Ashton's Bed and Breakfast

Patrick and Karma were terrific hosts, full of New Orleans knowledge. Patrick gave us restaurant suggestions, and both Mr. B's and Ralph's on the Park turned out to be great dining experiences. His breakfasts were wonderful, too, and set us up for the day. Our room, Number 8, and the gracious home were lovely from check-in to checkout. There were lots of amenities, soft towels and robes, and a comfortable bed. Private gated parking was a big plus, and coffee and snacks were available around the clock. We were able to park the car and take cabs everywhere.

We had a comfortable room with useful touches like suitcase stands, an iron, soap, and easy-to-use climate control. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the room stayed quiet despite being on a main road. Every so often a loud motorcycle came by during rush hour, but it never stopped us sleeping or enjoying the stay. Room #7 had only a small window, so we got less natural light than some other rooms. The jetted claw foot tub was lovely and worked well, though it was a bit tall to climb into. Patrick and the staff were kind and helpful, with dining suggestions and other tips. Breakfast had a different menu each day, was very good, and always filled me up. Snacks and drinks were available anytime. The gated parking was easy to use, with a remote for coming and going, and the shaded courtyard under the oak tree was a nice spot to relax. The Wi-Fi reception and speed weren’t great, maybe we were in a dead zone. The French Quarter is close enough for an Uber, about $9-13 each way, if you want to avoid the noise and bustle. We were there for our anniversary and would stay again if we wanted a place outside the Quarter.

This is my new home in New Orleans. The house is beautifully decorated and gives you that old New Orleans feeling, with safe onsite parking and a safe, walkable area. You can get to lots of city sights on foot, too. The Ashton's know how to run a top-notch B&B. Breakfast was filling, and the coffee was hot and ready. Everything about the home is AWESOME!!!!!

Our room was clean and cozy, and the neighborhood felt safe and lovely. We could walk to nearby Louis Armstrong park without trouble, as long as you don’t mind a bit of a walk. The best part was the breakfast Patrick and Karma made every morning. Incredible, and I already miss it. They made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived, and were kind and gracious throughout our four days. They also had quick suggestions for activities and tips for getting around the city. Thanks for a great trip, we hope to come back soon! And a shoutout to Twiggy, the cutest outdoor courtyard cat I got to meet.
