The property is quite unique with history. Linda was so sweet and friendly and she gave us excellent recommendations for entertainment and dining. The restaurant right across the street, Spahr’s had an excellent breakfast with good ole Cajun dishes. When staying at Dansereau House make sure and take a peak at the beautiful bridal suites and have Linda tell you some ghost stories

One night in Thibodaux

Note when booking that this is not a full-time staffed B&B. I did not receive check-in instructions from Hotels.com, so make sure you contact the property directly the day before you plan to arrive. Once I was able to contact the inn keeper, I was able to check-in early. The room was great and the veranda is a great spot to hang out and have an afternoon beverage during the typical afternoon thunderstorms. Just blocks to a couple of restaurants, I had lunch at Spahr's and dinner at Fremin's.

A améliorer

Quand vous arrivez devant la maison Dansereau, c est un wouah, mais quand vous approchez la deception est là. La maison aurait besoin d une serieuse renovation. A la porte, une affiche vous invite a vous rendre a l arrière de la maison pour garer la voiture. La c est une honte un vrai depotoir. De plus vous devez envoyer un message la veille pour obtenir les consignes d entrée dans les lieux. Impossible, le site de messagerie hotels.com ne fonctionnait pas. Sur la reservation, il y a un numero, vous tombez sur un repondeur qui coupe tout de suite. 4 appels, plutôt genant quand on est français et qu on appelle aux USA. Nous avons du contacter le service clientèle Hotels.com qui nous a dépanné en telephonant a la maison Dansereau. Heureusement ils ont eu la personne qui assure le service. Il faut savoir que les clés sont dans une enveloppe a notre nom, coincé dans la porte arrière. La responsable m a dit avoir envoyé un mail qui pour information est arrivé sur ma boite mail 3 jours après la date de notre arrivée. Donc quand même déçu de la formule Ceci dit la dame qui est présente a certaines heures est tres gentille et nous a préparé un bon petit déjeuner

Great Stay

House was nice, and quiet the whole stay. Linda the Innkeeper gave us an upgrade on our room and allowed us to check in early. Since I have family in Thibodaux, we will most likely be staying at The Dansereau House for our visits from now on.

Historical Home. I grew up in Thibodaux and loved the architecture of this home when I was a kid. It also was close to old friends in the neighborhood and my high school reunion location, The Foundry.

Orida

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Although the property was saturated with beautiful antiques, I felt uncomfortable with no staff on site and with the fact that our keys for entrance were taped to the outside of a door. The amenities I was expecting were nowhere to be found — no bottled water, no tea, no coffee. The kitchen seemed to be stacked with boxes but there was no one to greet us in person during our stay and no beverages made clearly accessible to us. I made arrangements for a bed and breakfast well enough in advance and I did not leave with the feeling that this establishment was prepared to receive us.

The house is shabby outside. When we got there the door was locked. Keys and check in details were taped to the back door. Rooms, linens, a.c. were good. Location was good. Hostess was very accomodating for early breakfast and departure. Building tour would have been nice. Wont stay again.

The Dansereau House, Thibodaux

This is not a holiday inn, it is a bed and breakfast, so you have to remember that. Having said that, there were a few things that I would expect to be there that were not, for example we had a coffee machine pushed to the back of a cupboard, but no coffee, or even mugs. We stayed in the Evangeline room and had a few minor problems. The air conditioning unit which is located high up on the wall could not be switched off, so every now and then switched itself on and off. Mentioned to owner but apparently that is how works and cannot be turned off to get a quiet night. There is a door leading to the outside balcony which has a glass panel above it, no curtain so in the morning light floods in the room. There is a good restaurant literally two minutes walk called Spahrs. Breakfast although basic was very good.

Nice place but Expedia had room listed a handicapped accessible- NOT at all! All rooms upstairs. Not ideal but we were able to make it work. The house was generous to offer free cancellation but we were able to stay but I would not recommend for those liking for handicap accessible rooms.

This place was so disappointing! The exterior was depressing and run down. There was no one to greet us; an envelop with our key was stuck on the outside door. Did not see another soul during our stay. The inside was dingy. The house smelled so musty I woke up gagging at 4:30 am. But what happened to the second B in B & B? This was our 15th day traveling from SC to AZ and this stay was on our return trip east - using COVID as an excuse to not even have a cup of coffee available??? Breakfast was available in EVERY hotel along the way - I think the proprietor was just lazy to have to be there for one or two guests! Was very happy to leave! Should have stayed at the Hampton Inn! The picture posted on the website must have been taken 30 years ago...

The house is very impressive on the outside and inside. I love old buildings like this with a good story to tell. Walking into the building was even more impressive. The architecture of this place is one of a kind. I love the wrap around balcony, great for sitting outside enjoying the birds singing--even got to see the mamma bird making a nest and feeding her baby on the balcony column. The dissapointing thing about this place is the cleanliness. Mold growing on the ceiling, the curtains probably never got washed since this place was first opened. Dust everywhere on the air conditioner. The room smelled very musty, we only stayed in the room for sleeping. Most of the time we were out in the balcony even though the heat was beating down on us. As much as I admire the house I don't recommend staying because of the cleanliness. This building could use a fresh coat of paint and some serious cleaning up.
