    These hotel was a very relaxing experience. Crazy that we stayed during Halloween & though the shopping area had events, we heard absolutely nothing. Will surely be staying here again.

    The property is great. Can't beat the location if you're looking for lots of commercial in walkable distance. The issue I have is I stayed there 2 weekends ago and have yet to receive my receipt. I have incidental charges of ~$270 on my credit card and have spoken to 4 different people since checking out, including the front desk and their customer service. I was told I'd receive a copy each time. The second to last time I was told it was being escalated and I'd receive in one business day. Instead I've only received one email....a marketing push to book another stay. I assume I have to physically go there this weekend to resolve the matter as when I call, I'm told they can't see what the charges are for.

    I don't know Houston very well, beyond the fact that it is HUGE, but I think I would want to stay here whenever I visit in terms of 4.5-star luxury for 3-star prices. Staff are very friendly and welcoming; you feel like a treasured guest who stays often. Room was quiet, no noise from outside. Full pay bar in room with nice selection (but I didn't have anything).

We were EXTREMELY late to our event bc we did not have a room ready. We didn’t get a room until after 5pm. We still needed to shower, get dressed, hair make up etc. I am extremely disappointed

    Had a great stay in this very nice hotel. Rooms were clean and hotel was very modern. Located in a great location with food and things to do right outside the hotel. Also has a bar right by the lobby and the credit toward the room that you can use comes in clutch. I would definitely stay in this hotel again.

    Great location for business trips in the Energy Corridor. Being close to CityCentre makes it very convenient to grab dinner or pick up essentials. The hotel is clean and the amenities are good overall. The gym is underwhelming and needs improvement. Value for money is lacking due to too many extra fees—including charges just to stay and fees to receive packages. Breakfast was also disappointing for $24.

The Moran is right in the heart of CITYCENTRE, surrounded by great restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife—all within walking distance. CITYCENTRE holds a special place in our story, so being able to celebrate our anniversary here made the weekend even more meaningful. The Moran provided the perfect setting for us to relax, reminisce, and enjoy our time together. Great atmosphere, beautiful views, thoughtful touches, and an unbeatable location. We truly enjoyed our anniversary stay and will definitely be back!

The parking garage can be tricky, but we were fortunate to find a parking space near the entrance of the bridge that takes you directly to the lobby. There are plenty of eateries and entertainment sources in the area. I recommend this location.

    Experience was great, we would love to stay again. The only thing was that we didn’t know before arriving or told when when we checked it was that the hotel was running off of a generator. Which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing but unfortunately the the generator went out while we were on the elevator and we were stuck for about 10 minutes before everything reset and the doors opened up. Unfortunately we were with no power for about an hour. Non the less they were able to restore power and the rest of the stay was pleasant.

    My stay was okay. I stayed for the weekend. I was just annoyed at the hotel wanting to nickel and dime residents for amenities, e.g., using a microwave onsite was not permitted but they could send a microwave to my room for a deposit. I've never been charged a microwave deposit in my life. But yeah, the rest was fine.

    Beautiful hotel - difficult to find my way around. The signage from the garage to the hotel is terrible. Signage near all elevators is terrible. I did a lot of unnecessary walking around hauling all my luggage which is a poor way to start a hotel stay. Maid service not great, but the rooms and public spaces were clean. Service at the bar really slow.

    A few things are starting to age and need a little maintenance, but still a very nice place. Only disappointment this time we stayed here was that none of the staff seemed like they wanted to be there. No one was particularly rude, but no one had a smile and every interaction was right on the verge of a bit sharp in the way they spoke to us. We also ordered food from the bar for happy hour and it never showed up after about 50 minutes and we were heading to dinner anyway, so I just cancelled it. Again, bartender wasn’t necessarily rude, but her words could have been a little kinder, and maybe an apology or something would have been nice? Her response was “as you wish”. Again, not rude, but in the context of the situation, it was close to a bit rude. Will give them another chance in the future because we like the place and the location, but wasn’t nearly as impressed as we used to be with it.
