    Fitness center was probably the most disappointing. Both treadmills treads needed replacement. Also saw ants in the fitness center. Not a great seal around the door, luckily it was pretty quiet. Shower head didn’t have great water flow. Towels were due for replacing or more softener. AC took a while to get the room cool.

    The breakfast was fresh and hot. The location was ideal for my business requirements. The beverage mix supported my needs and the market place had ample supply of goods to support the evening snacking needs. I was pleased with all aspect of the stay.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Breakfast was better than expected. Hot food, pretty good! The location is a bit hidden, behind a sports bar and dialysis center, and you can see the sign but it's easy to miss the turn. Water pressure in the shower wasn't enough- hard to rinse my thick hair. But otherwise, totally fine!

    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.

    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.

    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 desk staff was awesome- friendly, attentive to needs, even over Christmas. The room, however, was disappointing. It felt very damp and smelly like mildew.

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.
