We were so excited to come back after an excellent experience last time but there is definite love lost when this place got handed down. Dana (?) spoke about getting ready to start upgrading things around there but I think it's going in the wrong direction. You will lose the charm and experience of staying in a real New Orleans home. You don't need glass showers. You need a bucket of soapy water. Upon arrival, we noticed old ice cream still waiting in the freezer. There were burnt out light bulbs and dried, dead bugs on the microwave. I noticed past reviews stated that they were welcomed to a stocked fridge of milk and orange juice. We didn't even have coffee filters. We had to buy our own coffee, sugar, and milk. There was a cheese grater, but no bottle opener. A lot of drawers were stuffed with plastic grocery bags but we couldn't find any kitchen trash bags in order to empty the overflowing trash cans. There was a cabinet full of paint cans and other maintenance junk which was a turn off. The dog barking at 5/6 in the morning right outside our room was a real bummer. We enjoyed the clean towels but the place was overall dirty. We loved having the croissants delivered to us in the morning. They were delicious! You can't beat the location. A few blocks from Bourbon, straight shot to Cafe du Monde, and Armstrong Park right outside the window. With the rise of AirBNB, now is not the time to let things slack. You aren't just in competition with the hotels anymore. You have an amazing property and it was so sad to see the condition of it after only a few years. Appreciate what you have and fix it. Unfortunately, I won't be back to see if that happens. read more

My wife and I recently booked this location in suggestion from a friend. There's some pluses and minuses to staying here. The hosts, Dana and Andrew, were very nice and accommodating. The house is located just a few blocks from Bourbon Street, so it's easy to get to and from if that's your thing. Fresh pastries in the morning were nice. As with all things in this section of New Orleans, the house is old and has many quirks. The floor was not level, many years of foundation settling obviously. Know in advance, if you drive in it's not easy to find this location. Also, there's no parking for your vehicle. You will be forced to find street parking, which is in a limited supply, or pay to park in a lot. The house is located fairly close to the corner of St. Ann and Rampart, and being close to Bourbon there is traffic/street noise. Overall, we were happy with our stay, but it was not exactly what we expected. read more

My daughters and I stayed at Q&C HotelBar New Orleans Autograph Collection for one night. I asked to extend our stay for another night and was told I would get a phone call letting me know if anything was available. I never got that phone call. We were put in a single room when a double was requested and was directed to the elevators when our room was in the other building. We met a man on the elevator, his name is Obie, who told us where our room actually was. He told us he'd get us free drinks for the mistake the front desk made. :) The room error was quickly corrected and we loved our room. Once we were settled in our room, there was a knock on the door, it was Obie delivering on his promise. This may sound like a negative review, it is not. The front desk attendant was new so mistakes will be made. The only other con is there is no hotel parking. The hotel itself is very nice; the main building has a large bar with very friendly employees. The second building is like a game room with lots of comfortable seating. The decor is very interesting; there is a wall of mirrors and cool artwork. Our room was quite comfortable and I loved the sliding door leading to the restroom. The hotel is in a perfect location, it is walking distance to all the places we planned on visiting. We are planning another trip soon plan on staying at the Q&C HotelBar New Orleans, Autograph Collection. read more

Haunted, charming, and a stone's throw away from the end of the Bourbon Street. What else do you want, tourist? The missus of this little b&b is just the sweetest lady ever. She reminds me of my grandma. She told us about the features of our first floor residence - then came back and repeated it again. Which is fine by me because I was excited both times she told me about the croissants she would be bringing warmed up purchased from a french pastry chef each morning! We stayed here for a weekend for a bachelor and bachelorette dual party. Gals in one unit and guys in another. Worked out because there are plenty of units and the one we stayed in had a kitchen too (who cooks when visiting NOLA though?). I did encounter some unusual activity here. Keys not working that should have, inability to lock doors, weird phonograph music in the middle of the night, and steps heard from upstairs when we verified that the guys were not in. The staff did note that there are ghosts there... Beware. But enjoy! It's def worth the visit if you're up for a quaint off the beaten path experience. read more

