    Location, size of rooms, cleanliness, felt safe, fair price 1) You cant extend your reservation through booking.com and if you make a new one, they want to charge you $30 for an early check in fee... but if you just book directly at the property, you dont have to pay that, just an extra $5 +$2 if you use a card. Ridiculousness tbh. 2) They force housekeeping on you on day 3 whether you want it or not. I am a very clean, very private person. I clean up after myself (i even travel with lysol wipes, mr. Clean erasers, toilet cleaner, and my own trash bags, linens, and towels...) and i use my own linens, so i never needed housekeeping during my 6 day stay there, but i was rudely told the morning of the 3rd day that I HAD to let them in, no arguments... and even though I tried to refuse service every other day, they still knocked on the door, which leads to 3) No do not disturb signs... 4) No breakfast. They have what appears to be a very nice space opposite the front desk intended for hot breakfasts/buffets of some sort, but they dont offer it nor do they offer a grab and go, in fact, they also charge $2 for a bottle of water and $1.50 for a can of soda. 5) Lighting in the rooms also leaves a lot to be desired. I had trouble putting on makeup/doing my lashes bc its so dark and the lights are so dim... even with all of them switched on.

    This is one of two properties in the Houston area with the same name, the other near Pasadena. Subjectively it's a step above Motel 6. Fairly clean, towels are more substantial and not as see through, maid service daily, it has all the basics. The indoor bar fridge was turned off with a puddle of water in the freezer portion but it was a separate freezer and fridge. Amenities were basic including the small packets of shampoo and conditioner. Would of been nicer with more furniture like more nightstands or small reading lights or table lamps but the room has minimum furniture and the table and chair was a plus. The television has a good variety of channels. I reserved a room for 5 people but there were only two queens so be aware that just because it allows you to reserve a room for 5, the room itself may be able to accommodate in name only. There's no breakfast, meals or snacks available. Lots of nearby fast food and especially Asian restaurants. No roaches seen and we were out on the far inside of the motel so very little highway noise. Decent value for the amount paid.

    Would not process even a partial refund after experiencing power outage causing us to leave early for other accommodations. Advertised amenities were not accessible because of this. Older "gentleman" working front desk had an attitude during check in, while requesting room service and on phone when following up on promised refund. Would not suggest taking a chance here.

    Low water pressure barely dripping to take shower. The light switches are all jumbled and the switch by the bed doesn’t control the main light. Bedsheets looks like it’s from Salvation Army. Rust around the tub, and the calking around the tiles looks like someone just slapped a coat on without discernible skill. Overall the building looks like it was erected in a few months, or just need more TLC. Location is good if you want to access Chinatown and food.

    The best parts about this hotel was the quality and cleanliness of the room. The price was very reasonable as well. However, I was expecting a free continental breakfast and there was none to speak of. Though Orange Juice was available (through fountain drink setup); the strange-looking color of the OJ I saw Saturday morning made me scared to drink it. This hotel should not advertise having breakfast available.

    The properties management and staff are very combative and the hotel is located in a run down area I was charged a 80.00 booking fee from the hotel for finding a cleaner more suitable place to stay from my long travel to Houston. When i asked for a refund i was given the run around between the hitel and orbitz on who was responsible for refunding me then later after tgey got me off the phone they decided not to reimburse me dispite the fact when I reserved the room i selected to pay at the property im very disappointed in orbitz and the hotel.
