The Whitehall Hotel

Sijainti aivan keskeisellä paikalla Magnificent Milen kupeessa ja hiekkarantakin n.500 metrin päässä. Henkilökunta erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias. Historiaa uhkuva hotelli.

Kattoterassista näkyy kuva hotellin esittelyssä, mutta sinne ei päässyt. Kattovalaistus puuttui ja pöytävalaisimien toiminta vaikutti vaaralliselta, koska katkaisijat olivat irti. Käytävässä hieman ummehtunut haju.

The location is perfect, close to Michigan Ave, good restayrants and supermarket.

I don’t have hair dryer in my room but my friend said she had one in her room.

We stayed at the Whitehall during our trip for the Chicago marathon so the location was perfect (but you are paying for location for sure here). The room we had was spacious and clean. Some staff were much friendlier than others (morning shift vs night shift). Complimentary tea and coffee in the morning.

The room smelled a bit damp and there was a lot of condensation on the windows. The room was a bit dated with cracked paint on the windowsill. No coffee or tea making facilities in the room. No special arrangements for the marathoners for food or coffee early on race day - only coffee, bananas and water starting at 5:45 which was too late for many runners (tip for the hotel: runners may want to eat 3 hours before race start- that’s 4:30 for the marathon). Also don’t get tricked into the hotel breakfast- it’s $14 but your complimentary coffee in the next room is NOT complimentary at breakfast- the hotel does not tell you this. Plus of course tax and tip not included. For the money you pay it’s likely 90% for location. It’s an ok hotel. I might spend a bit more to get a fresher room, better service and catering to marathon runners (they exist!)

Tired decor- no coffee or tea facilities in the room.
