Creole Inn

I put outstanding for the food but this is not a breakfast offering b&b....but you wouldn't want that because there are awesome breakfast spots a few blocks away. Food in NOLA is supreme. The Inn is an amazing value for a really sweet spot with the nicest staff ever and in a really great spot. A quick stroll to Frenchman and pleasant walk to French Quarter. We wouldn't stay anywhere else!!!

We've just had the most enjoyable stay at the Creole Inn for 11 nights. Bottom line is, we would be back in an instant. With backroom bars, cosy cafes and righteous restaurants all close by, as well documented on websites. The innkeepers, Kim & Charley, were most welcoming on arrival and more than helpful throughout, with any problems quickly resolved. The owners, Silas & Ray, have made a good move, in appointing them. In booking the stay with Gayl couldn't be faulted. free WiFi and the Inn's guest computer is a big bonus to food reviews and gig guides. The Inn's website was pitched just right & we were made well aware of what to expect. A sound night's sleep in a comfy bed, but with NO hotel atmosphere or pretenses, no breakfasts, far enough from the hubbub & hullabaloo (the battleground of Bacchanalia). But, close enough to walk to , or stagger back from, if need be. Having been to New Orleans many times over countless years, and experiencing Inns, B+B's, plus modest, boutique and select hotels, from the CBD to the Quarter, from Decatur to N.Rampart and on Bourbon, all have been noisy in the early hours, with the traffic of all night delivery & garbage removal, with the occasional fight & the odd gunshot. - even the Garden District has the all night street car trundling rattle & hum (U2 can experience this). At the Inn, the distant sounds of the train toots shunting and the ship's whistle floating off the river a more welcome and preferable lullaby. Yes, some parts of the Inn are worn & weather-beaten, but with Silas & Ray employing Charley, with his experience as a master craftsman,to effect repairs & maintenance, and with Silas & Ray seemingly being pro-active in modifying the Inn - this evident in the recent installation of the new A/C system - the place can only go from strength to strength.

Clean and nice rooms. The location is very good as it is close to Frenchman Street and not far from the French Quarter. Very good restaurants nearby. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Of course the price is a real bargain.

Could have been a little cleaner but the great service made up for that... I bring my own cleaning supplies and sheets anyway....

Please DO NOT book this lovely INN if you are expecting a B & B expericence. Not sure why this is listed under B & B. Please read all information on the Inn closely. We did, and we loved it. We were able to book the entire Inn for a week (we made plans a year in advance). What a great bargin. We had a great family experience, would do it again in a heart beat and would highly recommend to freinds and family. Gayl was/is great. She is no longer the inn keeper but does take care of bookings. She received a promotion within the company --- congrats to Gayl for a job well done. We were the lucky group to welcome Kim and Charlie as new Inn keepers. They are very friendly and I'm sure will do a great job as well. Thanks to all who made our stay great. This is a wonderful little place, off the beaten path. If you don't mind walking I'm sure you will love it too. Our stay was 6-18 thru 6-22. D's bunch from Texas

We arrived at the Creole Inn to find what we thought was a cool little local guest house! Now we have to tell you that you MUST read the website before booking!!! Otherwise you run the risk of not being happy if you are wanting to stay at a modern day bed and breakfast. They don't offer breakfast and as a result they keep the prices low so they dont have to provide that service. Afterall who would want to eat at the BNB when there are so much creole food to explore! In addition the lobby was very pretty but it is small. The room we stayed in was smaller than what I normally stay in but we stayed here for the price not the size of the room. The bed was memory foam and the most comfortable bed I have every stayed in for a hotel! I didnt want to get up!!!! The area is close to everything in the French Quarter but whatever you do if you are handicapped or just cant walk then you probably will want to go with the expectations of getting a cab. If you are able bodied you can walk everywhere from here. The famous Frenchmen Street is just a few blocks away and thats where alot of local jazz artists perform. The host was Gayl and Silas. I think Gayl is the housekeeper and Silas is the owner. He sat and chatted with us for a while and told us all about the area. The rooms were very clean and we couldnt have been more pleased. If you are going to New Orleans to stay in your hotel room I wouldnt stay here becuase there is nothing to do in the Inn, but if you want great rates, kindess, and super hosts then this is your place! We cant wait to come back!!!!!

