Creole Gardens is our second home in the city of our hearts, New Orleans. My *new* husband and I eloped to NOLA Easter weekend and had the most magical time. From staying at Creole, where everyone is kind and helpful, to getting married on the Square, it was a weekend we will never forget. Creole was a great choice as a home base for our eloping adventure! Room #3 in the Mansion was as romantic as it could be. High ceilings, gorgeous antiques, lovely sunlight streaming through the windows and a little porch with a cafe table overlooking the lush, colorful courtyard. The bed was comfy and the water pressure (one of my "things") in the shower was fantastic! Creole Gardens is a true piece of New Orleans, colorful, unique, generous in spirit and a place we will certainly return to again and again. The location was perfect for us—close enough to the Quarter, the Garden District and Magazine street to make sightseeing and shopping a breeze. And we cannot forget the wonderful hospitality of Annie, the breakfast magician! My *new* husband is addicted to her homemade Cajun sausage and I personally am going to try to recreate her grits the next time I get a chance. The breakfast room is beautiful and a great place for a quiet bite, or a place to meet fellow travelers. If you are looking for some cookie-cutter, impersonal hotel experience, this is not the place for you—if you are looking to make connections with people and stay in a beautiful home, this is the place! We love it and miss it ... boo hoo.

I stayed at Creole Gardens this week and wanted to let everyone know how great the staff are here! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts (cooked to order by Annie) are excellent - certainly a great start to the day :) Each room here has its own character, but is decorated in a very cute New Orleans style. Worth a visit!

Creole Gardens is by far the warmest, most magical experience that I have ever had in any hotel or bed and breakfast!!! Creole Gardens is cozy, beautiful and carries an air air of charm and mystery that you can only find in New Orleans! My friends and I visited for Mardi Gras and we literally had a lush haven away from the Bourbon street mess. We could walk two blocks from the bed and breakfast and watch all the spectacular parades with all the locals families, dancing, drinking and enjoying the celebration. Afterwards we came back and relaxed underneath the palms in the courtyard, beautiful and soothing! The breakfast was delicious!!! Amazing southern food, the cook is out of this world!! The rooms are stunningly exotic, comfy and charming. We stayed in the Bordello, which had red walls, lace curtains, perfect for an evening of romance! The staff was so friendly that I did not want to leave. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else!!!

So much fun to stay at the Creole Gardens. Rooms are clean, breakfast is yummy and served to order. Comfy patio area to hang out and meet new friends. When I go back to New Orleans I will stay there again. Thanks for everything
