The hotel is older but well-maintained and clean. The room was relatively small; however, it was tidy and featured an excellent view of downtown, which enhanced the overall experience. Positive Aspects: • Clean and well-kept room and carpet. • Comfortable bedding. • Impressive city view from the room. Issues Noted: • One towel appeared to have makeup residue. • Room key card malfunctioned multiple times (approximately six), requiring staff assistance at the front desk to reset it. Despite minor inconveniences with the key card and towel, the stay was pleasant. Cleanliness and comfort outweighed the issues, and I would choose to stay at this hotel again in the future.

The rooms could be improved, and the bathrooms were dirty. There were some mold in there too. There was a Caucasian male that needs to work on his customer service. He was super rude.

Great shower. Amazing bed and pillows. No breakfast. Houstons homeless problem forces hotels to keep all doors locked. Front doors are inconvenient to open.

First off, the hotel is transitioning because someone else bought it.. There is no restaurant. For breakfast they place you in a cold sterile room with almost inedible breakfast food and the attendant will hunt you down over the little food voucher card.. Parking is in a basement full led with graffiti and a beat up elevator. No pool or lounge area like advertised.

Room was spacious and clean, bed was comfortable. The only negative comment is regarding limited counter space in the bathroom. Not much room to put toiletries and difficult to put makeup and fix hair.
