It's a smallish place, comprising a couple of buildings, plus a pool (that we didn't use, but it looked nice). Very comfortable, very welcoming. Great rooms. Ours had a bathroom across the hall where there were two other rooms, but we weren't sharing it with them and it was fine. We got the feeling it's a place that hosts regulars... More 

Loved staying with Ed. The room was smallish, but very nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in. About 10 blocks from the French Quarter, it was quiet and very pleasant. Nice self serve breakfast set up, in the main house. Beautifully landscaped backyard with crystal clean pool and hot tub....

This place was very relaxing and offered nice rooms with a nice breakfast in the morning and a great host. The host was very helpful and so were the staff and it made for a very nice stay on New Orleans. The pool was nice and in a great spot out the back. It felt like you were at a... More 

I arrived during 4th of July weekend and the Essence Festival. It was the cheapest (still $165 a night) and closest spot to the French Quarter that I could find. It was a pleasant surprise. I was greeted at my car and helped with my bags. I was given an upgraded room in the guest house with better access to... More 

When we first walked up to the Lions Inn, we encountered two women who had just checked out. "Have you seen the garden yet?" they asked. "It's paradise." We rang the bell. Ed, the charming, low-key owner, showed us to our room, right off the garden with its lush foliage, palm trees, koi pond, hot tub, and a lovely swimming... More 

This is the third time I have stayed at Lions Inn. Ed and the staff always make me feel welcomed. Ed and staff do a great job of keeping the place clean and inviting. The breakfast in the morning is always ample. The pool area is like a tranquil tropical oasis after a busy day of touring around the magical... More 

I cannot say enough good things about the Lions Inn. First of all, the website photos do not do it justice. From the quaint rooms, to the beautiful pool, I can’t express how lovely the whole place is. The innkeeper, Ed, has got to be one of the kindest men I’ve ever met. In dealing with his replacement (whose name... More 

Love this place. They used to only book by word of mouth. I'm not saying much...I want to keep it secret. It is intimate and quiet...you won't feel comfortable with kids and frankly you may offend people. It is relaxed with a very local feel. There is the BEST breakfast at the bakery nearby. Get the boudin and eggs. They... More 

This place is just about six blocks away from Jackson Square but it is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Our room was beautiful and comfortable and we didn't hear any traffic from the street. Around back the courtyard opens onto a sparkling pools with a heavily landscaped back yard. This was so perfect we didn't want to leave. And the... More
