What Our Guests Say

Home Our Rooms Location Maps Reservation Policies Meet Your Hosts What They Say Gustav 2008 Blog

Before starting our bed and breakfast, we talked with other b&b owners about their experiences. All of them have horror stories to tell. We know it's bound to happen eventually, but we have been very fortunate to have had many wonderful guest experiences so far in this adventure. We'd like to share some of what they've had to say about their time at Chez Palmiers and in New Orleans. 

Dear Schuyler & David!  

Thank you so much for the time in the Loft Room!!  What a great space!!  The last 2 days I stayed in Holy Cross were also great!  I wish I was still there. Thank you for being up early so I could have coffee and treats before I had to leave each day! You two are wonderful!!...i heard that it is really cold now, so hopefully you are warm enough!  Thank you again!  When I come back I will see if you have space available!  Happy New Year!  Che'
May Peace & Justice Prevail on Earth.

Dear David and Schuyler,
 
Jano and I wanted to say thanks again for such a nice time staying at your B&B. We were very impressed with the whole experience, from the
well thought out list of local businesses to your regular availability in person and by cell phone to help us with the details of our stay. We really had an excellent time and that was in large part due to knowing that we had such a lovely "home" while there.
 
David, hope you're fully recovered and back to normal after your surgery!
 
We hope to see you both next time we're there.
 
All the Best,
 
Roddy + Jano - New York

Hi Schuyler and David. 

Thank you for a wonderful stay in New Orleans. We really enjoyed the unique and fantastic atmosphere of the city, the laid back attitude of the people we met, and the beautiful weather ( almost every day ). Not to mention JAZZ! We all agree that New Orleans is something really special and we sure hope to be back again some day. And the natural choice of place to stay will definitely be with you guys, since we couldn’t help falling in love with your little cozy Bed and Breaky. We enjoyed your great hospitality but do feel the need to apologize about the huge amounts of cereal we ended up consuming. …..”what can we say, we used to be vikings”. 

Hope you are both doing well and hope to see you again some day in the future.

This place is not only great, your hosts David and Schuyler are wonderful. One does not need to be told that this is their home, you can feel that. I recently visited NOLA for Jazz Fest 08. We were comfortable from the start. One of the woman that I was traveling with ended up quite ill. David provided all the information for her to seek medical help.This place is tops. Great coffee and better yet two new friends. Hats off. Thanks - Barbara, Mansfield,Pa

We had a wonderful time during a long weekend stay. The location is great, in a residential area in between the French Quarter & Frenchman St. It's a good place to mix with locals. Be sure & try Buffa's & Checkpoint Charlies in the Frenchman area., Everything is within easy walking distance. We stayed in the Grande Suite which is lovely & very comfortable. The relaxing pool area is a great place to chill out. Schuyler & David are excellent hosts, very helpful & fun to visit with. They also do a very nice breakfast set up. We can't wait to stay again.

Just returned from a business trip to New Orleans and a stay at the lovely Chez Palmiers Bed and Breakfast. The B&B was one of the most welcoming accomodations I have ever stayed at and the conditions were extremely comfortable , clean and nicely decorated.The Loft Suite was exactly as described on the B&B website. While the location is a little distance form the centre (that is why I gave this a 4 and not a five star rating) for myself, this was actually a plus rather than a minus. The neighbourhood was very quiet ,in stark contrast to downtown and was therefore pleasant and relaxing....and guaranteed a good night of sleep. I look forward to staying at Chez Palmiers again, this time with my hubby. Thank you, David and Schuyler and hope that Wampus your cat is feeling better!

We just returned from a 5 night stay at Chez Palmiers and couldn't have been more pleased. It was close to many attractions, but far enough from the Quarter to get peace and quiet when needed. The rooms were very comfortable and nicely decorated and the pool was an added plus. Schuyler & Dave were perfect hosts. We can't wait to go back! SHARON, NEW CASTLE, DE

Two friends and I stayed in Schuyler and David's wonderful b & b over our spring break, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our hosts were wonderfully attentive and helpful - they even provided us with a detailed list of dining recommendations that we consulted for the majority of our trip. My friends and I came without a set itinerary, and Schuyler and David went above and beyond to suggest things we could do and see, tailored specifically to our interests. The room was sizeable, filled with interesting trinkets and lovely books, and everything was just spotless. The room even came with a microwave and a mini fridge, which was a surprise. The entire b & b is very quiet, relaxing and charming, with a lovely pool in the back and a seating area. The b & b itself was very well-located and just a stone's throw away from the French Quarter. Breakfast always came with interesting breads and all kinds of spreads, fresh coffee, milk, juice, yoghurt ... just a wonderful spread to wake up too. All in all, one of the best experiences I've had in a b & b. You really feel at home here, and its a fantastic way to see New Orleans.

We all know that B&B's go by different rules than your average corporate hotel/motel which is why we prefer staying at them. We inadvertently broke one of these rules showing up as we had just driven 12 hours from Charlotte and arrived much later than expected at midnight. Luckily, our friends were also staying here and they let us in. Otherwise we would have had to ring the doorbell and wake the whole place up, including Schuyler & David, the innkeepers who had to work the next day. We were so tired, and so beat from that drive, we just wanted to go to bed when we arrived. We stayed in the Blah-Blah room and there was nothing blah-blah about it. It was hands down the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We turned on the A/C and passed out. We woke up the next morning and after showering in the immaculately clean shower and bathroom, stumbled in and felt right at home in the kitchen where fresh coffee, bagels, David's homemade granola and friendly other guests were gathered around the table beginning their day. We took off to explore the city after breakfast - everything is in easy walking distance. I could not get over how clean the entire place was. And quiet. It felt like home. We didn't get to actually meet David and Schuyler until two days in as our schedules conflicted, but we had a great brief conversation with them while sitting by the pool before dinner one evening. They are so helpful, handing out recommendations for dining, shopping and whatever it is you want to do. David even printed us out some directions to Jacques Imo with a map. The pool was a really nice touch and I imagine an oasis on a very hot day. The decor was authentic New Orleans mixed in with some great antiques. I would recommend Chez Palmiers any day.

The Chez Palmiers is WONDEFUL! Not only is it a fabulous location (Port of Call is basically across the street, the market and Cafe du Monde about a 5 minute walk), David andSchuyler are the best hosts you could ask for. They really were like staying with friends you had known forever. My friends and I would get up early just to hang out and have coffee and converstion with them. Whether you are new to the city or it's an old favorite, like it was for us, I defiinately recommend these guys! The house is beautiful, the beds are oh so comfy, and it's just a great way to experience NO. I can't wait to stay with them again!! They will always be my first choice for my trips to the Quarter. Thanks again guys!!! YOU WERE GREAT!

We stayed an entire week at Chez Palmiers. The house is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and you couldn't ask for better hosts than David and Schuyler. They go out of their way to make your stay in New Orleans a very memorable one!! Hope to stay again in the future. Donna, Lafayette, LA
