What guests think

Travellers to The Myrtles consistently praise its beautiful, history-rich grounds, welcoming staff, and engaging tours, while noting that the overall vibe is peaceful and unique rather than heavily haunted or theme-park spooky.

Rooms and cottages are generally comfortable and attractive, but historic-house stays can involve steep stairs, separate bathrooms, thin walls, and occasional A/C or water-pressure issues. Breakfast via the cafe is mixed, especially for gluten-free options, while many highlight the on-site dining and bar for quality. The setting is quiet and somewhat remote, convenient for nearby plantations but less so for city-style dining or nightlife. Expect a serene, service-forward stay with historic character and a few old-house quirks.

The grounds keeper was a delightful person worth her weight in gold. As a whole, the plantation was idyllic. The room was pleasant. Would have been very nice to have a refrigerator and ice machine more readily available. The tours were very informative, fun, and interesting. The restaurant on the grounds was outstanding.

Myrtle Plantation was lots of fun for me and my sister. We stayed in the doll room. Very scary and even locked my sister in the closet lol. Did not experience any paranormal activity very vintage and old rooms. Full size bed not Queen. Separate bathroom from the room which is exclusively yours. Beware stairs up to the rooms are very steep and hard to walk up and down.

I was not a fan of the Fannie Williams room at all. I didn’t request that room and I did not like having to walk down the hall to the bathroom and no tv in the room. I know some people are interested in the haunted aspect of the property but it was not an enjoyable experience for me. Thank you

The Myrtles is ABSOLUTELY stunning! Even more so than in the photos!!!! The grounds are gorgeous and the trees with Spanish moss are magical! The staff is amazing! The evening tour so good!! Like must not miss good!!! The breakfast is excellent!!!! So why not a 5 star review? Well….our room was beautiful…but…the mattress and bed were horribly uncomfortable. The bed creaked every teeny tiny move you made and the mattress was awful. And when I say awful, I mean that on 3 separate times during the night I grabbed a blanket a pillow and tried to sleep in the hardwood floor on the room. I’m almost 50, have chronic back pain and have had back surgery if that paints a picture of how desperate I was to give that even a thought. No surprise the floor wasn’t comfortable and I kept going between the bed and the floor at least 3 times that I can recall during the night. At one point even tried using all the rooms pillows to create a makeshift floor mattress. Nothing was comfortable. I hardly slept a wink. I was in the John Leake room. Also the difference in one degree on the thermostat was the difference between melting and freezing, something another guest experienced in their room as well as we chatted at breakfast. They said their bed was also very uncomfortable and the creeking was bad as well. They stated they thought about sleeping in their truck at one point during the night. It was then I regretted not thinking of sleeping in my vehicle!

We stayed at the Myrtles for 1 night, it’s been a dream for years and goodness it was anticlimactic! Advertised “breakfast buffet” was 1 slice of (half toasted) toast with avocado spread that was it! Arrived on a Sunday and restaurant closed, that’s fine if there would be an option in town to eat! Negative. The only place open was McDonalds and Sonic! Shower needs a desperate descale as almost no water came out of the 6 holes in the shower head. Coffee machine needs a descale as didn’t work. Pillows were extremely lumpy and pretty uncomfortable. The free champagne was mentioned but not given. Should be put in the guest room prior to arrival not stashed away behind reception. Honestly if you can stay elsewhere I would suggest that. Property grounds are nice though.

The Myrtle's is an amazing place to stay for a week or even a weekend when in New Orleans. If you like the scary adventure it's a must but also if you love the peace and quiet of your vacation. The Myrtle's offer something for every type of people and it's a lovely place to stay.
