I had the pleasure of staying for a full week in October 2009 at the Avenue Garden with a group of 10 friends on a rebuilding vacation. During that week my friends and I felt so welcome and relaxed due to the hospitality of the owners Lydia and Melissa as well as their staff. The hotel has the feel of... more

My boyfriend and I made our first ever trip to New Orleans this month and absolutely loved every second of being in the city! The Avenue Garden Hotel was very convenient to traversing the city and very much like our home away from home. New Orleans is a fairly walkable city, but I highly recommend taking the trolley that runs... more

Our stay at the Avenue Garden Hotel was perfect! Our room was very nicely decorated, high ceilings, elegant bathroom, comfortable bed; everything you hope for, but don't always find. The location couldn't have been better. The trolley stopped outside, less than half a block away. There were also amazing restaurants within short walking distance. We ate lunch at voodoo barbecue... more

Lydia, Melissa and Charmaine made sure that my stay here was pleasant, comfortable and all that my requirements for a relaxing, holiday were met. My room was large, light and very comfortable. It... more

This hotel was cozy, conveniently located and allowed you to feel as a resident for a stay, instead of just a hotel guest. The private entrances, charming courtyard and extremely friendly staff can't be beat. The trolley car picks you up right in front of the hotel, and is wonderful for heading out into the Garden District to see the... more

I am a college student on a road trip and am used to just those typical Days Inn type places. I chose this hotel for it's (most importantly) rate and lack of bed bug reports, proximity to the French Quarter, and ability to put my car somewhere safe. I am very easy to please- all I really require is a... more
