    Restaurant in hotel, closeness to venue There is No parking for POV. Forces to park in parking garage across the street that is not even associated to the hotel. Or Forced to pay for Valet parking which is $63 a night. I’ve stayed in hotels with better accommodation for better price.

    The property is ok but very dated and deferred maintenance is visible especially outside. There is no self parking on property only valet And the cost is really high. The staff is very pleasant. I would go back if the price was right but would uber to and from appointments as it would be cheaper than the valet charge

    Very unfortunate that such hotel couldn’t do much to fix situation or improve experience . Went for weekend to attend an event , from arrival we were informed the second day water will be off all day. Without any consideration how we would shower or even use restrooms. Situation didn’t end by one day second night also water was shut off.

    Had very high hopes for this hotel as we have been guests of St Regis across several locations. This was our first time to the Houston St Regis. Unfortunately we had several issues with the cleanliness of our room. From a dead roach on the floor to a prior occupants underwear left uncleaned in our hotel room (yes you read that correctly) to shampoo pumps not working to a light not functioning…. The deficits were unavoidable and saddening. In fairness, we did let the manager know about our issues and she was helpful in making sure the room was actually cleaned and offered us a partial credit - but my question remained how an alleged 4-5 star hotel could let such oversights occur and consider themselves a top hotel brand. Outside of this, our stay was average. The people were kind and the food was very good. It is unfortunate our visit was marred by the deficient state of our room. Hopefully these issues may be corrected - but I think this experience is worth sharing when considering where you stay (and spend your money) for your travels.

    Rooms seemed clean enough, but very tired looking in a sea of '70s beige with dark brown vinyl seating. The one fabric lounge was stained and dingy. All is needing a serious refresh. We have stayed in other St. Regis locations, Florence being one of the pre-covid latest and as expected the facilities and experience certainly matched the price range. This one, not so much. I have used Houston location in past decades for business, so I can sadly say, not much has changed since that time.

    More than anything though, I couldn’t have been more disappointed in the quality of the food We ordered from room service. It was Luke warm when it arrived, the flavor of a $34 meal was SO poor & unappealing. The cheeseburger was nearly inedible in every aspect. The complimentary bread was even slightly stale. I was so disappointed with the entire room service experience. I expected the best from a place revered as one of the best.

I called the Hotel and asked the girl who answered if she could please check the safe in my room and call me back. She called back and reported that she had my jewelry and would ship it back to me. I am very greatful for the honesty and efficiency of your staff. .
