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.

Location is good. The room is spacious and clean. The shower: not able to have low pressure with a decent temperature. The high pressure was painful. They charged me twice, once through Booking once directly the hotel. Still waiting on the refund...

MUY MAL MANTENIMIENTO EN CUARTOS Y ELEVADORES. MUY CARO EL HOTEL PARA TAN BAJA CALIDAD.
- 4/5
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

When we let the staff know that when we called for extra towels, Kleenex, etc due to the bathroom not being serviced, that evening they left a thoughtful note and had cookies and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us. We appreciated them making things right.

Staff was helpful. My room was very spacious and clean. I liked the patio with chairs and the large tub. I would have really liked a coffee shop with speciality drinks.

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.

Was awesome the only complaint was I used the fast valet app and for some reason they didn’t get request but they were more than gracious about it. Lots of apology. I’d stay again

It was very nice. However, I did not like the fact that dogs could stay in all of the rooms. I thought there was a designated space in the hotel for dogs to stay in. My son is allergic to dogs.

My wife and her mother stayed here for 2 nights o they could enjoy some exibitions at the museum. They had a wonderful tome nd really enjoyed the safety and conveinience of the location, the cleanliness of the hotel and friendliness of the staff. We will definitley use the hotel again and reccomend it to anyone that asks

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.

Decent. Wasn’t near the experience or expectation compared to the St. Regis in Atlanta, GA. I was expecting something a lot better but it was not close to the aforementioned St. Regis, nor a Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton.

Personally i thought The food at the hotel was really bad.
- 2/5
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 also need to tell you that when I was driving back in the evening back to San Antonio after checking out that morning, I realized left some expensive jewelry in the safe. 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. .

My only issue with the visit was I made a late reservation on Expedia but one hour later there was no record when I arrived at the hotel. The man at the front desk was very helpful and figured it out, so I really appreciated his effort. I wanted to raise the issue because I had just missed a connection and had a midnight note check in and a 7:30am departure and every minute counts

This is a smaller boutique hotel in town in Houston. The building is older and really lovely. Marble floors, beautiful woodwork. Very quiet on the weekend, even with several wedding parties at the hotel. The staff is excellent without being obsequious. Amazing flower displays in the lobbies. Fantastic breakfast in a sunny veranda.