Quite area very convient, nice rooms and great customer service close to Deench Quarer and all attractions!!

Not a bed a breakfast. Place needs a lot of basic maintenance (brokne bathroom window with no curtain/blinds; under bed dirty; noisy- vents over doors lets in ALL of the noise of neighbors. Back patio isn't; falling apart. Water Pressure in shower non-existent. Not convenoent to French Quarter; about a mile walk.

We loved the Creole Inn!! It's a great place to stay and the area is perfect. The room was the perfect size for my husband and me. We will definitely be staying here on our next visit. Thank you!

Rooms were clean, especially the bathrooms. It could have been vacuumed a litltle better. The beds were comfortable and the antique look was nice. The TV's were small and a bit dated. There was no information about channel selection. The overall visit was an excellent value for the cost.

I just experienced my first stay in a VRBO on my second trip to New Orleans. The Creole Inn is in the perfect location - much preferred over the location of my last stay in a hotel! Walking to the French Quarter via Frenchmen Street was an enjoyable activity in and of itself. The Innkeeper, Gayl, said you 'can literally eat your way all the way down', and she was right! (Of course, there's much much more than local eateries on Frenchmen Street.) I took my three grown children with me on this trip, and we couldn't have had a more enjoyable three night stay - Gayl is a wonderful hostess. I would recommend the Creole Inn for its location, value, and ease of booking.

Not fancy, but very affordable and within walking distance of the French Quarter. Loved it!

Very well priced accommodations within walking distance of the Quarter. Located in an "artsy" residential neighborhood with corner cafes, etc. People out and about in the neighborhood at all hours. Safe and picturesque. Great stay!

Great location just about 4 blocks from Frenchman. Clean, friendly neighborhood. Mrs. Gayle, the housekeeper is an added bonus. We stayed in the room with the four bunk beds and the larger bed in the front. Totally clean was not creeped out at all. The bathroom was clean and the walls were thick. Could not hear the couple in the front room. Really private....loved the locked front door and the courtyard.

We had our second stay with the Creole Inn this past weekend 6/17/10 to 6/19/10 since our last stay here in Feb. they got new courtyard furniture. We just love this place and look forward to staying here whenever we visit New Orleans. Thanks Gayle for your great hospitality. Hope to see ya soon. The Heberts

My first stay at the Creole Inn was in December of 2008. I wasn't expecting much and picked it pretty much exclusively because it was so cheap and the pictures on the website made it look alright. I ended up loving it so much I stayed there again in May 2009, and I'll be going back again this December! I've stayed in three rooms (I made a switch halfway through the first stay) and all of them were clean and well-decorated. Breakfast is available downstairs and the owners are easy to talk to and quick to give good recommendations. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great time in New Orleans without breaking the bank.

This was absolutely a wonderful experience. Myself, husband, daughter and grandson all stayed here and none of us had one bad thing to say about it. Evenings we were in the courtyard before going our way for a chat and drinks with other roomers and the great husband and wife team that live there. Hospitality was wonderful and I can't tell you how many times we said "This is so much better then a hotel".

I was very surprised this place was as nice as it turned out to be. The price was very low and it shocked me that they had a private bathroom in every room. It was almost like staying in a hotel. Noone bothers you and you never see the Inn Keeper. It's a come-as-you-wish place. They also have a free computer with internet in the lobby for anyone to use and wi-fi in the rooms! The parking here is FREE and not the typical $20 I usually pay when I stay at hotels. It's low stress and very laidback. The breakfast is continental but for the price and location only a 5 min walk to the french quarter and frenchmenstreet its well worth it. The area is pretty good, but its like anywhere in new orleans its old world style...

Stayed here over the weekend and the place was upgraded a lot since last year. The beds had memory foam on them and the sheets were the softest cotton! The place is very laidback also and the customer service is very nice.
