There was no external lock to our room, which was okay as no one else was staying at the time, but good to have reassuring of personal belongings being safe. You can "lock" from inside the room using the hook and eye latch.

Glen was an excellent host, who was very informative and accommodating. The house was beautiful with lovely vintage decorations connecting to the Louisiana history. We stayed in the Garden Suite and it was lovely, with plenty of room & storage. Breakfast was great, Glen's dishes were always tasty and started the day well. With extras of cereal, coffee and some cakes available. Glen also had waters available and the bathroom shower was very nice.

My main meh-point was, that the room did not have a lock. There is a safe for valuables, nothing bad happened, and the other guests were super friendly, but it’s a recipe for theft at some point in the future. In the sense of “better safe than sorry” it would be great to have that changed. Same for the front door, which has to be locked manually when someone leaves, and someone will probably forget that at some point in time. There was a fridge with complementary drinks, which was very nice, but we drank like 15 small bottles of water. From an environmental perspective we would have preferred a refilling station. Last but not least the bus was only okayish in its reliability and came only every 30 minutes. Er ended up walking the distance to the French quarter several times. Nothing Glenn can do about this, but something to be aware of.

The house was beautiful, and Glenn was a nice host, who made tasty breakfast and always had an interesting story to tell. There was a wide variety of free drinks available, including tea, coffee and soft drinks.

The size of the television set.

The breakfasts are top of the drawer class. Snacks, water and sodas were always in the chiller.

It's a 150 year old house so temper expectations about state of the art facilities. We thought it brought character, others may disagree.

We had a wonderful stay. The Garden Room on the top floor had a great sitting patio for looking out over the pool and part of the city. The bed was sturdy and comfortable with great pillows. The double shower was huge and it is always nice to have a bidet in the bathroom. Glen was an excellent host and accommodated us as vegetarians with great meals every morning for us to get started. There was a convenient corner store across the street and a little coffee/snowcone stand just a block away. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

We really enjoyed everything, no complaints at all.

Beautifully aged. Lovely front porch swing, easy access to bus routes and wonderful backyard.

- Beautiful historic house and interior, nice pool and garden area, comfy bed and free parking - Frenchmen & Bourbon Street in walking distance - Glenn is a great host who takes very good care of his guest. He’s also preparing an outstanding breakfast every morning.

Beautiful historic house. Glen went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and gave us plenty of helpful recommendations for the area. We also got a free upgrade and enjoyed a lovely private balcony and en-suite bathroom. About half an hour walk to the centre of the French quarter, or a quick bus/taxi ride.

The only negative was the area/location, as is felt unsafe to walk back to the accommodation after dark. Also it wasn’t ideal that we couldn’t lock the room door when leaving the room.

Very traditional & a different experience. The host was incredibly attentive & there was lots of amenities. The pool is a big plus in the hot weather. The rooms were also clean & the bed was comfortable.

Love the pool and hot tub. Glen is really nice and friendly and makes kick-ass breakfast for you. The place is nicely located and you are quick and easy in downtown New Orleans. Theee are love restaurants and bit further up. Just ask Glen.

That I could not stay longer

I liked absolutely everything. The house is wonderful, interesting and very comfortable. The host of the house is also wonderful. He takes care of the guests in probably the best possible way. It is worth asking him about local attractions and places worth visiting. Delicious breakfasts even for vegetarians - very much appreciated and warmly greeted!

The HH Whitney House was a perfect home base for my first Mardi Gras. Glen made delightful breakfasts, provided excellent recommendations for things to do and see, and overall made me feel totally welcome.

Pool could have been a little cleaner, but we were not there to swim & it was at the end of the summer, so not an issue.

Very old fashioned & gives you a feeling of what NOLA would have been like back in the day!

Period furnishings. Good location for French quarter within a 30 minute walk. Very charming and helpful host. Home cooked breakfasts.

Glen was a great host! He was very welcoming and helpful when we were asking about different things to do or places to go for cuisine. The house is 158 YEARS OLD! Blew our minds. Breakfast was yummy and he always had fresh towels ready for us but didn't interfere during our stay in his home, and was always available if we needed him for whatever reason. We walked to the French Quarter everyday, only about 10-15min walk to get there. We also wanted somewhere that would accommodate a vehicle and he let us park it in his driveway! There was on street parking available as well sense we wanted to explore beyond only New Orleans during our stay. Next time we come back we want to bring our whole family and stay with Glen! 5 STARS!

Sincerely.... Nothing to say !

I would like to start by thanking Glen for his treatment, kindness and professionalism. Apart from the fact that he is a Michelin star chef prepared the breakfast. A dedication and a lot of love in those delicious breakfasts, with a perfect tie. Then, the house does not lack detail and the perfect location. Glen! Save us the bottle of Champaign we will be back!!! Thank you so much for everything ! Maryna & Jose

it was not very clean. bedroom floor was dirty and we saw a cockroach in the bathroom. also, there are no locks on the bedroom doors when you leave, although there is a safe to put valuables and it locks from the inside. it wasnt a terrible trip but I wouldn't stay there again.

breakfast was good, but pretty limited vegan options. the house had a historic feel to it.

The old house is in an awful location. Its a very dangerous walk to the main attractions. As soon as my brother and I walked in it smelled like cat pee. And the house seemed to be in a disorganized mess. Essentially there's no security for your belongings. And no proper lock on the room doors. The only assurance we had was the owner "doing this for 26 years". There is a safe in the room but that wasn't enough for me. The walk through and history given to us about the house was incredibly quick and vague. The owner was in a way rude to me and talked over me, called me by a different name. But for some reason he was more respectful of my brother, even though I'm the one that paid. I paid for us to stay in the larger room with the balcony, and that's the only way to get your own private bathroom in the house. There's no good view due to the location and the entire house you can feel is lop-sided while staying in that room. The small snack bar is available to all rooms and it was rarely replenished with a sufficient amount of coffee. The owner made a small breakfast for us but there's no organized system to it. The other bed and breakfasts I've stayed in have a slip you fill out and have a set time for each room. And the house needs to be updated severely. The owner I believe should take care to higher-out and have a team to help run the place sufficiently.

Not much.
