“Excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

We were the guests of the Jazz Quarters on Nov 17 and 18. When we arrived at the B&B, we were greeted by Vincent and Lola. They were our hosts for two wonderful days. The first thing they did was to set us down with a glass of wine or soft drink and go over what we wanted to do for the next two days. They offered suggestions and recommended some possible sight seeing options.
They gave each of us a half sheet of paper with important info; phone numbers, addresses, cell numbers and anything else they felt we would or could possibly need.
The accomodations were great, clean, quiet, comfortable and impecably clean. The breakfasts were gourmet but not over the top, just very, very tasty.
Vincent and Lola both bent over backward to meet our every wish. As an example, we decided we wanted to do a 'plantation tour'. Vincent made several calls for us, lined up the tours, the transportation and return all according to our travel time-frame. I highly recommend the Jazz Quarters and would definately stay with them again.

Room Tip: The inn was gated, which was an additional security for safety.

“2nd Visit to Jazz Quarters”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

This was our 2nd visit to Jazz Quarters. I think one of the special things we liked, besides such a GREAT location to visit the French Quarter, is the breakfast. If you're expecting bacon, eggs, toast, coffee etc. this is not your place. Expect something you have NEVER eaten and expect it to be great. They will exceeed expectations.
The inclosed gated parking area is also great for folks like us that drive to N.O.

Room Tip: They have several room sizes with multiple baths etc. just ask the innkeeper, I think he really want...

Thank you, Mac1270, for the review and for coming back to stay with us. To Lola and me, there is no better compliment than a guests who returns to The Jazz Quarters. That you are a fellow Louisianan makes it even better.

Kind regards,

“Satchmo Would Love It”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

This was my first (and long-awaited) visit to New Orleans. I'd read so many rave reviews for the Jazz Quarters (and as a jazz maven, just the name was a positive sign) that I had to check it out myself. It's right where you want to be, walking distance from the good stuff. And the the amazing (and totally hip) innkeepers, Vincent and Lola, know where the good stuff is; trust them if your idea of a New Orleans trip is to go where the locals go for music (ask them about Kermit Ruffins) and eating. My suite (Armstrong) was magnificent and spacious, but I could be happy in any of the accommodations. Last but anything but least, breakfasts. If you don't love breakfast at this place, you've got a hole in your soul. Breakfast couscous! Lola gave me a portion to take back to L.A. My wife flipped. Got the recipe and it'll be on our Thanksgiving table.
There's no other place to stay in NOLA. Period.
Will be back next year for our anniversary fo' sho'!
Laissez les bontemps rouler!

“Will never try another B&B in New Orleans”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Hats offf to Vincent & Lola. Somehow these inn keepers allow you to feel you have know each other your whole life. The comfort level is beyond compare. They take pride in their profession, and it shows in every aspect of the running of their B&B. You won't find any run of the mill egg bakes for breakfast, and they know you can't boil water in a microwave for tea drinkers! The breakfast areas encourage conversations, and the patio and gardens are extremely welcoming. The location was perfect and secure. We easily walked to everything in the French Quarter. There was parking available, which we did not need. Our room was impeccably clean, and I'm fussy about that. When I return to NOLA, I will not even look for another B&B. The sense of familiarity, security, and attention to detail has made Jazz Quarters where I choose to lay my hat.

“Exceeded Expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

What a gorgeous courtyard property. The convenience of the location was excellent, the staff was gracious and welcoming and the breakfasts were to die for. The Jazz Quarters came highly recommended by a close friend and they exceeded all of our expectations.

Thank you, Gary and Anna, for your review.

When the Wisconsin winter drives the thermometer way down, you have a good excuse to come to New Orleans again and enjoy our balmy winter.
