This is an update an on earlier review. Since June 2008, I have emailed the management at least 5 times asking them to reimburse part of my stay or to at least have the general manager contact me, and he has not done so. My husband and I have stayed at the Whitney quite a few times over the last... more

This hotel is in need of major updating. My husband stayed there as a recruit to USC a number of years ago. He said it was nice then, but I certainly hope they don't host recruits at The Whitney these days. It's unfortunate since it has the potential to be a great hotel. Positives: The two bedroom suites were nice... more

The Whitney Hotel is not a bad place to stay. A very good value for your money. We were in town for our son's boot camp graduation from Fort Jackson, and all wanted to be in one room. We had two teenage boys, my mother, husband and myself. The convience was very nice for us. The staff was very nice... more

Hotel is clean and is in a great location close to the five points area, However as per other reviews there is no doubt the rooms could do with being refurbished. more

This hotel is the pits. It looks great from the outside and the ground floor. It ends there. It probably was a great deal in days gone by. I was surprised by seeing wall paper peeling from the walls in the hallway. When i got to my room I was disappointed. At first I thought "Is this supposed to be... more

I am sure at one time this was a nice place, but it has not been maintained or upgraded. We stayed in a one bedroom suite. The bathroom cabinets had paint peeling/missing chunks of paint. The wallpaper was peeling. The stack washer/dryer was missing knobs and you could only wash in extremely hot water. The lineoleum of the laundry area... more

Converted to a hotel from an apartment complex. Clean, large rooms. Quiet. Housekeeping was not the best, but follow up care fixed any issues. No complaints. more

I am not sure where the people who wrote the negative reviews stayed but it could not have been the Whitney Hotel in Columbia, SC. My wife & I stayed there Christmas eve and it could not have been better. The three room suite was very clean, very nice furnishings, good bed, and the kitchen was well provided with all... more

We booked our stay at The Whitney several months ago. My husband stayed there several years ago, and left with a favorable impression. However shortly before our trip last weekend, I read the Trip Advisor reviews & was skeptical at best. The exterior grounds looked very nice and the location is excellent. Our room was large (2 bedroom suite), the... more

The two bedroom suite we stayed in on the first floor was in rough shape. The walls in all rooms are scuffed, missing mirrors showed hooks on the walls, the one bathroom seems like urine, the bathroom ceiling fans were caked with dust and didn't vent very well when showering. The kitchen had only only a few silverware pieces, one... more
