This is probably one of the best hostels I've stayed at in the U.S. I've stayed at this hostel twice now. The first time was in 2015 and the second time this past month for Market Days. Location: The hostel is centrally located in Downtown Chicago/the Loop. It's easily accessible to get to and from O'Hare Airport via the Blue Line which runs 24 hours. The closest CTA station is Jackson Station which also has connections to many other CTA lines. The hostel is also located within walking distance to many other tourist hotspots like Millennium Park, Broadway shows, Lou Malnati's Pizza (10 minutes), etc. There's also a CVS Pharmacy at the corner of the street that sells liquor and other essentials. On the weekday, the area is bustling with downtown workers, but on the weekends, it's like a ghost town. Most restaurants and stores close by 8/9pm. The only place to eat at if you have a late night is Taco Bell which closes at 2am. Another downside is that there are a lot of homeless people that have set up camp in front and around the hostel, so some people may feel unsafe walking around. Security: The property is very secure. There are multiple entry points to get into the hostel with a key card. There's another entry point to get access to the elevator banks that lead to the rooms as well as required card access to go upstairs and into the rooms. There's also a 24-hour front desk. This was a saving grace for me because my flight from New York was delayed that I ended up arriving at 3:30am. Keep in mind, if you plan to arrive after 3am, you should notify/call the front desk and let them know otherwise they'll mark you as a no-show and cancel your reservation. They also have storage lockers/a luggage room for a fee. Facilities/Amenities: My original reservation was for a 4-bed male dormitory, but there was someone sleeping in my assigned bunk. When you arrive, there is a fitted sheet, pillow sheets, a bath towel, and a face towel (no comforter). You are expected to make your bed. Since I arrived so late and my roommates were already asleep, the overnight staff (DJ) was nice enough to put me in an 8-bed dormitory that was unoccupied, so that I didn't wake up anyone. Both rooms were very spacious/high ceilings/massive windows with a lot of space to store luggage and walk around. All the rooms have lockers (bring your own lock or buy one at the front desk). In the 4-bed dorm, there is a common area with a kitchen/bathroom that connects with 2 suites. The 8-bed room is setup where the toilet, shower, and sink are all in separate areas instead of all in one room. The shower area has dispensers for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. There are also common showers and toilets on every floor. The downside of the dormitory is that you can't control the temperature of the room. Summers in Chicago are hot and humid and the room was kept in the 60s, which I loved. But, my roommates thought it was too cold for them. The WiFi access is very stable and fast. Th

We stayed for three nights in a King Studio room. It's a luxurious hotel with some standout features, particularly the comfortable beds and great views. While there were a few design quirks, they didn't detract too much from our overall experience. This hotel is an excellent choice for those wanting a high-end experience in a prime Chicago location, especially for longer stays where you can take advantage of the in-room amenities. What we liked best: + Prime location on Mag Mile near Starbucks Roastery and Trader Joe's + Stunning city views (our window looked out on Michigan Avenue) + Comfortable bed and pillows + Electronic blackout shades + Excellent water pressure and hot shower + Tall ceilings, spacious feel + Good bellhop service and helpful front desk staff What we liked least: - Confusing light switch panel (difficult to use in the dark) - Poor outlet design (can't plug in two devices due to odd shape) - Missed turndown service due to confusing room status light - Long waits for the elevator Note, this hotel's lobby is on the 20th floor, and the rooms are on lower floors. It took a little getting used to - we went UP for breakfast and then DOWN to our room. But the lobby and lounge were beautiful, and had marvelous views of the city.

We were in town for a family wedding The hotel staff was courteous and could not have been more accommodating The room was very comfortable and housekeeping was extremely attentive. We would make a daily walk to Cozy Corner restaurant for the ultimate in breakfast To the entire staff many thanks

The location is excellent . It is about a two minute walk from the north end of Michigan Avenue very close to the Hancock building/Water Tower. Staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment we came through the door. They assisted with parking as well as giving an extensive list of where to eat in the neighborhood. They also provided personal recommendations when we asked. Thanks Mark, Felicia and Alicia for your great service and charming personalities; you made the stay feel even more special. It is an older hotel that is not likely to appeal to those who want one with all the bells and whistles and an expansive fancy lobby associated with a modern, high-end hotel. Those aspects may be nice but they also come at a substantial price and do not guarantee great service. This hotel is an excellent value for the money. Our rooms were clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. The views from the room were lovely so that was an extra bonus. There are refrigerators in the room and plug-in slots for electronic devices along the edge of the desk. Other reviewer‘s have not noticed these items and have complained that they did not exist. There was nothing that we needed that was not there. While we did not request any, I heard from another guest in the elevator that staff was very responsive on bringing them ice when they needed it. Hotel staff also take Covid safety seriously. This was a great stay in a beautiful city. I would not hesitate to return to the Whitehall.

The service was good. I had trouble at check in with the credit cards and the staff was helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only problem was the phone was broken and wouldn't shut up...so I unplugged it and notified the front desk. Check out was simple also and the shuttle to and from the airport was useful. Pick up is at the Terminal 2 shuttle area and you take the team there. If you have a very early flight the shuttle might be an iffy choice. I also ate at the restaurant which was delicious and the service was good.

Best location if you need to return rental car before you fly. Just 3 minutes drive. The hotel facilities have been recently renovated and everything is spot-on! The room has absolutely everything you would ever need, good coffee, appliances, nice lightning, super clean bathroom. Reading chair and working desk. (The only problem is they don't offer water in the room). Nice swimming pool and gym. Downsides: They charge parking, and the check-in staff could be kinder. They interacted with me and other foreign guests in a rather bossy way.

My connection was canceled and I had to spend the night at the Hyatt Place. So glad I chose it! I had the standard room with a king size bed. It had a nice living area in the room! The bed/pillows were very comfortable. Room/bathroom were very clean and spacious. The bartender was the most friendly employee! He was the one who made me feel welcomed. The kitchen is beautiful, bright and spacious! Good sausage patties and hash browns. I wished they had scrambled eggs instead of hard boiled. Hot oatmeal with toppings, bread and bagels to toast, yogurt, apples and oranges, juices, coffee, tea. Many tables to sit at. Overall I was impressed with this hotel! Highly recommend it!

The best thing is that it feels like a hotel, not old-fashioned, but more like an express hotel, very comfortable
