Hotel The Whitehall Houston (Houston, USA)

The hotel's convenient downtown location means that this is a perfect base from which to explore everything that Houston has to offer such as The Houston Zoo, the University of Houston, the NRG Stadium where you can see the Houston Texans or the BBVA Compass Stadium where you can catch a soccer match and see the Houston Dynamos. Within the vicinity of the hotel there are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.

The staff are very friendly and always willing to help and go the extra mile to make your stay more enjoyable. The have great knowledge of the local area and are always more than happy to recommend things to see and do in the area.

The rooms have everything that you could need for your stay with the quality of the coffee maker receiving particular praise from many previous guests. The hotel's facilities and services are also excellent with valet parking, shuttle service, an on-site restaurant, gym and pool.

Some rooms in the hotel are starting to look very tired and dated with old furniture and worn furnishings. There are reports that some rooms have already been refurbished with another phase of renovations to start in the near future.

According to reports from some previous guests the lobby area can get quite smelly and smoky as inconsiderate smokers smoke just outside of the main door so the smoke blows back into the building.

The walls seem to be quite thin so you may hear other guests in neighboring rooms or as they walk the corridors. Some rooms also get noise from the highway which may disturb your sleep, however there have been just as many positive reviews as there have been negative reporting that the hotel is quiet and noise is not an issue.
