    I did not like that the windows were not soundproof and made for a very sleepiness night. Way too much noise. The shower has way too many rust stains and needs to be cleaned.

    The breakfast was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. The little for purchase pantry type area by the front desk had a moldy smell. Many of the chairs in the dining area were stained. Most of the walls throughout the property were dirty. The elevators were dirty. The bed was clean and the service was good, fresh towels and coffee every day. The walls were dirty in the room and bathroom. There were dark sections behind some of the caulking in the shower. The sink, counter and toilet were very clean. There was some kind of large stain on the bench seat by the tv, possibly chemical or bleach. The outside of the hotel was newly redone and the outside grounds were clean.

    The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We requested a refund based on the condition of the room we were assigned (another room could not be accommodated), and the staff was very friendly and helpful in facilitating the refund. The location worked out well for what we needed. The room had a distinct unpleasant odor to it, and was not in the best condition. But the worst part: my wife, daughter and I stepped out for a commitment we had. The weather had cooled off at night. When we got back to our room we turned the temperature up on the room’s AC/heating unit. When it turned on the room was overtaken (badly) with the smell of urine. We couldn’t stand it, collected our belongings and headed to the front desk to inquire about a refund.

    The age of the place showed the flooring in elevator and public space and the chalking in bathroom. Also, the lighting in the room was horrible. Two bulbs were burnt out and we didn't tell them till the next morning. Even with the bulbs replaced it still was very dark.

    Our stay was great. My only issue was that the hotel only has 2 entrances. One of the entrances was blocked by the hotel shuttle the entire time we were there. I was told by the clueless receptionist “this is just what we do.” This is a major code violation, and it has been reported. I was further informed that there was no staff available to move the shuttle. So that means if there is an emergency and everyone needs to vacate the property, no one can move the van? Ok. Got it.

    We arrived way earlier than expected, but the front desk didn't bat an eye to call housekeeping and get a room ready for us and allow us an early check-in. The breakfast in the morning was great, hot and fresh! While it is an older building, it is well-maintained. Definately, will stay here the next time we are in town.

    Everything was great with the exception of the greeting at the front desk. I am an IHG member but didn’t have my number readily available. The young lady noted down my phone number and email address and I never heard back from her. The person in front of me received the complimentary goodie bag, no questions asked, and as I walked back into hotel with my luggage, I noticed she also gave a bag to the man in line behind me.

    Houston, Texas, and I’m so grateful for the outstanding service we received throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment I arrived. A special thank you to Stephanie and Lele—they truly made our stay memorable. Stephanie was professional, kind, and always ready to help with anything I needed. And LeLe was wonderful—her warmth and attention to detail stood out every day. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was delicious, with a great variety of options to choose from. LeLe made sure everything was perfect each morning, and her friendly presence made breakfast feel like a treat rather than just a meal. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful and inviting. I highly recommend Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Hobby Airport Area by IHG Houston, Texas in Houston to anyone looking for a place where genuine hospitality shines through. We will definitely be back!
