Very friendly staff

Check in, and right off the bat the staff comped breakfast and upgraded up. When we got to the room, we kinda expected a larger room, but the fact they had a complementary bottle of champagne iced in the room made it all worth while. Food was great, could not have asked for a nicer stay. Was right in the heart of the galleria, lots of shopping, and eating locations around the area. was very pleased, I spoke with Jackie in reservation at the hotel, she went above, and beyond to make my stay worthwhile. Thank you hotel Derek.

Great hotel! The only downside was the valet only parking, here in Houston we are just not used to that! The hotel was clean and neat, only one small burn mark on the carpet of the room.

Hotel Review

Nice room and nicely located in the Galleria in Houston. Seems to cater to the party crowd as we heard noise in the hall until 3am. General location is good during the day but noisy at night. Any hotel of this price range that offers 'intimacy' packs for 8.00 kinda tells you what kind of crowd they typically get. I wouldn't bring my kids but probably would bring my ... ;-)
