The Tante Huppé Inn is located in the heart of the Natchitoches Landmark Historic District. Natchitoches is the oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase Territory, having been founded by the French in 1714. It still remains as a museum city containing an Old World charm. Historic buildings of French, Spanish and early American architectural styles line the streets of the Historic District. A member of a prominent French family built the Tante Huppe Inn in 1830. Today it still portrays those Creole aristocrats who lived in the home for generations. The Tante Huppe Inn has three complete suites with kitchens, galleries, patio, and telephones and TV's in each room. Each suite will accommodate four persons. This charming historic house is only one block from Front Street, and has been completely restored with family heirlooms. All suites have private entrances and are appointed in contemporary furnishings. Tour this Historic Home during your visit. Enjoy a continental breakfast in the privacy of your own suite and the new grecian swimming pool.

We were excited to stay here and get to talk to the owner about Natchitoches. Firstly, the room (gallery) while large, was not well cleaned. He knew in advance we'd be using the sofa bed and when we checked in he told us it was clean and ready to go. But when we bedded down for the night, the sheets were obviously used, dirty and full of crumbs! The bedspreads and pillows were on the floor in the closet, and when I picked them up, they were full of chiggers and I got bit a few times before I realized what was happening and stuffed them back in the closet. They were also dirty and/or stained. We couldn't get a hold of the owner or anyone else because he was at a cocktail party that night.
So, I spent a cold night with no pillow or bedspread on dirty sheets. Yuck! The next morning we found out that, despite calling his inn a 'bed and breakfast', there was no breakfast, but rather, a tin of Folgers and a basket of Lil' Debbie snakcakes in the fridge. But we could have all we wanted! Yum! Yeeesh.
For shame, Tante Huppe Inn! I got the sense the owner was just paying for his lifestyle renting out the rooms, but had no true calling to hospitality. I won't be back.
