Chimes Bed & Breakfast
2 reviews for Chimes Bed & Breakfast
This is our second visit . We enjoy the relaxed quaint feeling and the ability to get to the St. Charles Trolley Line. From the trolley we were able to go to everywhere we were interested in.
Morning brings a lovely breakfast of breads, pastries, fruit and cheeses of course with juice and coffee.
They provide a homey room with nice clean linens, bathrooms in each room, televisions, coffee maker and a refridge is stocked with water and sodas etc.
We really enjoy this place , it feels like a home but not overbearing like visiting a relative. Beds are comfortable, but remember it's not a hotel.
Prices are reasonable and they are quite helpful with ideas and services in the area.
I stayed here for a weekend in April for a friend's wedding in the Garden District. It was very nice, inviting, and friendly! They even had a few non-guests join breakfast because their B&B was full and the non-guests had to find other lodging, but were invited back for the meal.
The B&B is run by a married couple who will greet you, show you around the place, and eat breakfast with you. They've owned the place for about 22 years. They have 5 rooms and all have their own bathroom. My room was next to the kitchen (small discount for the breakfast-making/eating noise) and was super comfortable with fresh orchids, water, a small tv, window a/c unit, and a sound machine. A thin folder contains recommendations for places to eat around the area. With the a/c turned on and my earplugs in, I slept like a baby til breakfast. The sound machine probably comes in handy during winter when you're not using the a/c.
There is a large courtyard outside with a pretty garden and swing and chairs to relax, read, and chat with guests. The resident orange tabby cat was spotted a few times running away from people. Other guests were friendly - breakfast felt like a warm hostel, but with middle-aged people. The location was really great, within walking distance of Magazine Street. It was a nice area of the Garden District, with lots of restaurants, cafes, and shops and not as crazy and touristy as the French Quarter.
Rates are $140-160 per night, inclusive of tax. Street parking/couple of off-street spots, wi-fi & Ethernet Internet connection, and breakfast all included. I would love to come back here!
