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 hotel was tucked behind the Bombshell restaurant and relatively quiet. My family of 3 was comfortable in the double queen room. It was clean and well kept. I have no complaints.

While not really what I would call a walkable neighborhood, it had easy access and was close to the area we need to be at for a reasonable price for an overnight stay.
- 5/5
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 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.

The breakfast was ok to something to write about but the room was clean and quiet.
- 3.5/5
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.
- 4/5
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 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!

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!!!!

Beautiful facility. The breakfast was amazing! Definitely coming back
- 3/5
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!

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
