First and foremost you must realize that Fairchild House is not going to provide you with a grand, supernatural B&B experience. It's a simple place run by a caring mother and her daughter. So, if you want a regal B&B experience you will need to look elsewhere. However, if you are a traveler who prefers to be in an unpretentious... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Fairchild House and it was everything we expected. We normally stay in the Quarter or CBD along Canal and wanted to try something different this year. If you're expecting a perfect cookie cutter room with 24 hour service - stay in a hotel. If you want character, give Fairchild House a chance. If you'll... More

This is definitely not a posh bed and breakfast, more like a boardinghouse feel. The bed linens were very worn (holes in the bedskirt and pilly bedspread), the pillows were super thin, and the "king-sized" bed (the reason we chose this B&B) was actually two very different height twin beds pushed together. But for the price, it was actually fine.... More

I stayed here just this past weekend for Mardi Gras. This was my first Mardi Gras experience and the original plan was to meet friends from Houston, although I knew I would arrive first. I came down from Virginia and drove through the night, arriving in New Orleans somewhere around 11:30. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to check... More

The quality of a bed and breakfast is greatly enhanced by on-site hosts and interaction with them and guests no matter what the facilities are like. At the Fairchild, I felt like I was in a laissez-faire affair akin to the pre-Katrina attitude of most waitstaff in New Orleans. OK, I had a Groupon, but doesn't that mean they want... More

My wife and I stayed at this B&B for two nights in late January 2012. The house was built between 1841 and 1860 and as such doesn't have much, if any, insulation. Since it is the winter and temperatures do drop into the 30's and 40's in New Orleans, it was cold at night. Our two room suite had an... More

This was the worst B&B we have ever stayed in. "It" is, actually, three buildings. There is not a sign on a building so we had to watch for the address number. We rang the bell at the front gate, and a young lady came out. She took us to the middle building, unlocked the door, and took us in... More

I'm honestly shocked at the good reviews below. The room was tiny, old (I know it's supposed to be that way..but not remodeled at all), and COLD! Honestly it's a great place for a photographer to do a session or a history buff..but not anyone that wants a nice room. It was like we were staying at our great grandmothers... More

The Fairchild House is a great old house that reminds me of visiting old friends for a couple of days. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and cozy. It isn't far from the streetcar line and the location is perfect for going anywhere in New Orleans. You won't need a car at all. This would be a... More
