    The lobby was the only thing decent Parking is very small. My room door was open when I made it to my room. Very little to no lighting in the room. Mattress aren’t comfortable at ALL. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

    The front desk was ok. They need to be more compassionate and show more empathy. In addition, I was put on floor 14th which was room 1406. The TV did not work and the maintenance tried to make it work plus he told me that the dish and/ or TV in my room had issues. So why would the front desk put in a room in which the TV did not work. I think I was profile because I was a single male. The TV did not work and the maintenance attempted to fix the TV and took him 30 minutes but he tried his best. He got 3 channels to work before he left my room 1406. Later the picture went blank with only sound. In the morning the hot water did not work. I just gave up. I think the front desk knew about the room and this is my opinion and why? Because the maintenance guy specifically stated that the TV in this room 1406. Again, I was a single black male and I was profiled. I wish to be compensated for the inconvenience of your property. I am Mr. Anthony Henry and I also deserve an apology of such an inconvenience. The standards had decline at the Crown Plaza in the Upper Kirby in Houston. I live in the Houston Area. Specifically the Sugar Land Area.

    The rooms were pretty clean for the most part. Staff was nice breakfast. I feel like for what the wrong cost. You should have at least gotten continental breakfast. The fact that I got no breakfast, I think, is ridiculous in this economy. The bar closed at 11, which I think is ridiculous, especially on a weekend. This should be open at least until 1am. The property seems to have a lot of issues with maintenance specifically leaking water everywhere in the lobby.

    They charged me $150 dlls for parking; they told me that $75. Would be reimbursed back to my card plus random Accommodation charges were charged $80 & $120., when I questioned them they told me first that it was for taxes then when I checked out they told me that i would be reimbursed between 1 to 2 days! Not again!

    To medical treatment. The hotel has been nicely renovated but …. Firstly the beds are the original mattresses. We drove down from South Dakota for my cancer treatment. We were exhausted. I needed sleep. I got none. I was in tears calling the front desk because I was so sleep deprived. We examined the mattress. The metal on the seams was exposed. See photos. The mattress was made 19 years ago!! It was a worn lumpy mess as was I after spending the night with it. The staff tried to be helpful and kind but all I was offered was another room. Went to it and tada same wear on mattress. After over an hour wait we finally tried a Mattress that was the same age but not as worn. Apparently every mattress in the hotel is that age. They also did not put the fridge in the furniture meant for it. That space was empty. The fridge was a dorm fridge next to the bathroom. They are also adding $25 to park. That is not disclosed when booking. So, if this gets read by corporate perhaps you can fix your foolish mistake. Travelers need sleep!!! I will be contacting corporate with the photographs of the mattress.

    They do have a happy hour. I loved the clean rooms. You do have to pay for parking which I did not like the price of but overall everything else was nice. I would rate them a 9 out of 10 only because of parking price. 50 dollar deposit per night of your stay.

    I was only in town for 1 night attending a concert, once checking in on Saturday 10/10 around 6pm, the young lady was nice & prob the only good thing about staying there. Around 10:30am on 10/11 day of check out, I tried using the room phone to call front desk twice, no answer. I called from my personal phone to ask about getting a couple towels sent up to shower before checking out & whoever answered the phone tells me, it wasn’t going to be time for me to shower before check out bc it was already a long wait of other people waiting on towels to get to their room. I then said well that’s another inconvenience. They had 4 elevators, 1 wasn’t working & the other 3 were slow & very hot. I’m a manager & customer service is big to me. She definitely could’ve handled the situation a lot better about the towels. The hotel is pretty mid, I’d say the pictures need to be updated or either they need to update the property better especially being around The Galleria. Wouldn’t recommend to any of my family or friends.

    This was the worst place I have been in for a very long time. There was no hot water. The front desk was very unhelpful. They would not look up when they talked to you. There were people hanging in the front. The smell permeated thru the hallways. It was bad enough I got there at 5 asked for the hotwater to be fixed numerous times. Went to dinner came back and still could not get help. I checked out at 9 and figured it was safer to drive all night then stay there.

    This property has gone downhill. The carpet between the beds was wet (gross!), the toilet continually flushed waking me up in the night, the water was lukewarm, the guests were loud, and road noise was audible all through the night. Breakfast was overpriced for the value.

    I liked that bed was comfortable number one and that it was clean. The view out the window wasn’t very good. Looks like they need to clean up all their junk on a lower roof of their hotel. The door lock latch was feeble. The property in general looks like it needs an upgrade. Also not in a good neighborhood. The parking spaces outside the front entrance were maintained by another pay to park company. You couldn’t even legally park in front without worrying you would have to pay for your parking. Did not see any security outside the motel.

    Hotel and room was clean and smelled good. Bed was a little too firm for me. Only thing I didn’t like was the A/C. We had it turned down to 60 and on constant high and it stayed 71 in the room. Never really got cooled down. It is extremely silent (Some may like that but I like the noise). The only thing that saved us was that the air did blow directly on us so we didn’t stay too warm
