    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.

    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!
