"Under the Spreading Oak" Old Castillo Bed & Breakfast Tip by grandmaR

I have not stayed at this place, but it seems to be a right casual and laid back operation. There was a sign on the door saying telling you that if you wanted to stay there to call a number.

The 1829 Greek Revival 3-story brick building, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Homes since 1978. In the 19th century when travelers came to St. Martinville by river, the hotel had one of the area's most luxurious ballrooms and was the setting for community activities. When steamboat travel gave way to the railroads, the old hotel was sold to the Sisters of Mercy, who operated the Convent of Mercy School there for almost 90 years. It is said to be the only surviving example of the type hotel that served the trade along Bayou Teche during the era of steamboat transportation.
