i looked for a place to stay that was affordable and had some character so it didnt seem like anytown, usa. i was excited to find this place which provided great rates for jazzfest weekend and also offered a daily hot southern breakfast! signed, sealed, delivered. when i got there, it was even better than expected. the staff is SO friendly and helpful, the courtyard with fountain is so great to relax in at any time of day or night, the rooms were simple but sufficient. i hated leaving this place after four days because i began to feel like i lived there. so comfortable, great location (i walked to the quarter daily and loved being in the garden district with beautiful houses and lots of trees, good restaurants nearby), great vibe. i cant say enough good things. thanks, creole gardens, for such a great time in nola!
