The Whitehall Houston
A bit noisy the walls are very thin we heard children running up and down the hallway all throughout the night. The parking prices are fees are ridiculous. Upon check in I wasn’t greeted or welcomed, the night staff was much nicer. The bar/restaurant was nice with friendly workers, rooms are nice ...
