“Not very good”

Chateau Dupre Hotel

2 of 5 stars
Saint Louis, Missouri
Mar 11, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone other than someone who desperately wants to stay in the French Quarter and can't afford to stay anywhere else. We stayed for Mardi Gras 2008. First, the elevator - tiny, slow, etc. There's no way to access the stairwell from the first floor even though we were only staying on the second floor.

Our room was not great. There was a very long, very narrow hallway at the entrance, and then the room itself was not very big. It had very high ceilings, which I guess could be nice. We had a pleasant view of an alley and constant noise from workers outside. The beds were not very comfortable - we had two double beds and one of the beds dipped in the middle. The bathroom was alright. But there is no room anywhere to put things - no shelves in the bathroom, and the sink is tiny so there's no room there. And in the main part of the hotel room, there is just one small table where the phone, clock, lamp, etc, is, and no other table or desk to put anything. Very inconvenient!

The breakfast was horrendous! We picked this hotel over a similarly priced one just because it had a free breakfast. But when we went down, there were a couple stale biscuits on a plate and a few pieces of melon, and very bad coffee. We wandered into the main part of the restaurant and thought that was the breakfast - eggs, sausage, bacon, breakfast potatoes, it looked great - but you had to pay for that one! The free breakfast for hotel patrons looked like the prior day's leftovers from the nice breakfast for paying restaurant customers.

The only good thing about the hotel is its location, which is close enough to everything for Mardi Gras but still far enough out of the way that you don't have to deal with drunk loud people at all hours.

If you stay here, I'd suggest parking at Harrah's - it's a couple of blocks to walk, but if you play at Harrah's for 30 minutes (and you can do penny slots for 30 minutes) you can park for free as opposed to the $25 or $30 rate the hotel charged each day!

“Terrible!!!! Customer service is a foreign concept to the "Chateau Dupre"”

Chateau Dupre Hotel

Mar 10, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

My confirmed reservation rate was different from the rate quoted to me at the front desk. Front desk was slow and very, very rude to me, specially the Front Desk Manager named Monica. We checked out and went to the Marriott (So nice!! Good views).

The room at the "chateau" weew ugly, glommy and the view was awful!!!! No remote control in the room and the Valet parking is a joke!!!!!!

Don't make the same mistake I made!!!! The hotel is is more a motel and never, not even in my wildest dreams ( and I have some wild ones), I would have called this hotel a Chateau.

STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!!!!!!!

“Charming experience”

Chateau Dupre Hotel

2/2 found this review helpful

Great location to French quarter, shops, restaurants, and other sites. The hotel is very European in atmosphere and decoration. The Staff was helpful and pleasant! If you have a vehicle, pay the extra for Valet parking; it is worth it. Charming and clean. We will stay there again.

“DONT STAY HERE!!!!!!”

Chateau Dupre Hotel

Feb 7, 2008

I would like to inform you that Chateau Dupre was the worst hotel I ever stayed at. The employees had NO professionalism nor any business ethics. You guys should be embrassed to considered Chateau Dupre one of "New Orleans Fine Hotels". The concierges (Solita and some spanish lady) were disrespectful and even called my room threatening me. Is this the way New Orleans would like to be known as "Ghetto"? Even a one star hotels in New York treat their guest like human beings and not as animals. I am highly insulted and I feel that I got ripped-off from my money. The pictures on the internet don't even compare to what we had. I felt like I was staying at a dirty motel-8. I will be sure that my experience will be spread all over the internet, so other people will not experience what I experienced.
Regards,
Frustrated Guest.

“Not very nice, definitely not a three-star hotel”

Chateau Dupre Hotel

2 of 5 stars
Cincinnati, Ohio
Jan 20, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I used Hotwire and got a $62 rate for a Saturday and Sunday stay. I knew the hotel wouldn't be luxurious, but it certainly was not the three-star hotel Hotwire claims.

I would much rather be in a Hampton Inn, because their product is much nicer than this old property in the French Quarter. The location is good, but other than that, it leaves much to be desired even at $62 a night.

There is no soundproofing in the hotel. From my room on the third floor it felt like I was on the street it was so loud. The room is beat up and the floorboards creek whenever you walk on them. The hotel is smoky on the floors. My fleece blanket had several holes in it. The housekeeping did a very poor job replacing towels.

It's just not the type of place I want to come back to or recommend to others. Just to let you know they tack on a $4.95/day phone/internet charge and a $2.95 safe charge whether you use them or not.

There are lots of hotels in New Orleans, don't pick this one.
