This is one of the worst experiences I have ever had in a hotel. Unfortunately it was to late for us to go to a different hotel for the night. But the minute you open the door there where roaches everywhere all over the room and in the bathroom. Carpet and room was dirty same as sheets with stains. Very noisy. The lamps did not have shades and furniture was really beat up. We tried to save money but never again. Do not recommend for even one night you will not sleep comfortable.

Room was dirty and the front desk took my deposit and blamed me for dirty sheets and towels that were already in the room upon my arrival. Roaches in the bed and on the walls. Roaches crawling out of the refrigerator.

The hotel is infested with roaches. The concierge gave me a room & the key didnt work for it but it worked for the room next door to it. When we were able to go in the room it didnt seem like it had been cleaned & it also had a hole in the wall. We were sent to the sister hotel & it was slightly better but same situation.

I stayed at Romana Hotel in Houston from October 10–13, 2026, and had a terrible experience. During my stay, I got 12 red, raised, itchy bites, including swelling and oozing around my knee. On my last morning, I found two bed bugs directly on my bed. I captured the insects and have photos and videos as evidence. I contacted Expedia to request a refund, but the hotel refused to authorize it. I also filed a complaint with Houston 311. This experience was extremely uncomfortable and concerning. I would not recommend staying at this property due to the pest problems and how my complaint was handled. There's a roach infestation there and the hallways and lobby had roaches too. Crazy they don't handle this. This is unsanitary can cause people to be sick and injured from bites.

The fact that this location even has 3 stars is appalling. Bugs crawling on the wall, the ceiling was literally falling and leaking water, the bedroom doors were ALL broken at the locks so you could see through when the door is closed, mold in the bathroom, stained sheets and then they have the nerve to say they will charge you for stains! TERRIBLE! This place is absolutely disgusting. My reservation was for 4 nights, we stayed 1 night just to sleep and left to shower somewhere else because we had just drove 20 hours and were too tired to deal with anything. I didn’t even shower to go to bed after traveling for so long, I didn’t trust the sheets AT ALL! We walked in, slept, and walked out. I asked for a refund, they said no. This place needs to be reported for safety hazards and terrible conditions and false advertising!!

From the time of check in and after the receptionist was very rude worse attitude. Worse customer service. Not sure how he’s staffed there he was too busy watching tv…Another customers there he was yelling at while I was in the middle of going over the check in. When i mentioned I was having issue w/ door not opening he laughed & said umm did you push the door like no duh. It was hard getting in. Tv was on & was told andd … lobby super icky humid. Elevator missing buttons as well super hot. Room on 6th floor broken chair middle of the area. Roaches in the room & restroom. Tub was horrible it filled up and took all night to go down. Towels had stains. Fixtures also some outlets didn’t work and missing. The air conditioner worked off/on throughout the night. Area has homeless and prostitution going on just a hot mess. Definitely unsafe and wouldn’t ever recommend to anyone!

The lobby courtesy clerk was aggressive to me. He used profanity towards me. Ask that I have to pay a $40 deposit, which I did not know through hotels.com app, and he didn't let me stay as a guest as being a customer that I paid the amount of $33 dollars to stay at the hotel. I lose $33 dollars and no stay at the hotel room. I would never want to stay in that motel anyways by staff members treating customers very aggressive using profanity towards them. The lobby was so hot and dirty anyways do not recommend that motel never to any customers.

This place isn’t it. I recorded everything I walked in. I paid 31.21 plus an additional 40 deposit when I arrived. It had holes in the ceiling and wall. The bed had a stain on it. They didn’t have any baseboards. The toilet had urine on it. The furniture was broken and very outdated like my grandmother house. I didn’t even have a remote to the tv. It was hot in my room even though the ac was on 60!! Also ROACHES!! I killed 5 when I walked in! I had spray then at night right when I went to sit on the bed 4 crawling under the pillows!! This place needs serious renovations or torn down!!

Un asco de ambiente totalmente inapropiado para familia Sucio por fuera y horrible por dentro las fotos con las q se anuncia en Expedia son falsas si alguna vez fue asi hoy en dia no lo es ,Es un lugar Horrible. It’s a disgusting place. The atmosphere is awful and completely unsuitable for families. It’s dirty on the outside and horrible on the inside; the photos on Expedia are fake—if it ever looked like that, it certainly doesn't anymore. It’s a horrible place.

