I've just returned from a visit to New Orleans where I stayed four nights at the Creole Gardens Bed & Breakfast, located very conveniently two blocks down from St Charles Avenue in the Lower Garden District. The Downtown area and the French Quarter lies to the one side, and the Garden District proper on the other, and a 15 to 20 minute walk puts you within easy reach of both. (And if, like me, you are a connoisseur of 19th century architecture, you really won't mind walking! I'm also pleased to report that most of the fabulous buildings in those areas seem to have weathered Katrina with little or no adverse effect.)

Being on a budget, I chose the least expensive option offered, a $99-a-night 'cottage'. This provided a comfortable second floor room with attached bathroom. I had a bed, couch and wardrobe (the latter a bit funky but still serviceable), and a dresser, toliet and shower-bath - in short, all the essentials. Everything worked and the place was clean. I did wonder how that small space would cope with NOLA's notorious summertime heat but there is large fan mounted right over the bed! In November, however, the weather was cool and one night I even needed an additional blanket.

The real glory of the Creole Gardens are the breakfasts, produced by Annie, a warm friendly woman who calls everyone "baby" and who takes a real pride in her cooking. She will cook anything and everything you want to your order, and is genuinally concerned that you walk away well satisfied. If like myself you now live outside the US but still get those terrible unrequited longings for an old fashioned, high carb start to the day, Annie's breakfasts are a Southern-style ultimate. Grits ( a particular favorite of mine which are simply unobtainable in most locations), biscuits, hash browns, hotcakes, eggs, bacon, fruit, coffee and all the rest....yum, yum, yum!

Creole meets Caribbean..gracious and charming rooms
have stayed there 4 times..each room is unique in spirit and decor. Perfectly situated between French quarter and Magazine street. The best of both worlds without the noise and smell of beer. You need not look any farther..

The B&B has a wonderful spirit and the manager makes you feel at home...New Orleans..style
great recommendations. from the local places to the 4 star...just tell him the mood and price point you want and you will be put in the right direction
also the bestnight sleep I had in weeks...great beds

My sister and I visited Creole Gardens in New Orleans 2 weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly, fun,and quite knowledgeable. The recommendations from where to eat to listening to music were incredible. To see such hope from the people around is to truly understand the human condition.

The Inn is a little oassis and has quite a flair. It is very close to Bourbon Street and all the bustle but the right distance away so you can have some quiet. The rooms are wonderful and breakfast homemade. I highly recommend staying at the Creole Gardens.

A friend and I stayed at the Creole Gardens that was recommended to us from a local volunteer group. We loved the place. The staff (they truly are more like family) was fabulous. Annie’s breakfasts kept us going all day. Andy regaled us in great stories that kept us rapt. They have created such a warm and inviting environment. Next time I’m down in New Orleans, I will definitely stay there and recommend others to do so as well.

After checking into another hotel and spending one miserable night (it was a perfectly nice place before Katrina), we went searching for a place to spend the rest of our vacation and found the Creole Gardens. The place accomodated us immediately, offered us a full and amazing breakfast, and put us in really well remodelled rooms. The only downside is that it is a block from St. Charles (instead of on it) and below the Garden District's populated area - so there is really nothing there when you walk out the front door, but a block away is St. Charles. The people were amazing, Annie was a great cook and Uli incredibly helpful to ensure that we had a great time, and to make sure we would come again... which we will! Having lived in New Orleans in the past, and visited many times since moving away, I would stay here again, again and again.
