We stayed at the Whitehall for five nights in mid October at a good rate, the very first destination of an extended round the world post-retirement trip with our backpacks. The helpful receptionist gave us a beautiful junior suite when she heard about our plans. This historic hotel is really well located, just off Michigan Avenue and very smartly decorated and furnished. We used the restaurant once for an evening meal and the food was very good, but expensive, but then most of the Chicago restaurants are pricey in that area. Wifi is not free but we were able to take advantage of a signal in our room from a neighbouring hotel and also many cafes have free wifi. We had breakfast at Yolk (a trendy place on Wells St) and also at the Corner Bakery Cafe on Rush, both great places.
Staff were very helpful and we had a wonderful time. The only disadvantages for us were that the room was a little dark and as often is the case, it was somewhat warm, even with the air-conditioning. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others though.