In plain sight the inside of the lobby looks tidy not clean but not filthy. The furniture is outdated. Roaches are everywhere. The elevator is very hot and roaches are everywhere. The rooms: out dated furniture. The tubs are stained filthy. The television didn’t work. Roaches was all over the bed, inside the television, microwave, and refrigerator. The entire property smells of roaches dog urine and trash. The people that’s willing to stay there is of very low class and hostile. I checked in at 3pm and checked out shortly afterwards. Please take head to the 1 star reviews. Everyone of them stated the truth. There’s nothing nice about this property at all. You will not get a refund! I asked management if the entire property was infested with roaches and he stated “yes because people cook in their rooms during their stays.” THIS PLACE IS A HEALTH HAZARD

Property was full of trash everywhere including the halls. Not enough lighting in the parking area. Roaches in the halls and all over the rooms including the bed. Room smelled like cigarettes and the bed spread had cigarette burns. My bf went to go tell the front desk and all he said was he was going to notate it down. We left didn't even stay not even 20 min while we looked for another hotel. Hotels.com was not helpful either. Rude and hung up on me.

When I arrived it was raining the hotel worker blocked the driveway so I couldn’t park out of the rain. He stopped in the middle of the parking space to tell me he was not moving up. He checked us in, it’s my husband’s birthday we live in Willis Tx an hour away. I paid with my Affirm card the attendant asked me for more money. I protested letting him know I paid in full he stated he needs $40 or he can just cancel it. Well I gave him $40 and got my key and went to eat. When we returned went up to our room the key didn’t work. When we were returning to the room we noticed the condition of the hotel. It was terrible, I was embarrassed at our surroundings. It smelled terrible , it was dirty and there were people hanging around. The front lobby is not what the picture looked like. The room was dirty the beds were horrible. I took pictured this place should be condemned. It is not fit to be called a hotel. We checked in at 3:00 pm and we checked out at 6:00 pm. The bed was so nasty the carpet was dirty and nasty. Our microwave did not work our frig didn’t work. We went back home oh my God. I’m so glad my husband had a wonderful meal and great drinks at dinner. Because our trip was a disaster. Don’t come to this place at all.

Do not book here , there’s a 40$ deposit that takes three days to get back on card. Kids were sitting in the lobby all night and day , everything was broken including the tv in our room , it was clear someone punched it. There was a broken table in the corner , smelt like mold . Lamps were ripped off , no trashcan inside the room. If there’s another hotel even for 5-10$ I highly advise you book that one

The property outside is very trashy and there’s no security. My van been broken into it outside when I asked the front desk if they have a security camera to see who break into my van they said there doesn’t have a camera outside. Is that safe to stay there is that Security is not clean. It’s very very terrible place

This Place was nothing like the pictures that are on Hotels.com. it is more like a stay for months at a time. The location is not save. The room we checked in to was nasty. The person that checked us in was rude and yelled at me because I had a hard time hearing him. So because of all of this we did not stay and I lost my money for the stay. And the health department needs to go and do an inspection.

The picture shown in this app is NOWHERE near what it actually looked like. It was run down. I had a serious roach problem. The carpet in my room was dirty and torn up. There were holes in my walls. The refrigerator was pulled out from where it should have been. Even one of the other hotel visitors told me "this place is so ghetto". Please do not pick this place, especially if you're staying with family. Parking lot did not feel safe either.

If I could give it no stars I would. The only thing good I could say about the hotel is got to stay is over. The staff wasn't bad I feel sorry for them for having to be in those conditions as well. Pulling up to the hotel I thought it was abandoned, there were no lights in the parking lot, and it looked haunted. The room looked like it could have been in American horror stories, beyond creepy, stains everywhere, maybe two and a half channels worked on the TV, honestly I was scared to sleep on the mattress. Although the sheets were clean, I still sup with my clothes on including my jacket. They had the nerve to charge a $40 deposit for incidentals and or damages. I don't know how they will be able to tell if they were damages because it already looked damaged to begin with. They considered as late checking out so they kept our deposit, but hey I guess they have to get their money somehow.

This room looks nothing like the photos online. It’s roach infested! I did not stay. Once I got there I walked right out and dis not get my refund! The dude at check and was very rude and over charged my card after I’d booked 3rd party! The entire building smiled like pee! I’m furious and I was having a major surgery the next day. I travel 9 hours to Houston only to be met with a room like this. I understand it’s priced low but omg it was so discussing in that building! I cried so hard because of the disappointment.

He was the rudest and angriest person I have dealt with in the hospitality field.