So much potential! I realize that the proprietors are attempting to maintain the old charm of these buildings, however there is a big difference between "quaint and unrestored " and just plain dirty and run down. The window unit A/C was so full of dust and the change filter light was red, causing my daughter's asthma to flare up during most of our stay; there was hair in all of the corners of the bathroom floor; mildew in the corner of the tub; a hole in the bathroom wall that had been repaired with heavy stock paper and duct tape....only to mention a few issues. The location is secured by a locking gate and is in a convenient location (awesome coffee shop right around the corner that we walked to every AM), so definitely a positive if that's your only concern. We never met any older couple that other reviewers claim to own the place, but instead 2 young men (mid to late 20's, I'm guessing) who I believe lived on the property. While they were friendly and helpful when we asked, they were not very attentive in that they did not check to see if we needed anything during our stay (we had to ask for more clean towels and we bought our own toilet paper at Walgreen's), we were only delivered the raved about croissants on 2 of the 4 mornings we were there (and we had to ask for 1 of those because apparently someone forgot) and their very large dog (although friendly) crapped in the courtyard and it was left there for the last 2 days of our stay. As far as the haunting of the establishment that someone else had mentioned in their review, I totally agree. At 4AM each morning, we would be woken by someone playing the piano and the sound of a small crowd of people talking. There were also some of our items that would be in totally different locations in the room in the AM than where we had put them at night before bed. So, if you're into stuff like that for authenticity of the experience, that was pretty cool. All in all, I wouldn't stay again. There are so many other options within a half mile radius that have been updated, yet still maintaining the French Quarter charm, for the same price. read more

Gentry House - Very quaint street where Gentry House is located. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This B&B is at the very edge of the French Quarter hard by a busy street (Rampart.) It's nice to actually be in the French Quarter but the location isn't what I'd call phenomenal. Lonely Planet touted Gentry House as "historic" but once I was there that struck me as a way of saying it looks a little old and tired on the inside, particularly the bathrooms. Because we reserved late we had to move during our stay--the first suite was blissfully quiet and the second had a bedroom right by the street and was fairly noisy. Both suites had limited amounts of sunlight. The "breakfast" consisted of a couple of soggy croissants hung on your doorknob. Each suite had a large and functional kitchen, but with a very limited amount of cooking and eating supplies. I will say that the suites here are HUGE; the second one we stayed in could probably accommodate 8 people, though we were just two. This place might be perfect for a large party trying to stay in the French Quarter on a limited budget but not so great for a couple on a romantic getaway. read more

Very conveniently located. Clean. Owners were wonderful and helpful. Stayed two nights in the saint ann. Definitely comming back.

Phenomenal! We stayed at Gentry House for my daughter's bachelorette weekend. There was plenty of room for all 19 of us, with loads of space and bathrooms galore. It's not fancy, but clean and spacious. When we would need something, we'd just text Andrew and he would be right there with it. Extra silverware, baking dishes, extra toilet paper, whatever. And the croissants Andrew delivered each morning were amazing!!! The location was also ideal. Just 3 blocks from Bourbon Street and a block from Louis Armstrong Park. If you are planning a girls weekend or a family trip, this is the place for you! read more

Don't let the gate and street view scare you off. Our taxi driver seemed nervous about leaving us here, but we assured him we were in good hands. Short walk to almost everything. Cozy rooms, friendly service and warm baked goods hanging from your doorknob in the AM. Beautiful patio for chilling out and no problems for stumbling in late. I'd stay again! read more

Bryan and Charlotte were the most gracious and hospitable hosts we could have ever asked for. My husband and I came to NOLA for our honeymoon and even though we had their smallest suite, it was still paradise for us! Complimentary breakfast in the morning in the form of the most delicious croissants We've ever had. Plus they provide you with orange juice, coffee, milk, cereal, and a fruit plate stocked in your fridge when you arrive. We felt very safe here and close to everything. Just plan on not having a car - there really is NOWHERE to park! Bryan is very knowledgable about places to go and things too see as well, and if you have time to pick either his or Charlotte's brain about the history of the area, they are as informed as any tour guide. Also, in telling some local friends about our experience here they said we really lucked out on this place. Some other rooms for rent in the French quarter can be much more seedy and of questionable nature. Would definitely stay here again! Has all the charm you could ask for but at a reasonable rate and still very comfortable! read more

There is nothing fancy about this inn & the hot water & water pressure is almost non-existence. Other than that, the place is great. Hot pastries are delivered every morning. The room has a coffee maker. The inn is convenient to everything in the French Quarter and near a trolley stop. Most of all I felt safe staying at the Gentry Inn. The owners gave us some ideas of what to do. read more

We stayed over the week of Christmas 2013. We really enjoyed our stay and the location was great for walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. We couldn't cook our own dinners because the kitchen had the bare minimum for pots and pans. Had it been better stocked, we would have been able to eat more easily in the apartment. The store was about 5 blocks away. Other then not being able to make dinner at our home away from home, everything was wonderful. The hosts, Brian and Charlotte were really wonderful. read more

Love the Gentry House, its location is perfect. Far enough away from Bourbon Street (3 blocks) that you don't get all the screaming and yelling or loud music that being to Bourbon would find you. Close enough to all the action of the French Quarter. The owners are the nicest people you will find. We've had a group staying here for Mardi Gras for more than 10 Yeats now and we love the great prices, kind owners, wonderful courtyard and the ability of 12 to 16 friends being able to stay at the same place. The morning hot croissants just put it over the top. read more

Cool place to stay in a very convenient spot. Owner is nice, helpful, and lives onsite in case you need anything. I had a great time in this safe little area. Parking wasn't too bad either. I'd def stay here again and will consider it on my next visit! read more

Excellent place to stay. The Innkeepers were so nice. Plans being made to go back.

