Front desk check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the staff was very helpful. Parking was easy and convenient, and the bar staff was friendly. The drinks and food were both very good! This was our first time staying here, but it definitely won’t be our last. We look forward to coming back!

The room and stuff were amazing. It would have been helpful if they came daily to clean as we ran out of toilet paper. We called the front desk and they sent toilet paper up, no worries.

I’ve stayed here multiple times and the staff has made it my favorite place to stay when I’m town for work. Kevaun and Ashley stand out but everyone I’ve interacted with has made my stay perfect. Spacious rooms that are kept clean and close to the venues I play at. I can’t complain about one thing!

We stayed in room 1122. The commode was so close to the floor it was very uncomfortable to try to sit and get off the commode. I stay in lots of hotels monthly and never had to deal with such an outdated commode that was so low to the floor.

The place was nice overall, but unfortunately, the blankets and sheets had an unpleasant smell. Also, the cleaning staff tried to open the door twice while we were inside, which made us feel uncomfortable and was concerning from a privacy standpoint.

Bathroom in our room needed updated. Shower faucet was broken and needed fixed and light switch in bathroom needed replaced. Staff got the faucet fixed right away. Lobby bar staff was polite and personable. 9th floor outdoor pool and patio area was nice.

Damage visible around the room at foot level at multiple points. A chunk of the bottom of the door is missing, large enough for a mouse to walk through. Although there are no mouses or other pests thankfully. Room 1406.

Room was basic, but worked. Sink was dirty and the remote didn't work. Front desk didn't have another remote that worked. The coffee in the room was less than impressive. It worked for a nights sleep.

Room was dingy and a bit dirty. A crawler of some sort in the bathroom and toilet had clearly not been cleaned from previous visitors. Had to call down after room service and we had no towels replaced. Tv needs to be upgraded, peasant vision with few channels. “Funky” smell in the room.

The staff was great but the property had some real issues. I found a hugh dead roach on the floor in the conference room and when I woke up one morning in my room there was another one crawling out from under the sink in the bathroom. The "Starbucks" on-site has very limited options. The hotel had this damp smell and the mattress was lumpy. This property needs an upgrade and proper treatment.

The staff was helpful and let me check in early. They were all really nice. The room was decent and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had no fan and got awfully stuffy after a shower. There’s a note that steam can set off the fire alarm. Maybe a fan would help? Seems like a basic thing that was missing for a nicer hotel. The noise level was horrible. I didn’t hear people talking in the rooms on either side but I could hear every single thing in the hallway from doors opening and closing to conversations and even just people walking. I had a late night MRI and was fasting before my late morning PET scan so I was hoping to sleep in a bit. It was pretty frustrating to be woken up by hallway noise. The room had a night light built into the light switch in the entry area by the bathroom that could not be turned off and it prevented the room from becoming fully dark, which also made sleeping difficult. The rooftop pool was decent and not very packed but it was a week day. The lounge area out there was nice also. I got food at the bar and it was pretty tasty. The bar tender was friendly and helpful. Parking is $20 and spots are tight; pretty standard for the area.

Eventually moved to another room with weird chemical smell. Elevators malfunctioning to point where passengers got off early. No ice machines. Ice at downstairs cafe, but they “ran out of ice bags.” Random Bobby pins on bathroom floor.

The room was exceptionally clean. The staff was great. Sutherland was a very good help to get us a better rate than the web sight told us. He was able to get us a better rate because of my wife’s surgery. Cannot say enough about your staff.

Everything about the hotel was really nice except I stayed in a room that was next-door to the staff entrance. That door slammed at all hours of the day and night. It was very loud all day and sometimes in the middle of the night. That was not a restful stay.
- 2/5
It's a good thing the counter staff was very pleasant, the room was clean, and the hotel was near MD Anderson Cancer Center, where we had an appointment. Unfortunately, the AC unit in the room was louder than a freight train, the breakfast food was nearly inedible, and the return shuttle service back from MD Anderson required an hour-long wait — only to be finally greeted by a surly, gruff driver who had the music blaring.
