No frills but great location- very pleased

We had a great stay at The Whitney. The location was perfect for our girlfriends getaway weekend-- quick walk to the French Quarter, short uber to Frenchman Street, right next to the St. Charles Streetcar. Our favorite, though, was the French Truck Coffee right next door, which supplied us with delicious coffee and breakfast sandwiches every morning. The room at the hotel was a weird layout... a kind suite, which meant two full bedrooms and a bathroom (no mini fridge or couch), which worked for us (but wouldn't have for a couple). Also, they didn't service our room every day, which was odd. Nevertheless, it served it's purpose, and we both slept great.

We only stayed one night but had a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The common areas were clean and quiet. The rooms were clean, there was some noise from the outside and the hall but nothing I couldn’t handle. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Location But Short On Amenities

Overall I suppose it was o.k. Kind of hard to get really excited about the pathetically undersized so called continental breakfast, the drain in the tub that didn't quite work or the headboard that fell from the wall. Chair in the room was old and beat up. All for $300 a night. We've had much better than this. It is basically a 2.5 star hotel trying to justify inflated rates with a historic building and a good location, Coffee in the room was good though!

Downtown NOLA

This hotel is located in the business district and is walking distance to the French Quarter and other attractions. It is an old bank building with ornate design elements. It’s has been updated for comfort but still an old building structure. The location is the best attribute. There are little to no amenities. There is valet parking for approximately $30/day.

The hotel is not your typical hotel. It's an old band, with the vault still visible. If you are looking for a 21st century hotel, this isn't it. If you want to feel valued, this is the place.