The B&B is close enough to the French Quarter to walk but far enough to be very quiet. The owners are very kind and will go out of their way for you. The rooms are clean and fresh croissants are delivered every day. The kitchenette was a good size for us to make quick meals, but let's be honest, you are going to be going out to enjoy the food in the city. We will be back for sure. read more

Long story short, if you like having your door unlocked after midnight by the staff when you're asleep and on ambien, have them come shake you awake, pull you out of bed when you're in your underwear, make you get dressed and pack your bags so they can move you to the room they SHOULD have put you in at 6pm when you showed up. Then come here! Also if you like being harassed by the same housekeeper everytime you see her about a bad review your friend posted, this is the place for you. BONUS! After I was told to get out of bed, all she did was tell me I was probably clean and then fold the blanket back down so the next person could sleep in my dirty sheets! Yum! The older gentleman owner was very nice whenever I saw him but he watched as the room change happened and NEVER offered me any sort of refund or compensation! He said he didn't think I minded that happening because I was so nice the night it was happening. Too bad I didn't get to sleep the first night because i was scared and upset and had to barricade my door the second and still hardly slept. I'm an honest reviewer and I pretty sure the law and some health codes were broken. I will never go here again and I'm sad it ruined my first trip to NOLA. The croissants were tasty though. read more

I loved our stay. The location was perfect, right across from the park. It was a safe and very convenient location. Our room had a queen sized bed and a separate room that served as a kitchen, dining, and living room. The bathroom was small but that's expected in these old homes. The employees delivered fresh hot croissants to our room every morning and they were delicious. It was a wonderful stay and we have no complaints. read more

If you like being awaken by staff after midnight and told you need to change rooms because apparently you were put in the wrong one earlier in the day, then COME HERE! I had to bail at the last minute from my trip, leaving my best friend to go alone, but I still paid for my half of her rooms, which makes me a paying customer. My friend (a sufferer of PTSD) contacted me immediately following this incident, where hotel staff entered her room and awakend her by physically touching her while she was on ambien and very groggy. When I called the desk to politely attempt to renegotiate my rate, the staff hung up on me. To say I was appalled is an understatement. They responded to my google review by claiming I had PTSD and that's why I was irate, etc. etc. Because of my complaint, my friend was incessantly harassed for the next day and a half of her stay. Here's some documentation of their deceit regarding the matter. https://youtu.be/a0rpScLuL9w It's a mystery that a business with such poor policy can survive. read more

I stayed at the Gentry House for 4 nights. The British owner (she has now sold up to another couple) was delightful. Warm fresh croissants were left hanging in a bag on your door every morning for breakfast. The property is a small B&B surrounding a lovely quiet courtyard, and they only have about 5 rooms. My room was perfect, a tiny kitchenette which you entered directly from the courtyard with a small sofa, and table for two, which lead past a small but clean and functional bathroom. This then lead into the bedroom through some louvered doors. The bed was so so comfortable and there was plenty of storage space for luggage. Some of the rooms can be connected by interconnecting doors. Suprisingly, this is also one of the cheapest places in the French Quarter (on St Ann's) that I've found to stay. read more

If you ever stayed at the beach during Spring break, this is the type of room you had. Small old, nasty shower, smaller old, uncomfortable bed which sits on the floor. Not a big thing you say until you remember all the insects & vermin that proliferate the French Quarter. NO internet service, 1 channel on a TV (CNN). NO parking. You park 6 blocks down the street in a garage. Neighborhood is borderline sketchy this far from Quarter. Were promised juice and milk in fridge ever day-got some juice on 1 day-no milk ever and no creamer for coffee. There is no maid service between days of stay. If you stay for 2 plus days-you live with the trash, sheets and towels that come with the place. There is no privacy. No curtains-people can look right into your room thru large front windows unless you hide in the back bedroom or bathroom. Positives: got 3 croissants in the morning. The host seemed nice but that didn't translate into a good stay...wont be back and will not refer friends. read more
