“Hotel Du Pont presents a paradox of historic grandeur coupled with concerning signs of neglect. While its rich history and architectural beauty are clear draws, reports of poorly maintained bathrooms are unsettling, especially given the nightly rate; the hotel's engagement with the local community and prime location near attractions like the Grand Opera House suggest unrealized potential, leaving me wondering if a renovation is in order to revive its former glory.”
