I would not recommend staying at this hotel…read more Upon arrival, the front desk attendant was repeatedly hacking and coughing and appeared visibly ill. It was not the first impression I expected when checking into a hotel. Unfortunately, the room itself was also disappointing. The carpet was dirty, there was an old cough drop and a granola bar underneath the bed, and the air vent blew dust into the room when it turned on. These issues made me question how thoroughly the room had been cleaned before our stay. To make matters worse, there was a wedding taking place at the hotel, and the reception appeared to be directly outside our room. The music was extremely loud and continued until around 9:30 p.m. Traveling with a small child, this made bedtime difficult and significantly impacted our experience. The restaurant experience was equally frustrating. I ordered chicken tenders for my child, but they arrived covered in a spicy buffalo-style sauce, making them inedible for a young child. I charged the meal to my room and only discovered several days later, after requesting an itemized receipt, that a 22% tip charge had been added. I was never informed of this 22% tip charge when ordering. When I called to ask about it, the manager explained that the 22% charge was for room service tip. However, the food was never delivered to my room. I was required to walk to the restaurant and pick it up myself. While I didn't mind retrieving the food, I do mind being charged a substantial tip for a service that wasn't provided. To make matters worse, my hands were full carrying three drinks and a bag of food back to the room, and one of the overfilled drinks spilled along the way. I also spoke directly with the hotel manager regarding the 22% tip charge. I explained that I was never informed ahead of time that this charge would be added and that the food was not actually delivered to my room. Instead, I had to walk to the restaurant and pick it up myself. The manager did not seem concerned that I was being charged what was described as a room service fee without receiving traditional room service. What bothered me most was not just the charge itself, but the lack of transparency and the apparent unwillingness to acknowledge why a guest might find that frustrating. If they had actually delivered the food themself I would have tipped more. The combination of the dirty room, excessive noise, unexpected charges, and poor dining experience made for a very disappointing stay. I would not stay here again and would not recommend either the hotel or the restaurant.

Linda (the owner) gave us a fair&unbeatable price for the Larger poolside suite despite it being Mardi Gras, Valentine's day, as well as it being the weekend when we arrived. Linda was a DOLL! She took care of us, fluffed our room when we were out & reloaded our fridge with breakfast daily. She showed us around the place and welcomed us like family. I truly felt like I was at mom's house. True southern hospitality. We had a few good talks about the history of her house and her life as she once lived in New Orleans. My fiancé enjoyed talking with Linda as New Orleans is where he was born and raised. Despite our talks, Linda does not hover! Which was so appreciated, when you're on a "romantic"vacation. We had our own privacy during our stay as each suite is separate and inaccessible from where Linda stays in her home. We came and went as we please and used the hot tub at night as late as we wanted. We had our own private entrance, which was incredibly nice. The privacy was appreciated as I didn't know what to expect when we first arrived, but I was prepared to be open minded. I think I will always choose a Bed and Breakfast over a lousy hotel in the future. The rooms were grand and clean. The bathroom was nice and the shower as well. Everything was clean. Its just an old house, but I loved the cottage vibes. It was home-y. The town is walkable and cute! A Mardi Gras parade came right through down the street, during our last day there, which was nice. The poolside porch and hot tub made me feel like I was at a resort. The beauty of the home is breathtaking! Romantic cottage vibes! Perfect for couples or even a small girls trip. I will definitely be back to Linda's next year when we visit again for Mardi Gras. Linda has made me never want to stay at a hotel again.

Staying at this bed and breakfast was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone…read morelooking for a perfect getaway. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the incredibly well-thought-out "lake motif" decor that seamlessly blended classic elegance with modern comfort. Every corner of the place seemed to have been designed with care and attention to detail, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The lakeside mural in the main seating area left me feeling as though I was right where I wanted to be! It was perfect for conversing, reading and gathering over morning coffee and a glass of wine in the evening, The ensuite was nothing short of amazing, offering a level of luxury and space that I hadn't expected, both indoor and outdoor. The king bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect night's sleep after a day of exploring. The room was well-appointed with high-quality furnishings that added to the overall feeling of luxury. But the highlight for me was the large bathroom, which featured both a dual head shower and a large two-person jacuzzi tub. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax in a bubble bath after a long day. And our private outdoor sitting area was quaint and comfortable. The breakfast served each morning was delicious, offering a variety of options to suit every taste. The quality of the food and the attention to detail in its preparation were evident, making each morning a delightful experience. The location of the B&B added to its charm, being just a half block walk to the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The proximity to the lake allowed for beautiful sunrise, mid-day, and sunset walks along the shore, providing breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere to enjoy nature's beauty. Additionally, the B&B was conveniently located near a diverse array of restaurants, offering a range of dining options that allowed me to explore different cuisines during my stay. Overall, my stay at this bed and breakfast was truly amazing. The combination of the well-thought-out decor, the spacious and luxurious ensuite, the delicious breakfast, and the perfect location made it an experience that I won't forget. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a high-quality, memorable stay at very reasonable rates. It's a place where every detail is considered, ensuring that guests have an incredible experience from start to finish. Just WOW!!!!

First, I've never even heard of this town, so it was a pleasant surprise to check it all out and fall in love. This B&B has so much charm and you can tell how much the owners love it. The house itself has been very well maintained. We were the only guests in the main house that night, so we had the whole house to ourselves. They left out snacks and drinks for us, left the lights on, and unlocked the doors, as we arrived well after the check in time. We were in the master suite, which had a king sized bed with a sleep number mattress. Awesome! Plenty of space in the room to make ourselves comfortable. The bathroom was big with a separate toilet area. Also, I'm a sucker for clawfoot tubs. It was a very charming room to spend a night in. We had a vegetarian breakfast the following morning, which consisted of scrambled eggs, stuffed French toast, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice. All very delicious! Lastly, this place is pet friendly and close to restaurants and shops! If you're ever in town, please check this place out!

For a super-low-price hotel, this place is not bad. I stayed here for one night in Feb. 2020…read moreduring Mardi Gras, and my friends stayed in another room at the Olivia for 3 nights. Normally I stay in Super 8 motels or Hampton Inns, costing $75 to $120 per night. But on this trip, our group wanted cheaper accommodations. We paid about $55 for a room with one bed, and $65 for a room with 2 beds. We slept well and we felt the place was okay. No free breakfast, but Waffle House is across the street and other restaurants and convenience stores are adjacent. This hotel does not attract a classy crowd or an upscale clientele. But we did not feel scared or threatened, and for us, it worked, and it served its purpose. Staff is friendly and helpful. Unfortunately you need their help just to unlock the 2nd lock on the door to the room, upon first arrival. My room smelled like cigarette smoke when I arrived, but I opened the window and later, there was no noticeable odor. I would not stay here again in the future, unless I was with these same friends again, needing a cheaper place to stay.
