We booked this hotel through Expedia for our Christmas holiday with family, but it was a terrible experience from the start. The room claims to accommodate four people, but it barely fits two adults comfortably. It had two full-size beds (not queens) and almost no space to move. The pillows were square and tiny, the bathroom was dangerously slippery (my son fell twice!), and the shower was old with dirty walls. There was no minibar or fridge to store food or milk for the kids, which made things even more inconvenient. Housekeeping was kind but inconsistent—they missed our room one day and, when asked, said they had already left by 1:00 PM! Parking was another disaster. They charge guests $40 tax per night, which is ridiculous. We ended up parking across the street at a public government building for half the price. The entrance has a high wooden bump that damaged our rental car, and we had to pay for the repairs. This ruined our experience further. I tried contacting Expedia to cancel and book a better hotel, but they were unhelpful, leaving us stuck here and ruining our holiday. The only slight positive was the friendliness of the housekeeping staff, but that didn’t make up for the horrible stay. I would not recommend The Whitehall Houston and will never return. 1/5 Stars.

Super great staff! Only parking is valet is trash and unneeded plus they have no EV Charging at all. We arrived at 3am, checked in and discovered we had one washcloth, hvac vent hanging out of ceiling and no water pressure in shower. For what these folks are charging I expected better.
