A charming property in a beautiful neighborhood. The staff was thoughtful and accommodating. When my flight was delayed they kept the office open to help me settle upon arrival and they worked with my schedule for breakfast, local recommendations, and departure time. The building is beautiful, classic New Orleans style and a very interesting place to stay. The room was comfortable and felt safe and private. Stay at Fairchild house - you won't be disappointed!

I used to really like staying here but it has really fallen in my estimation. The mattress was really hard and the pillows were really done. The staff is nice but a lot better value for the money can be had elsewhere.

Excellent location, especially after receiving all the transportation tips at check in. Darrell was very thorough at check in. Breakfast was not overwhelming with options (understandable considering the number of units involved) but everything served was of very good quality.

I would never recommend that anyone stay at this bed and breakfast. Run - don’t walk - away!! The hotel is in complete disrepair, the grounds are a mess (don’t believe the photos online), the walls are covered with marks and dirt… Had three nights reserved and only stayed the first night because we could not find any other vacancy for that evening. Do NOT stay here - the state of this place is shameful.

Anthony

It's an old house with small bedrooms but that's to be expected. The bathroom was nice. There could have been more attention given to the wooden surfaces such as the staircase; needed a refinish. The courtyard was covered in leaves that could have been weeks since last swept. The location is very convenient for public transport and food options. The breakfast was underwhelming. Just fruit, cereal, boiled egg, and cold cuts. The only things hot were the coffee and the bread or english muffin you could toast. Nice people. Would stay again if they came down about $25 on the price I paid.

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.

This is my second time staying st the Fairchild house. The place is very cosy, it has a feeling of home. Quiet neighborhood. Daryl who checked us in was very knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was light but sufficient enough to start your day. Grits with shrimp and sausage was amazing. The only caveat is that each room has window A/C unit so if you are a light sleeper it might be an issue otherwise its a great place to stay. We will be back

We loved our stay at the Fairchild Inn. Having free parking in the back was a huge perk and the breakfast was amazing. Staff is top tier! After breakfast, they left the breakfast area open that I could get work done and are so personable. The rooms were older but a great place to sleep. The window AC was so cold and kept up really well for the summer weather! Located a block away from the trolley stop, in a relatively quiet neighborhood. I don’t see us ever staying anywhere else in New Orleans.
