Ok hotel; Service was superb.

The hotel is in a great location for Astros baseball, clubs and bars on Main Street, and downtown nightlife. It’s an old hotel. The furniture in my room was old and scratched, the faux tile floors were peeling and had pieces missing. A few of the furniture handles were bent and discolored. The floor molding in the restroom looked like a dog chewed on it.
