Best part was the staff. They were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good. The property is pretty run down with random furniture in the rooms and window unit ACs.

An excellent option if you're looking to stay in a New Orleans-style house instead of a hotel, a block away from streetcar line and close enough to downtown. Breakfast is good and employees are nice.

If you’re looking for a bougie place, keep looking. This place is authentic old Nola. Very eclectic, unique and a little spooky. We were quite surprised by the breakfast! Miss Kathy served us homemade cheese and spinach soufflé with sausage. Great conversation as well! We will definitely be making this a regular stay!

Let’s stay at Fairchild House again
Breakfast exceeded my expectations. Prepared and ready ahead of time. Plenty of space and no rush. Darrel checked us in and thoroughly explained and showed us the area. When free street parking was filled nearby we parked in their lockable solid metal paneled gates to the parking area directly behind their units.
