The Suite was a nice size. The robes were worn and one actually had a large hole in it. The front desk clerk said it was ok to wear and would attempt to get it replaced should another clean one become available. The Whitney is far away from anywhere to eat unless you are willing to walk and walk, especially through what appears to be an unsafe area. The internet service is terrible. I have stayed previously at The Whitney and unfortunately returned. Will not make the same mistake. The front desk staff leaves a lot to be desired. You can find a better hotel for less money, especially since it is so far from Bourbon Street.

I reserved my "queen" room for 2-weeknights through Priceline and when my husband & I checked in we were given a well worn room with 2-double beds and no windows. We asked for something else and they said "sorry all sold out". It was quiet because it didn't overlook the street but, beware if you are claustraphobic because many of the rooms in the back are directly up against another building. This was a slow week in New Orleans, no Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest either.

I stayed at the Whitney during a conference I attended in New Orleans. When my luggage went missing on my way over to New Orleans I was quite upset, but even more when I arrived at the hotel and they told me they were overbooked and one of our party (party of three) had to be relocated to another hotel. I wasn't very happy about this and my first impression of this hotel wasn't really great. The room was very spacious however and clean. The next morning the girl at the front desk was very helpful when I explained to her what happened and she proceeded to inform the hotel manager who went out of her way to help me call the airport to get information about my missing luggage further more she gave me some toiletries which came in very handy. The hotel staff was very helpful the days afterwards and went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend the Whitney!

I have been staying in the Whitney for 5 nights because I was attending a conference in New Orleans and was not very impressed. For the rate paid ($179/night) I'm sure I could have stayed in far nicer places. The room was comfortable enough, although the decor is a bit too oldfashioned for my taste (they call this "European style") and the bed covers were really quite old and should be replaced.
My biggest problem with this hotel were the services: virtually non-existing. There is a small restaurant that does not serve breakfast on Sundays (which is not great if you have just woken up with a jetlag..) and only opens for breakfast en lunch on other days. Breakfast was only a la carte (no buffet), limited choice and very average quality. Furthermore: no roomservice, no porter, no wireless internet, no pool, the computer and printer in the lobby were out of order during my whole stay, and very often there wasn't even anybody at the front desk.
All in all, I wouldn't stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone, because with the number of hotels in NOLA I'm sure that one could fine a much better deal.
