Avenue Garden Hotel

This was a great location for me and my husband's romantic getaway vacation. Very quaint. We rode the street card to most of our destinations and it is located in front of the hotel. I wished the room would of been bigger, but for what we paid, it was still nice.

Hotel was alright. Good for the price and pretty good location. Very old building lots of character. Room was small and bed was big and Not comfortable. No water pressure. Very basic amenities provided. You can hear a lot of things. Hotel next to streetcar stop and near a few bars and restaurants. Slice next door was real yummy.

If you're looking for modern, sanitized, boring place to stay, then go ahead and book at one of the big chains. If however, you want a clean, comfortable hotel, in a great location, with wonderful staff and old school New Orleans charm, this is the place for you.

This hotel is in an old Gardent District House. The rooms were small, but clean. Staff was friendly. Ceiling fan did not work. It was brought to the staff's attention, but was not fixed. Off street parking was advertised. Their definition of "off street" meant not the main street, but a well traveled side street.

Nice room just wasn't big enough for me. But all the eating places was in walking distance.

When we first walked in we were given a tour through the main building of the hotel by the clerk at the front desk (I wasn't aware there were multiple buildings at this point, but didn't really think it made a difference). It matched the description of the website and we were quite excited for our stay. After we signed all of our paperwork and charged for the room, we were told "oh, by the way you had the last reservation of the evening and will be staying in one of our rooms located in the next building." The room was described as "burlesque."Um, wierd description, but I can be pretty open to things...right?The room was on the second floor above the pizza place/bar which was in the next building. Apparently the two buisinesses have an agreement which allows the hotel to use the second floor for extra rooms. As we walked in to the room we were greeted by a wall of moist heat, even hotter than it was outside of the hotel (our checkin was during the evening, maybe 80 F outdoors). Our clerk stated "wow it's hot in here the maid probably forgot to turn on the A/C before leaving" As she walked towards the A/C unit, she admitted "Well, it's on high, and it is blowing really cold air" She tried to assure me that it would cool off soon. As she left we looked at our room which did not, what so ever, match the hotel website. Red velvet was found everywhere in the room... there was even a circular bed with a red velvet comforter containing many "white" stains, and a large square mirror on the ceiling. I could not stop thinking of all the adult videos that would have been filmed there. We turned off all the excess lights in an attempt to see if the room would cool down, it did not. The door to the pizza joint could be clearly heard slamming approx every 6-8 min followed by the laughter and intoxicated chatter of its patrons. After sweating for an hour (the temp of the room hovered around 98 F) and clearly hearing the conversations of patrons inside and outside of the resturaunt we had enough. I spoke to the clerk who stated that there wasn't anything she could do for tonight but would but speak to her manager tomorrow, adding that the room was already paid for throughout the weekend and since we already signed the paperwork that a refund would not be given. I handed my keys back, and stayed in another hotel that evening and the rest of the weekend. The manager never attempted to contact me in regards to my room at any point and I certainly was charged for the entire weekend. I'm sure the rooms located in the main hotel are lovely and I have an appreciation for "mom and pop" businesses, but I cannot give my patronage to establishments that operate in such a manner. I live an hour away from New Orleans and visit at least a few times a year. I've been to many "sketchy" hotels, but this one really was the worst I've ever been to. [...] Never again.

General, it is OK. Hotel is close to trolley, which can bring you to all attractions. Not the best for visitor.

The Avenue Garden Hotel has a rustic feel. Tucked a few minutes away from Bourbon st. with the St.Charles trolley right out the front door which runs 24hrs a day the area is beautiful and I am definitely going to visit again.

This small hotel on St Charles Avenue is truly in the center of it all. Absolutely convenient to attractions in the New Orleans area. The hotel itself is in a pair of old houses, the rooms have a slightly scruffy but very clean charm: high ceilings, comfortable bed, great continental breakfast, but you can see a little loving wear here and there. Making up for the very minor visible wear and providing buckets of friendly and helpful care are the owners and staff. It's super convenient to the streetcar and to great restaurants, and we'll definately be back.

The best part of the hotel is the location for the cost. We were walking distance from the main districts. This hotel needs major improvements: -no towel racks -air conditioner filter was dirty and smelled like urine -the bed sheets were dirty when we arrived -the breakfast was horrible (low quality coffee and low quality pastries)I was expecting fresh fruit, yogurt or eggs.
