What reviewers say

Visitors appreciate the historic charm and cleanliness of The Whitehall, with some noting excellent air conditioning and refrigerators. However, many guests complain about the age of the building, citing issues like noise from single-pane windows, thin walls, and small, oddly laid-out rooms with limited space for toiletries.

About this place The Whitehall

The Whitehall is a mainstream, gay-friendly hotel at 1700 Smith Street in downtown Houston. It is a full-size city hotel used by business and convention travellers, and it is popular: Google reviews average 4.5 from more than 4,000. Downtown Houston is quiet in the evenings outside the theater district and sports venues. Montrose, the city's gay neighbourhood with most of its LGBTQ bars and restaurants, is roughly 10 to 15 minutes away by car, so you will want a rideshare at night. Check with the hotel about parking fees and on-site facilities when you book.

The customer service was outstanding. John was exceptionally courteous and made a point to greet me each time we crossed paths. While the rooms are somewhat dated and could use some updating, they were clean and well-maintained. I was not satisfied with my initial room; however, John promptly accommodated my request and moved me to a more suitable room without hesitation.

Definitely the fanciest place we've stayed, so didn't know what to expect. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Ana Maria at the front desk was very helpful, Nadia and Valerie in Edgar's Hermano were super friendly with fantastic service (the food and drinks were great too). I didn't get the names of the valet fellas, but they were very helpful as well. Literally my only complaint is that we had to ask for a fridge in the room, but even that was remedied quickly. Overall would definitely be happy to stay here again.
