The Avenue Garden Hotel is not for everyone but if you are comfortable with some compromises, it's a good value. We travel often and prefer off-beat, privately owned properties so the Avenue Garden was right up our alley. That said, there are both pros and cons. On the upside, the location in the Garden District is convenient to the street... more

I've stayed in this quaint hotel every time I've been home to visit New Orleans (since Katrina), and each time it gets better. Avenue Garden is now under new ownership, and the lovely Ms. Lydia is simply awesome. She's friendly, and she cares about her guests. She is updating/repairing the rooms, which has been a work in progress since Katrina,... more

We arrived in New Orleans planning to stay with a friend, and when plans changed we went on Orbitz and searched for a nice Hotel within our friends living area. Low and behold we found a great deal for the Avenue Garden Hotel. Now for the price we got through orbitz for the hotel, well I'll just say we really... more

This was our first trip to New Orleans so we were clueless as to where to stay and this place was GREAT! A new owner has just taken over and was working the check-in desk when we arrived.

This hotel was fine with me. The staff was more than accommodating when I had to change the reservation date several times. We had room #28. Our bed was very, very comfortable.

This hotel has a new owner and she is doing a great job of upgrading the facilities. She is gracious and has great southern hospitality and charm about her. It is a great place for people who like to see New Orleans away from French Quarters. Great restaurants next door. more

I stayed at the hotel a few weekends ago while in town to attend my granddaughter's graduation from Loyola. The hotel is the quintessential bargain for college parents and is in the greatest location - not quite in the french quarter and not too far uptown. The hotel is located right on the trolley line (with RTA passes available at... more

I checked-in this hotel on a Wednesday, and stayed until Saturday morning as I couldn't get out of the hotel as told by the website I booked with had spoken with the nasty, UNPROFESSIONAL manager. When I arrived, a lady was storming out the door past me. The red flag should've gone off...The nasty manager said to the desk clerk,... more

I had the experience to visit New Orleans since the devastation of 2005, and I must say that my recent trip was wonderful as a result of my accommodations. I experience the hospitality of Ms Liydia and Elvina the weekend, that was awesome. The location of the hotel and the many inexpensive eateries nearby made the stay that more pleasant.... more
