The hotel was beautiful. The afternoon staff was very helpful when I arrived, but unfortunately, the staff in the early morning did not seem very friendly. During my checkout as well, it seemed as if the staff did not want to help in offering directions.

Whitehall one night stay for downtown event

First time staying, it was conveniently located to the event we were attending. Easy in Easy out, valet was good, we took lyfts from the hotel, easy. restaurant on the 2nd floor had really good food and cocktails. Room was comfortable, we did get two double beds instead of a King, but that was not the hotel's fault, I selected any available. Our room was a little noisy due to the interstate proximaty, but not bad. A/C was nice and cold. My only complaint on the room was the bathroom was on the small side. I would stay here again, and likely will in the future.
