Disliked: Amenities
The room is nice and so is the young person whom which graduated from Yale covering every angle on Sunday nights. Aside from that, BEWARE of parking, organization, diligence, overall competence of desk/management. We valeted our rental car as we all know Charles street is a nightmare. The hotel, “has no control and has nothing to do,” with the valet even though the convenient VALET cone sits gingerly in front of the front doors. Our RENTAL car was stuck on a freight elevator, no answers for over an hour just stuck sitting. With no coordination and being told to sit tight and pray until 5:15pm, the car magically arrived. We got about .25 miles away and received another call by the hotel asking if we found the valet key ring!! ABSOLUTE DISASTER do not pay or park there, quite frankly even though the hotel Is nice nothing worth this chaos. I had to pay for a half a** coffee amidst this chaos. Zero ownership for errors, BEWARE!!

Super getaway

Highly recommend the Whitney. So comfy and quiet luxe. Location is spot on. Mattresses and bedding exceptional. Lovely showers. Staff was fantastic (shout out to the brunette at the front desk during the day she was so great). Beautiful little courtyard. Nice extras like gourmet treats at turndown and snacks on each floor.

A prime scenic location for meals, parks and local shops. Hotel itself was spacious and beautiful. They also leave snacks like fruit and cookies out to take. Attentive staff - would definitely come back.
