Hotels with Breakfast in Chicago

Everything was nice at the hotel: our room was upgraded to a more spacious one with two beds, the location is second to none - right in the center of it all, it is very quiet, which is a big plus. The only thing that the hotel is dated… they really need to renovate bathrooms and buy new thicker towels. Replacing scratched furniture will also help their image. Our $25 per day food and drink credit was pretty handy for our late lunch. I had Cobb salad (no bacon) and my husband had delicious grilled chicken wrap with aioli sauce, greens and French fries. On another day we tried their desserts. I had mouthwatering cheesecake with berries and my husband had cinnamon cobbler with cherries and peaches. His desert was humongous, so he finished it in the morning for breakfast. I couldn’t resist and finished my cheesecake on the spot… Service is excellent - very welcoming and the bartender is absolutely fantastic. And I can’t think of a better location - right in the heart of beautiful Chicago Downtown. We will be back in April.

According to the booking, filter and photos, it shows there is a pool at this location. THERE IS NOT A POOL HERE. We only booked this hotel for the amenities and view. Not finding out until we had checked in and inquired about pool hours we were too late to cancel our hotel. So just wasted a night and money on a place I would have never stayed at. We did not have a pool and according to trip booking parking showed for $78 but was more when we arrived. I’m not happy

Checking in at the Congress Plaza was so straight forward. I was upgraded without asking to a King size bed with a lake view. The room was perfect. Fridge, safe, TV , Coffee and water.

We stayed for a night, upgraded to a lakefront room. Great location, great rooms. The only issue I had was the AC was not working that well. We didn’t even use the sheets or our blanket we got so hot. Also the bar is a little over expensive. Other then that great stay! I’d stay again but bring a fan and our own bottle next time :)

I honestly thought the rooms were going to be nicer from when I walked into the lobby but it was still a decent place to stay and it was in city where I can walk everywhere!!

Everything from beginning to end was amazing! PHENOMENAL experience and staff. Will definitely be coming back. Thank You Allegro staff 😁

Tori was awesome at the front desk. Room was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Bar and restaurant in the lobby was also great! I would definitely stay here again! I really liked the safety of doors locking and elevator secured. Also it was very quiet, especially being on a main road

I came to Chicago in the peak of its expensive summer travel in June for an education/ business trip. As work didn’t pay for my stay, I didn’t want to shell out the costs for a hotel and opted for this hostel as a way to also experience some authenticity in my travels. I don’t regret my stay here, but there are a few things would have been helpful to know and/or would have made my day better. I booked a private king room, which was on the seventh floor. It offered a reasonable balance of comfort, privacy and value, which is what I was going for. It had the feeling of a college dorm room. There are a lot of complaints on here about the train noise and I do concur that it was quite prevalent and I am someone who used to sleep near train tracks and could normally sleep through trains coming nearby. I would recommend bringing some earplugs or a sound machine for your stay. I would also recommend some type of rag towel or extra curtain over the window as there is a train junction behind the building where very bright sparks occur and shine a lot of light at night. However, the windowsill was very deep and awesome to lean on or sit on and watch life in the city go by. Management: it would really improve your guest stay if you took a few steps to better soundproof your windows, such as sealing them better. Some heavy duty curtains on top of the flimsy blind would be very helpful as well in blocking both noise and light out. The bedroom had enough room for me to comfortably spread out and have a little workspace/desk to work at as well. The overall apartment had a somewhat functioning kitchenette, and simple living area that was shared with three bedrooms in the apartment unit/suite. The hostel had some nice shared areas – lounges where it seemed like a lot of social interaction took place, especially in the later hours of the evening. One of these is the café – dining hall, and it had some old world charm, and interesting architecture to it. As would be expected with a shared type of lodging, some extra time and uncertainty should be planned around your day. There is someone taking up the bathroom/shower the whole morning one more day and I couldn’t get in there before I had to leave. I ended up doing the bare minimum in the share lounge bathroom on a different floor. It is located in the loop, which is close to a lot of colleges and businesses. It is a short walk to the more high-end and tourist area of river north. There is also residential to the south. The block on which the hostel itself is located had some homeless tents set up including near the front door. Obviously, there can be some issues associated with a large city however, I did find it to be especially prevalent in the exact location where the hostel was located. In fact, one night there was a dumpster fire in front of the property because of all the trash that was collecting. Lake Michigan is located to the east and there is a large lakefront park that extends all the way no

The location is great. The hotel room was okay. The bed was excellent. The bathroom was tiny and the shower was too cold for me. There is a building being located immediately next door and there was LOUD work going on at 6/7 am on a Saturday. So definitely not ideal. The bar was closed for some reason which made the small lobby incredibly cramped with guests and people checking in. There was someone working on his laptop in the bar area and it didn't make sense how the kept the masses cordoned off in a tiny area when there was a huge area to spread out and sit down.

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.
