Breakfast food was good and the bed comfort was ok. The room smelled of musty/mold from the air conditioner unit. I think the coils need to be cleaned.

Add some fruits for breakfast, such as bananas and grapes. Also they need to work on the smell of mold in the hotel room. There’s also a mild smell of mold in the lobby. I believe maybe the smell is coming from the vents. Maybe the vents needs to be inspected and cleaned not too sure where that smell is coming from. Also, there

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Our stay here was extremely disappointing. The first room we were given was dirty: the door didn’t close properly, several lights were out, there was no phone or TV remote, and the bedding had clearly not been changed—crumbs and hair were all over the sheets. When we reported these issues to the front desk, we were moved to a smaller double queen room, even though we had paid for a king suite. Before we left the first room, the owner came to “inspect” and confirmed our complaints but responded with passive-aggressive remarks. She dismissed major hygiene issues, including visible vomit and what appeared to be urine stains on the bed frame, claiming they “couldn’t be fixed.” This is simply unacceptable for any hospitality business. The second room wasn’t much better—intermittent air conditioning, no phone, and instead of a closet, a large metal clothing rack that was not anchored and could easily tip over when loaded with clothes. Overall, this property lacks basic cleanliness, proper maintenance, and professional customer service. I would strongly advise others to avoid staying here.

My only complaint is that the floors squeak so you hear everything from the people above you. Every time they walk around squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. And it is super loud, but it’s not really anything anybody can do anything about.

Property is quiet, parking area well lit. Front desk clerk took a few minutes to come to desk, room needs better ventilation and air circulation, feels damp. Bathroom was nicely designed but needs baseboard and caulking. Cleaning was mediocre with long hairs found in the sink. Bedding could've been cleaned better.

A wonderful work in progress

The hotel is quite lovely and the staff welcoming. It's at a great location and decorated in very creative ways. Free parking and a decent breakfast. It was undergoing renovations so some things were a bit unfinished or not functioning correctly e.g. the curtains in the room were not hung properly leaving gaps and there were no lamps in the room. Anything we pointed out was promptly attended to and we got apologies for things being less than perfect. We're definitely coming back here.

This hotel has a funky, original vibe without an "original" price. It's extremely affordable, with three big "FREEs"--free breakfast, free parking, and free WiFi. It has extremely clean and spacious rooms with sleek total bathroom remodels. The front desk staff are much friendlier than you usually find at this price point. The only heads-up regards the walkability and location touted by third-party booking sites. This isn't a neighborhood for strolling or sightseeing. While NRG Stadium, decent dining, and other destinations are relatively close, you would do as any native Houstonian would do: you drive.
