The quality of a bed and breakfast is greatly enhanced by on-site hosts and interaction with them and guests no matter what the facilities are like. At the Fairchild, I felt like I was in a laissez-faire affair akin to the pre-Katrina attitude of most waitstaff in New Orleans. OK, I had a Groupon, but doesn't that mean they want...

Sorry to hear you had so much trouble finding us. I have added a note on the directions page on our site for guests to be on the lookout for the number on the house and not the name. I hope this helps.
The gate is locked for security reasons.
Rebecca was there waiting for you and there was a...

My wife and I stayed at this B&B for two nights in late January 2012. The house was built between 1841 and 1860 and as such doesn't have much, if any, insulation. Since it is the winter and temperatures do drop into the 30's and 40's in New Orleans, it was cold at night. Our two room suite had an...

Thank you for the time to review the Fairchild House. It was quite cold when you were here! I went to check on that heater in the parlor and see what you mean about it not being able to keep the room warm. I replaced it with a new one that I think will work better. I guess we all...

This was the worst B&B we have ever stayed in. "It" is, actually, three buildings. There is not a sign on a building so we had to watch for the address number. We rang the bell at the front gate, and a young lady came out. She took us to the middle building, unlocked the door, and took us in...

I hope the rest of your trip was better. I apologize for not being here, however as I have mentioned in another response and will again, I had to be away for a couple of weekend in January.
The property does have 3 pictures as pictured on our web site. There is a bell at the front gate located at...

I'm honestly shocked at the good reviews below. The room was tiny, old (I know it's supposed to be that way..but not remodeled at all), and COLD! Honestly it's a great place for a photographer to do a session or a history buff..but not anyone that wants a nice room. It was like we were staying at our great grandmothers...

I am sorry you had such a terrible time at our property, I hope your other experiences in New Orleans were better and fun.
Our standard rooms are the smallest rooms we have. I went in the room you stayed in and there is nothing wrong with the window unit. If the unit is not set to the proper temperature...

The Fairchild House is a great old house that reminds me of visiting old friends for a couple of days. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and cozy. It isn't far from the streetcar line and the location is perfect for going anywhere in New Orleans. You won't need a car at all. This would be a...

Great to have you stay with us. You are right, our location is great for Mardi Gras parades ...just a block away on St. Charles. It all starts this weekend!
Thank you for the referral.

Had a great experience. Loved the owners. Low key quiet neighborhood close to downtown and Tulane. Room was nice, clean and comfortable. Easy street parking. My only complaints at all would be the under-powered Wi-Fi (only works in main house), the loud Friedrich air conditioner/heater, compact bathroom, and the small-sized flat TV. Otherwise I would totally recommend the place for...

Glad you enjoyed your say and are able to recommend the B&B to others. We have the small tv's because we just don't feel we have the space in the rooms for larger ones. The WIFI issue is definitely an issue I am working on. Look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Fairchild House B&B is exceptionally clean, odor-free, quiet and very reasonably priced. The free breakfast is adequate, although there are no hot options. The owners are very gracious and couldn't be nicer. We will undoubtedly be back. I was there in late August, when it was really hot, and so had to run the room air conditioner constantly, and it...

Thanks for the review. It was a pleasure having you and your daughter stay with us.
Our breakfast as is a Continental Plus. We serve assorted breads, juice, coffee, tea, cereals (including instant oatmeal) and fruits.
We are here most of the time, however the summer is our slowest season so I may be out and about playing with my...

The staff were very helpful and the food aplenty. The room was comfortable, and thankfully had effective air conditioning as we were there in July. The free parking was also a plus.

Thank you for the review. I am happy to know you enjoyed your stay in New Orleans and the Fairchild House. I realize the WIFI is not reaching everywhere on the property very well and I am working on this issue. We do offer Breakfast earlier for guest who may need it.
Thanks for sharing your experirences.

My boyfriend and I stayed here July 27th and 28th. The location was convenient to the trolley. You just walk down a block and a half hop on to the trolley and it takes you to the quartet. You can't beat the location and the free parking! The place was clean old rustic but comfortable. The bathroom was small and...

Guest house B&B located in Lower Garden District. Friendly greeting by a gentleman named Roland. Comfortable, simply furnished room. Very clean. Easy parking on and off street. Very steep stairs to 2nd floor. If this is an issue request 1st floor room.
