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

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.

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.

Was a very easy and nice place to stay just outside the touristy hotspots. The trolly takes you right into French Quarter and it takes about ~10m. The breakfast was great, convenient and cutely done. The owner is really friendly and helped us orientate us to the city. There is on site parking but I would have felt safe parking on the street. I would love to stay if I visit that part of the states again.
