The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

The Whitehall Hotel, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good
"Great location - block from Hancock building. Great bakery off lobby. Concerned about security at night. No one at front desk after 9:30pm?!? Food delivery guy left food on desk? And elevator does not have any kind of security for a 4 star hotel?!!safe area, but…. Also, bathroom needs update! Toilet is so low to the ground! Old style! Yellowing toilet seat! Wallpaper peeling at seam. Brass detail on faucet going green! Room is clean, roomy and all amenities like fridge, safe, 2 Luggage racks (great) but also wallpaper is coming apart at seam! No water bottles! Maybe due for some updates?!?"
