Our stay at the Whitney started off well enough. The room was small but quaint and we knew we would not be spending much time there. It was when we returned to the room the next day after a fabulous day touring NOLA to find a letter from housekeeping stating we were being charged $200.00 for blood on the sheets!... more

We recently stayed 2 nights at the Wyndham Whitney Historic Hotel in New Orleans. What a wonderful stay! We won this hotel on Priceline for a very reasonable rate. Yet, when I read the reviews on TripAdvisor I had second thoughts but boy am I glad I had a chance to see the hotel for myself. There are a lot... more

Got this room thru Hotwire, so I guess I can't complain, but was given the smallest room known to mankind, like a 13x13 size, window looks out into a crack between the buildings altho I requested a street view. Rooms clean, bathrooms ok. AC broke after first day, miserable conditions, came back to room at 430pm, to find nothing had... more

This was a decent place for a business stay. Friendly staff, excellent location, clean and with good air conditioning to withstand NOLA's Summer heat. It has a few shortcomings: You gotta' pay for your own parking (almost 30 bucks Valet, though I recommend paying 15 US$ at the parking lot around the corner), and for internet (U$ 9.95, and it... more

My husband and I flew to New Orleans for Mardi Gras 2008. This was our 4th vacation trip to New Orleans, our favorite vacation spot, but only our first Mardi Gras. Because my arthritis has gotten progressive worse and I have a hard time walking, we decided to stay closer to the parade route on St Charles instead of in... more

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... more

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... more

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.... more

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")... more

The Whitney is in an area where its surrounded by some very nice hotels, so it needs something to stand out. The lobby of the hotel is really beautiful, as is the resturant. The rooms are clean, average sized with larger bathrooms. The 'standout' at this hotel is the employees who went out-of-the way to be friendly/helpful. (Front desk clerks... more
