"Quaint and historic"
This is a nice hotel, especially at the price I paid through Priceline ($65) However it shouldn't be grouped equally with the Pavillon Hotel as a Boutique hotel - the latter clearly a 4 star - the Whitney a 3 star. However it did have a decent size room which is rare in the older hotels in New Orleans. The furniture, linens, granite bath countertops, soothing earth colors were all a plus. The only thing I missed was a nice entry/welcome area - most of the that was taken up by the restaurant which we did not get to try. We did not use their parking service. The hotel is about 5 blocks from Canal/Royal. It was quiet and the A/C was great. Outside temps in the 90's. They allowed a 2pm checkout. It presents itself very well from the street but for some crazy reason they built a generic highrise just a few feet off the back wall. I would stay here again but much rather would stay in the quarter itself.

"Great Hotel ! Convienent Quiet Location"
When my travel agent 1st recommended the Whitney and said the word "historic" I immediatley thought "small" , "dingy" and "cramped". I was pleasantly surprised. She had signed me up for the Wyndam By request program and there were cold beverages, cheese and crakers and a hand written note from the hotel manager welcoming me to New orleans waiting for me in the room. The rooms were unexpectedly roomy and well furnished. The hotel staff was very accommodating and helpful. It was about 5 blocks to the French Quarter and 4 to Harrahs casino and the waterfront. The restarant was not open yet due to the hurricane but there were plently of choices close by (The PoBoys at Mothers accross the street were AWESOME!) The hotel staff said that they were just completeling refurbishment of the last floor. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to be close to but not right in the middle of the craziness of the French Quarter. Very close to Harrahs if you like gambling and to the convention center mall for shopping. The travel agent (Julie at Carlson Travel 800-786-8711) also set up a Airboat Swamp tour with Airboat Adventures. What a great experience!! Not the typical canopy boat that holds 20 people- this airboat held 6 people and we went places that I am sure the other boat couldn't get too. Sam the captian was very knowledgable about the wildlife and terrain and would spend as much time as we wanted at the various locations that we visited. We saw MANY alligators, birds and other critters out there. $60pp for 2+ hours was well worth it.

"I loved it will stay again"
For our first visit back to the cresent city post Katrina it was a wonderful welcome back. Although it was a little more distant from bourbon street than we like, but still within walking distance, (about a 10 min walk or a 6 dollar cab ride). IT WAS WONDERFUL. it was very tastfully decorated. very quiet. we got a great rate through wyndham and was a bit sceptical at first because of the insanly low rate, but was more than thrilled with the results. Very courtious staff, valet was very effcient and timely even though you do have to pay $25 a day for parking and there is no other option but to have valet. I am always a bit preturbed by that with any hotel, i just think that if you are paying to stay at a hotel you should be able to park your car there for free, (i dunno may just be me) but the staff was wonderful. I would stay there again and probably for all of my future visits to NOLA I will stay at the Whitney.
