The Whitney Hotel

Would Stay Again

Location, Value, Staff. We walked to the Riverwalk Outlets, Dragos, Harrahs Casino, Aquarium. We got a cab ride to the French Quarter and Bourbon St. The hotel was very clean and the suite was very spacious with 2 TV's. I loved the rich history of the building. It was originally a bank and still has the vault, teller service windows, etc on the lobby.

VERY noisy. I could hear a lot of hallway noise. Also, it may have just been the night we stayed (Thursday) but at 4:30 AM the city came down Poydras to empty the dumpsters (very loud) and it woke the toddler (sigh). That can possibly be chalked up to wrong place, wrong time but just be aware if you're staying on a Thursday night. Parking was too expensive but to be fair that's ALL hotels in the area. The hotel was once a bank so there are very few (if any) extras...no roomservice, no spa, etc.

The staff at the Whitney was very helpful and helped make our stay a very pleasant one. The hotel itself is fine. It is in a very old building (used to be a bank), so some features matched this: smaller rooms, etc. We were very pleased with the location too. The Whitney is located right on Poydras about 3 blocks over from the craziness of the French Quarter and about 4 blocks up from the River Walk or Convention Center. Easy to get everywhere quickly.

The rooms were smaller and not everything was clean & bright like you'd expect in a newer hotel. However, this was all just the nature of an older property. For the price you can't beat this place. Just know going in what to expect.

I like the location and the convenience to all attractions. The beds were extremely comfortable and relatively quiet.

The only complaint I had about the hotel was the toilet. It seemed to be broken towards the end of our trip and was making a clanking sound throughout the night. We told the front desk once when we checked out and she was nice and told us she would report it and if we would've come down earlier she would've switched our room. That was appreciated.

It was in walking distance to everything in the quarters, museums, casino etc... great location and very comfortable bed! Spacious room and bathroom.

It did not have a pool

Rooms are individual with character. Normal facilities built into this converted Bank, with 5 or 6 floors.
