My husband and I have stayed at the Whitney quite a few times over the last 15 years but had not been there in about 5 years. The last time we were there together, it was starting to seem rundown, and it was very noisy day and night due to a student football convention. I stayed there again for 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

Where do I even start...THE HOTEL IS NOT CLEAN The PICTURE says it all!! I stayed at the Whitney for eight days on business. The first night we stayed on the sixth floor we turned on the heat and later heard water pouring in the utility room to our surprise a pipe was open where the water was going into... more

All employees--there were a lot of them and they were very friendly. Ambiance--very noisy, did not sleep due to other guests talking on outside of balconies all night. Room--felt secure--comfortable bed, furniture looked very beat up/ very poor condition--walls in need of a good paint job--refrigerator not working/ outlet covers off in kitchen--cleanliness was OK-- bathroom amenities nice-internet did not... more

This is a hotel coasting on its reputation. The rooms are dire need of repainting and repair--there are numerous chips to the paint, marks on the wall, etc. In our living room area, a small painting was hanging only inches above the bar to hide a gash in the wall. The bathrooms are not particularly clean. There is also little... more

Absolutely gross. I checked into this hotel and 30 minutes later checked right back out. It was by far the worse hotel I've ever visited. The elevator (only one was functioning) stunk and the numbers to the floors were missing, the corridors were dirty and the wallpaper was peeling off. When I went into the room is smelled like mildew.... more

I thought the Whitney was a great place to stay. The rooms have full kitchens, it is convenient to some cool restaurants and has a capable staff. The breakfast is very nice as well. more

Quick, Comfortable Stay w/Privacy My family and I stayed two nights at The Whitney during Feb 08. The Whitney has ample and convenient parking, large, clean rooms with full kitchen and laundry room. Although clean, the rooms require some renovations, i.e carpet replacement, painting and repair of walls. Also, the hotel was very quiet and the staff was very accommodating.... more

Our suite was quite spacious and comfortable. The suite included a full kitchen and washer /dryer. The room was clean for the most part. The walls were very dirty and banged up. The bureaus and all the the rest of the wood furniture looked as though it had come from Salvation Army. It was all badly scratched and in disrepair.... more

I booked about 19 suites at the Whitney for a wedding weekend. I started my search in Dec., 2006 for a Sept., 2007 date. From the first contact, the staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. They were willing to "block" a group and add to it, as the needs arose. Since it was a home football game... more
