Canal Street Inn

The inn is lovely and we liked our room, beautiful decor for Christmas as well, we would have liked to have choices for breakfast but you just get what they give you and even though we asked ahead of time on the day of our departure for a to go breakfast as was stated in the details we were told nothing was available so we left for the airport without food.

My husband and I visited in December 2023 for a quick getaway for our Anniversary. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again, if a few things are addressed. Positives: The Inn was beautiful. We loved the decor and architecture. It is a historical building that is well maintained and cozy. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable with attention to small details. Breakfast was good, not great, but the Innkeeper was very nice and thoughtful since she did give me gluten free toast instead of a biscuit. The location was nice and quiet. It is not as close to the French Market as I had hoped but it was an easy streetcar ride or Uber ride. There were a couple restaurants that were a quick walk from the Inn. Our favorite was Katie’s, which we highly recommend. Needs Improvement: The first night we slept well except there was a beeping coming from something on and off throughout the night. We unplugged several things the next day but we obviously did not unplug the correct device because the beeping continued the next night. The second night I did not sleep very well at all. The room was very warm and stuffy. I was able to fall asleep for an hour or two but woke up around 11pm sweating and having difficulty breathing. I texted the Innkeeper twice and walked around the Inn to try to find a thermostat. I couldn’t find one and did not get a response from the Innkeeper. I was up for hours and only fell asleep here and there from sheer exhaustion. The Innkeeper did respond at 7am and stated that no one responds to texts after 6pm. I appreciate that she responded eventually, however, that didn’t help us, since we had gotten up and left by that point. Also, we had planned on using the hot tub, however, the water was green.

Very pleasant place to stay. Highly recommend staying here. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff a very helpful and friendly. Located on the main strip, but just out from the main area. Peaceful and quiet. If you like the old style look. With history then this is the place for you. Has plenty to keep you entertained. Also has a small gym. The street trolley 47/48 stops straight outside and for $4 a day you can travel around

Great location for getting to the French quarter and dock area because of the trolley stop right across the street. We didn't drive our car while we stayed here. The suite was huge, living room, bedroom and bathroom. The innkeeper gave us very helpful suggestions about sites to see and where to eat. Very tasty breakfast each morning.

Julia was amazing! I am in New Orleans every three months to see my doctor. It is a really srtressful experience, putting it mildly. Julia recognized this and went out of her way to make sure our stay was the best bed and breakfast experience of our lives. Excellent part of time. On site parking. Safety was never an issue. Clean, so clean. Everything us well thought out. There is nothing more we could ask for. Comfortable bed. Super quite. Excellent scones! The beauty of this home is awe inspiring. I am calling right now to make sure they have my room avaiable when I get back.

Our son, who lives in New Orleans, was getting married. It was a small wedding with a pre-wedding party for friends. The pre-wedding party was held on the grounds of the Canal Street Inn. How did the long weekend turn out? Fabulous. The proprietor was accommodating in every way. The rooms were inviting, large and comfortable. All of the common areas were well decorated, and the outdoor area was perfect for the cocktail party for about 100. My wife and I can't wait to go back. It is like having a mansion second home in New Orleans, with one exception. We don't have to make breakfast They serve a delicious breakfast every morning in the mansion' dining room.
