we only learned about it around noon the next day. What had happened was that while everyone in the house was asleep, his totally illegally parked car in the street had been towed. We advise all of our guests that have a car to park on the street that parking across driveway entrances is a highly towable offense and that what happens beyond my gate is beyond my control. At that time I wrote the following text message to the guest. "sir, i hope that you will finish your stay with us. it is my understanding that there is no complaint about your accomodations and hospitality which you have received here. (his wife had just confirmed this statement in person on the front porch). we look forward to serving you and will do whatever is in our power to make your remaining stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. i apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused you. regardless, i hope you will enjoy the rest of your time in new orleans. yours truly, Randal." The guest did indeed finish their stay with us never once confronted us with any problems regarding their comfort and hospitality which they had received. If the reader would like to know the truth about Annabelle's House, please check out our many positive reviews on other websites or contact us personally at 504-250-1862. the comfort and well being of our guest is our highest priority.

“ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

The place was very overpriced. My room was totally filthy. The floors hadn't been vacuumed, and the room smelled awful. There isn't even a tv in the rooms. I saw bugs crawling in the very small tub. Wood was rotten around all the doors and window seals. The door to the room wouldn't even lock from the outside, wo when you left, all your belongings were fair game to any and everyone. I do not recommend this place at all. It was by far the worst place I have ever stayed. There is a reason that they don't have any photos on the website.

“I have stayed there many times...loved it especially the common room and the location..quiet and right on the street car line”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2003

Loved the house and the neighborhood(stayed there 3 times). Perfect for those who want to do the French Quarter but don't want to be in it. The cost is great...walking distance to the Columns( great bar and breakfast place and walking distance to everything you need(restaurants and drug stores..great churches in the neighborhood) and on the street car line. Common living room so, you get to meet everyone and if youare the only one there theychange the rules(move breakfast to a later time) ask for a featherbed! friends moved from the quarter to be with us and were glad to pay 1/3 of the price for a place quiet enough to sleep in.
If you are too tired to find the street car it is only a $5 cab ride home. the staff is great.. even an apartment is available. Real New Orleans feeling!
