My biggest complaint is more with how Whitehall was listed on Expedia. The property did not have complimentary breakfast which is what I searched for on Expedia. In addition parking was an additional $40 a night which is not mentioned anywhere on Expedia that I could see.

Unfortunately, I want to write a better review due to the staffs service. The staff all around was awesome. Unfortunately the hotel itself is outdated and in need of repairs that are easily visible.

The lobby was beautiful, the staff was so nice, and it was so easy to get an Uber at any time. The rooms were just a bit outdated, but they had everything we needed, and overall, we had a great stay.

Sotherly Charm in Houston

An amazing stay that I would easily recommend to anyone who asked, the amenities always stay above the rest. This Sotherly host makes traveling a breeze and is definitely my first choice when traveling.

Good hotel but needs some updating

The young man’s hair that checked us in was long over his face that we couldn’t understand what he was saying. The walls and furniture in our hallway of our floor were bumped or scraped. It was below freezing during our stay and there were only thin blankets on the bed. We had to turn up the heat. The tissues in our bathroom smelt like vomit. Breakfast was okay but the service was very nice. I did enjoy my complementary drink.
