“Love this hotel- great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

What a pretty and inexpensive place to stay in NOLA. The cons: nice hotel, very pretty and well maintained; however, like most places in NOLA the house is old so you will have some creaky and uneven floors, a bit of an older look, and maybe not all the super modern conveniences. If that is important to you, then go stay at the Marriott. If you are looking for a cross between a b&B and a hotel, then this is for you. The MAJOR disadvantage to this hotel is that they often want a non-refundable 100% deposit when you book- so you need to be sure your trip is on and that this is where you want to stay. The breakfast is bread/continental only. The pros: Excellent value, with a lot of good restaurants around. It is right on St. Charles close to downtown- in between the Garden District and downtown. The streetcar does run right in front of it, though it is closed through there for repairs. This is a great place to stay for Loyola or Tulane parents- just save a room for me! I have stayed here three times and did have some noise from trash collection the first time, but the other two times were fine and one night we slept with our balcony door open, facing St. Charles, and it was not noisy.

Room Tip: Make sure that this is where you want to stay and that your trip is definitely on-they will want ful...

“Good Value for NOLA, but Overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

We paid $119/night for a small room, which is not bad for NOLA. However, the room was not clean, the bed was not too comfy, it was loud nightly until 4 a.m. I wish we would have paid a little more to stay somewhere else.

I wanted to be on the St Charles Streetcar line between the quarter & garden district.... unfortunately the street car is under construction. We were not told that before booking. The hotels website fails to mention this as well.

Or, if the hotel would clean the carpets, paint, clean mildew off showers/curtains, and otherwise clean the place up a little, it could be a nice place. It is not currently worth what we paid.

Room Tip: Ask for quite room & make sure the streetcar is running.

“Garden Avenue Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

The Garden Avenue Hotel feels like you are visiting a relative without the awkward dinner conversation. It is older and has some wear but my daughter and I felt very safe and comfortable staying there during our weekend trip to New Orleans. The staff is friendly and very helpful with suggestions for self guided tours etc. We will stay again.

Room Tip: We stayed in an upstairs room and it was very quiet except when the garbage trucks empty the dumpste...

“Outstanding Deal!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012

Not exactly a Bed and Breakfast, but not quite a Boutique Hotel..... Somewhere in between. I will say this..... For the price, the location, and helpfullness of the staff......... YOU CAN'T FIND A BETTER DEAL!!!! The staff are SO NICE and sweet. They gave us restaurant recommendations, ideas for what to do, and even offered to setup any tours we would like to have taken!!! I just can't say enough about the staff. This is not a large hotel, but a nice, quaint place to stay while staying in New Orleans. My wife and I loved it,.... we will be back. That's a promise.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

I stayed here in early April with my parents. From arrival to departure the owner was very helpful. From recommending places to eat to sites to see. The rooms were very clean and we loved the enclosed patio garden. I intend to return to New Orleans and will book to stay here again. I have already recommended this hotel to my friends. Thanks to everyone at Avenue garden.
