We stayed at the Chimes B & B for four days over Christmas 2012. We had one room and a second large room was for our daughter and her family, including twin 17 year-old boys. It was an excellent experience, with hostess Jill providing marked local maps that were helpful and delicious breakfasts. Jill also provided restaurant information which proved quite helpful, as well as suggestions on places to go for jazz. The rooms were very good and everything worked well. I highly recommend the Chimes and would stay there again if we come back to New Orleans. We also found the location to be very convenient for our purposes. There was a parking place for us which helped a lot since we did quite a bit of driving.

We had a lovely weekend at Chimes, thanks to Jill and the beautiful Garden District setting. She had great tips for us on the music scene, and Magazine Street options (Tipitina's, La Petite Grocery) are in walking distance. Looking forward to a return visit sometime in the future!

I loved The Chimes. The environment is just so pleasant and restful. So much thought has been put into making sure that the guest are comfortable and happy. The hosts went out of their way to help with directions and information about restaurants, shops and siteseeing.I loved the room and the garden area. I can't wait until my next visit.

We stayed just one night in room 1 at the Chimes. It was a perfect room and location for 4 of us.
Jill and her husband are great, knowledgable hosts. We parked our cars and didn't need to drive at all. We walked to Magazine Street for dinner. There are plenty of choices there. We took at cab to and from Bourbon St.
The courtyard is beautiful. If we were there for a longer stay, I could see us having happy hour or our morning coffee there.
Our breakfast hit the spot. We enjoyed that before heading out for local cuisine.
We liked the quiet, community location, as this is a welcomed contrast to Bourbon St.
Should we be fortunate enough to visit New Orleans again, we will definitely stay at Chimes!
