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

Run! As far as you can! To the next hotel.

The person (property mgr?), Darryl, who checked me in was very kind and accommodating. And he seem well intentioned. However, my room (upstairs, in the rear) was simply awful. The bear was uncomfortable, the mattress, uneven, and the furnishings, aged and of poor quality. The absolute worst thing was the air conditioner did not work, and the temperature was about 90°. (I actually left the hotel after the first night, though I didn’t check out. I went to stay at a friends in the city. … I was too disappointed and enraged to even file a complaint with the manager. Besides, I knew they would not refund my money if I asked to leave immediately. I’m even certain that the kind gentleman who checked me in knew that I was disappointed, and that the air conditioner would not work. Yeah, he didn’t say anything. I would never stay here again. And, unless you have no other option, I would caution you against staying here either.

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.

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.

Couldn’t Lock My Door, Issue Never Addressed

It would have been a great stay had it not been for a small incident and the way it was handled. I stayed in room 2 and got locked out. The key was stuck in the door and would not turn. I let the inkkeeper know. She sent the housekeeper to help. She could not turn the key either. The innkeeper then tried. Same result. She called another gentleman to also try. I assumed he had some sort of tool to get in. But he also only tried to simply turn the key. By this time, it's been 40 minutes and I was late for an event that was very important to me. Eventually, the door opened. I had to leave my room unlocked for the duration of my stay. I felt very unsafe leaving my belongings as some guest do not obey the rules of locking the gate and house entrance. The issue was never resolved nor was a locksmith ever called at any point even though I explained that I needed to leave as soon as possible when I first brought the matter to the attention of the innkeeper. The website lists off-street parking. When I arrived I drove around looking for it but could not find it so I called and was told I needed to park on the street. Minutes later, when I checked in I was told by the same person that I could park in the back. I had had a 13 hour drive and did not want to deal with it at that point so just stayed in the spot a few blocks down. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The innkeeper was accommodating to let me know when she'd start brewing coffee since there wasn't coffee in the room.
