It was a good hotel. The room smelled a little funny like someone previously had smoked in it. Overall experience was good.

Over charge

Our hotel stay was fine. However, we were charged $199 for a night's stay that had been paid for[...] We certainly hope to be reimbursed for this amount.

Wonderful staff!

The staff was friendly and helpful. I forgot several amenities (last minute trip!) and they went out of their way to get some for me. Cons: No food or shopping within walking distance. Pros: Free shuttle to food and shopping. :-)

Totally Convenient, really humid

I stayed here two nights in April. Room never got below 72 degrees and felt like the humidity was around 75-80%. Staff is SLOW to do any and everything. Hate to say it, but compared to the six other hotels I've stayed at in the last two months, this is by far the worst. The hotel is VERY CONVENIENT to Methodist Hospital, the dental school, and all the other medical and research facilities there and I guess that's why you choose it. Take my advice, stay one block farther away at the HILTON!

Clever Cost of Parking

Took this hotel because it was near Rice Univ. I have to attend events for my son's school recital. Parking service charges you around $30.00 a day (tax included). Self parking is difficult because the hotel is not very helpful in instructing customers...no signs at all to help them for self parking. There are more hotels ( Hilton or Holiday Inn) close by that may be better and more honest.
