Decent hotel

My stay was fine, not really great or really bad. I didn't love the $100 deposit they charged on my card, but the area was nice & safe, and having a couple restaurants across the street was appreciated. I was glad they offered free onsite parking, because so many hotels don't nowadays. The breakfast was pretty decent too; it was nice to get a buffet instead of a plain continental. Also, the setup of the room was done well, there was no wasted space, though some of the furnishings were a tad older.

nice hotel

It is a very well located hotel. The staff is very friendly, the room is comfortable. But it seems that needs a little of renewal, the bathroom, is outdated, with the curtains in the bathtub, is a little uncomfortable to take a bath. Besides that, it has a buffet, that ends at 9am, a little bit early. and the parking is free, and you can walk to the galleria mall.

Check in was quick and easy, with a professional staff member. There was a $100 deposit for incidentals. The suite was spacious, a bit dated, but clean. It was incredibly convenient to have the Galleria Mall within walking distance (5 mins.). Our stay was affordable and enjoyable!

Catfished by a hotel. Ratings must be fake. Mildew smell on entire floor. Slant in room so bad, door wouldnt lock properly and can see daylight below. Severe water damage stains on ceiling in room. No hot water in shower. Room phone disconnected and wires everywhere. No ice machine. Dont typically put in reviews but this was one of the worst misrepresentations of a hotel ive seen.

Good for families after a few needed touchups.

Queen suite was a good size for our family of four. The staff was friendly and helpful. The housekeeping staff were very hardworking. Nice small pool for staying cool and good little daily breakfast. The only issues were the furniture and parts of the buildings need a little bit of a refresh. Also the hot water was not consistently hot for the shower. Overall a decent facility for families.

The place is the best bang for your buck. Free breakfast and free parking and it’s not in a sketchy area. My only complaint is that the AC that kicks on and off all night somehow wakes me up. This doesn’t happen at other hotels for me. I will however still stay at this hotel because everything else is great.
