Located in the upscale Lower Garden District of New Orleans, the Fairchild House B & B is a 3-star hotel offering elegant guest rooms in a Greek Revival-style house dating from 1841. Rooms are decorated in Victorian style and feature en suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, cable TV and coffeemakers. Some rooms also have hardwood floors and/or four-poster beds. A suite is also available, with a living room, mini-fridge and private balcony. Continental breakfast is included and is served in a cosy dining room. The hotel also features a lounge, garden, courtyard and free parking. Pets are not allowed, and smoking is permitted on porches, balconies and in the courtyard. Check-in times are from 2pm to 10pm, but arrangements can be made for arrivals outside these times.
When I booked a “bed and breakfast”, I expected a comfortable bed and an impressive breakfast; I got neither. The bed was so hard that neither of us got a good nights sleep. And the breakfast during the week is “not hot” meaning cereal, yogurt, fruit, boiled eggs. On the weekend it wasn’t much better. We ate breakfast elsewhere or just skipped it.
Nice location and we felt safe the entire time. Nice and quiet. Staff was friendly and attentive. Fenced in parking was nice. Lots of restaurants with in walking distance. Recommend Uber to go east into the city. Lots of questionable characters live under the bridge just east of here. The trolley gets crowded quick; coming back on the trolley you had to get on at the first stop on Canal St.
