Stayed there Weds night. Upon checking in, front desk clerk was on cell phone with someone. It laid it down to help me. Hallways had a nice smell and were clean. Room was musty and had 1978 furniture in it. Wouldn't dare sit on couch as it was old and stained with something. Bathroom was clean and everything worked well.... More

Stayed here for BCT graduation. The place was very clean, linen was all almost brand new, free full breakfast was good a different main item every morning. The furnishings are a lil bit old/dated but still very nice. We booked a one bedroom suite and they moved us up to a 2 bedroom suite for free. They had a billing... More

The Whitney is in a good location with a cool bar across the street. The room was actually a 2br and seemed more like an extended stay type apartment. The bedding wasn't plush, nor were the amenities, but the staff was extremely friendly and I felt safe at this hotel. More

The Whitney was the hotel Priceline gave me as a "name your own price" 3-star hotel. I travel a lot and though The Whitney is a descent hotel, it is definitely not a 3-star hotel. They have redone the facade to make the hotel appear to be a newer hotel. However, that is where the newness ends. The interior of... More

The Whitney is in a convenient, great location, surrounded by cute shops and a great burger joint. We needed a place with two bedrooms and found it to be more than adequate--two bedrooms, a kitchenette and two bathrooms for an amazing price (which included breakfast). All the employees we encountered were unfailingly cheerful and helpful. Our rooms were clean and... More

Various members of my family stay at The Whitney each year in May for a family celebration. It is a convenient location for us as some of our family lives in Shandon and we can walk back and forth between family houses and the hotel. The rooms are spacious and having a full kitchen and washer/dryer is a real plus.... More

It's a nice property in a great location. It needs major renovations from carpet to mattresses. We had a guest that didn't check in this past Thanksgiving due to its worn appearance. I thought it was okay, we used the limo service which is severely underpriced, but we appreciate any break in price. It served our purposes, a family get... More

Reading all the reviews, it appears that the Whitney has taken the negative reviiews of a few years ago to heart. The "much improved" Whitney is worth a second visit if you had a bad stay a few years ago. Yes, the furniture is still a little outdated, but the hotel is clean and comfortable. Convenient location and rate is... More

I was there for a Fort Jackson graduation. It was a comfortable hotel, worth the rate for the 2 bdrm suite, with 2full baths, full kitchen and living room, less then most regular 2dble bed room hotels. It was clean accomedations as well, not luxury and not advertised as such either. I found the bad reviews to be excessive and... More
