The Whitehall Hotel7.8/10 ratingout of 91 reviewsDowntown Chicago · €113 avg price/ night
This is an historic building, so it is old. But it is kept up fairly well, and the rooms are very nice. Large TV, fully tiled bathrooms, very comfortable beds. The only thing that kept me from giving an excellent rating is that the hotel seems fairly thin on staff. No real concierge, no doorperson, no daily room service. And the restaurants that were off the lobby are all closed. I get it — post COVID. Would I stay again? Definitely. The location and room quality make this a great value.
