The first view of the Whitney is interesting ; a smaller, older senior citizen of a hotel surrounded by its taller, younger , more modern siblings. When you first walk in you are surrounded by images of it's former use as a bank. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a small suite which was quite lovely. Our room overlooked over the street and for some reason there seemed to be a lot of emergency vehicles during the time we were there so it was quite noisy but otherwise we quite enjoyed our stay . The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again.

The hotel is older, but clean and well maintained. However, it does lack restaurant/bar facilities which I like to use when I stay at a hotel. Room was clean and plenty big enough. Location is good for downtown and the French quarter. Quiet at night. Good value for money.
