We recently stayed here and the state of this building is scary and too much for one maintenance man to keep up on, it must be a full time job just keeping up with everything falling apart. I will say this, the one saving grace was the staff, the staff is top notch and did everything they could to make... More

This is a hotel you do NOT want to visit! It is not clean, it is dark, dank and depressing and the price you have to pay for this is OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Stayed here 8 years ago when my now-husband and I were courting, so Chateau Dupre is very special to us. We returned last weekend and I was apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, fearing it had slid terribly downhill after Katrina. Well, it hasn't...it's as I remembered it: adequate rooms (our room this time wasn't large, but very high... More

First, the good news -- location, location, location. This hotel is right on Decatur St, near Canal. Which means that if you turn left out of the entrance and keep walking, you will find yourself at Jackson Square and the French Market. Or turn right and you'll get to Canal St., with all the souvenir shops your heart could desire.... More

The front desk people were exceptionally helpful and friendly with check-in, storing our luggage and helping pick out restaurants, tours and directions on maps. The room was all right, not horrible but average for a couple night stay before a cruise. The only complaint with our room was there could be better lighting and the curtains on the bottom had...
