The hotel is not in the best location as you are merging from the highway exit to turn in. The breakfast bacon was nice and crispy with good flavor umm.

The room was larger than I anticipated I also liked the shower it was big and not a tub shower which I liked. My bedside light didn’t work but everything else was good. I enjoyed the breakfast omelets. Breakfast in general was above average. We arrived late and the hotel staff was super friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was not particularly clean. There was hair on the shower wall, and something smeared on a wall and picture frame. Also, the bathroom faucet shot the water out almost vertically towards you, rather than down.

The staff were all doing a great job. We booked a suite it was spacious and clean. However, the fixtures in the bathroom need fixing and there was a unpleasant smell when we come in the room.

Cleanliness Even though I was switched rooms, there is a musty smell of mold in the rooms. It’s as if the vents aren’t cleaned or the property has no proper ventilation or airing out system. I couldn’t have spent more than one night there. Other than that, the check in people and the manager were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate.

While checking in, I was told they overbooked for a room with 2 beds, which is what I had booked. He asked if I was okay taking a king bed instead. I wasn’t because I had my family with me, then he said okay, we do have a room with double beds. I didn’t like that encounter but everything else was good.

Walking in the staff was polite. The hotel was clean as well as the bedroom and bathroom. The continental breakfast was delicious,with making pancakes and sitting down to watch TV along with a n I ce cup of coffee; to getting a quick muffin before you leave.

I love everything about the property. I was visiting from Florida and this hotel is my second home every time I visit Houston. The staff and personnel were all amazing, friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was fabulous and most importantly, the room was clean and comfortable to sleep in! See you next time!

I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. I paid for my room in full when I checked in and had the receipt to prove it. However, at around 3:00 a.m., the front desk called my room and claimed that I had an unpaid balance. Being woken up in the middle of the night for a billing mistake was extremely frustrating. I explained that I had already paid and that I had my receipt. They asked me to come downstairs and pay again, but I told them I had proof of payment and would be happy to show my receipt in the morning. There was no reason to disturb me at such an hour over an issue that could have waited until the next day. I hope the hotel improves its communication and verifies payment records before waking guests in the middle of the night. This experience significantly affected my stay.

The staff was super nice. The hot breakfast was nice. The cleanliness was pretty bad. I wish I would have taken a picture to actually show. I didn’t even want to get in the shower barefoot. Lots of black mold on sink and in the tub. The tables in the pool area were not clean. Also, the indoor pool was FREEZING!!!!

However, invest in facilities management. The rooms could be so much better. They’re clean but run down. Paint pealing in the windowsill, cracked tiles in the bathroom, fan vents that don’t work making all the condensation trap into the bathroom after a shower, and rugs that are stained. Our first room had a smashed tv that was either not known or just not taken care of. Again- not the worst place to stay but could be a lot better.

Decent location with friendly staff—only issue is they ran out of towels, but it was busy so I’ll give them a pass

We booked a standard room and received an accessible room. This was a little uncomfortable with 3 in the room when using bathroom or shower since there were no doors and just open access to the bathroom. When we tried to switch the rep said she would leave note so they could switch us the next day. When I checked the next day, rep said no note found and there were no other standard rooms available. The water pressure was low and looked like some areas could use some maintenance but at least beds were comfortable.

There was not much at breakfast to choose from. Possibly a lot of people already visited the breakfast before 7:30-7:45. Only had oatmeal, cereal, milk and yogurt.

I was very disappointed with my stay here in Houston. The housekeeping kept barging in to the room, even when we were sleeping. They took all of our towels in the middle of getting ready to go out. When checking out we were barely out of the doorway of the room when the housekeeping barged in to turn our room over. The air conditioning did not work at all and it was extremely hot in our room. Between the heat, and disruptions, I won’t be visiting again.

The staff was okay. We came home dusty from the Rodeo on Saturday. We were in a room that slept 6. We were only given 2 bath towels. We asked for more and were told to go downstairs. We went downstairs and were told there were no more towels. Very frustrating.

The desk staff was awesome- friendly, attentive to needs, even over Christmas. The room, however, was disappointing. It felt very damp and smelly like mildew. The water pressure at the sink was barely a trickle. The workout room didn’t have cups for the water dispenser, and the air conditioning didn't work.

Pleasantly surprised how nice, quiet and well maintained this property was. But what really made 5 stars was the wonderful front desk person named Tamyra. She was fantastic in all key areas. She had a wonderful personality and was so attentive. Would love to showcase her in how to make guests feel welcome video. Yes, she was that good!

everything was great except for the breakfast the egg pancakes a lot of process foods. I’m a little bit more picky but greatly appreciate they do offer hot breakfast. Just have very sensitive stomach. Otherwise cleaning this pool the gym everything was very nice and so was the stuff.

The stay was nice. A bit more in price but it was a holiday weekend. Tucked away just off the HWY behind a restaurant. Not the best neighborhood but the Hotel does have security in the parking lot at night. Staff was friendly and hotel was clean. No issues like other brands that have guest that are loud in the rooms and smell of weed. Hotel is a little older but our experience was great. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff very pleasant. Thank you

I just suggest that they provide lunch and dinner for purchase if possible. This is because I had a small child with me and did not want to order uber daily for lunches and dinner. Making provision for lunches and dinner for purchase qould benefit families who travel with little children. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Location was close to a lot of things. Right off expressway and bar/grill in same block. First set of key cards did not work, went back to front desk and cards were rescanned. Cards again did not work. Was then moved to another room short distance. This room ac did not work. No answer at front desk. Change of shift and I was given another room a few rooms down and better condition. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel hallway and stair way smelled of marijuana. Last day, cleaning ladies knocked at 10am, I told them we would be checking out at 12 and they acknowledged understanding. An hr later they returned , knocked and opened door at same time, did not wait for a response. I opened door and they apologized. 1140 I was loading luggage into vehicle , when they returned again while my gf was in the restroom. Staff didn’t know just opened door with card. They apologized again and 5 min later returned to do the same.

I was surprisingly impressed with this hotel the condition of the hotel looks like it was most built maybe a few years back, it was clean and the breakfast options were many which helps when you have a picky toddler. The room were clean and the shower was huge. Only draw back was the ice machine on the second floor was not working and there was no microwave in my room. Other than that a good stay.
