A grand hotel in every sense of the word - truly magnificent. My room was very large and nicely decorated. The hotel restaurant, Le Cavalier, was very good with excellent service. Hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend the hotel and plan to return.

Hotel Du Pont wowed us! Last minute find and we loved every minute. Staff was wonderful. The property is absolutely beautiful! We used valet parking, interacted with front desk, went to the bar and restaurant. ALL the staff was wonderful! We walked to the river walk , market place, and a margarita place that front desk suggested. This is a great get away area.

Enjoyed our weekend stay at the lovely Hotel du Pont. Great location within easy walking distance of some great restaurants/cafes/bars and the riverfront. We booked the luxury king and were not disappointed. Staff was friendly, valet was easy to use.

I stayed two nights and the room was never turned over or trash removed. It was very disappointing and the desk staff could not provide a clear reason for this or attempted an apology

We ;had a lovely room and the staff were all very nice. We did experience no housekeeping for 2 days but that may be because we did not specifically ask for it at check in. The last day we were without hot water but we were checking out and did advise the front desk. I am sure they took care of that.
