Great location to the downtown children's museum and aquarium. Had a good variety of breakfast items just not much space in the lobby to eat. Not bad if you are just looking for a place to crash at night.

Very clean place to sleep
Very clean hotel and is quite comfortable. The only gripe is the construction that did wake me at 6am.

Very nice place for decent prices.
Pros-The rooms were more than I had expected very nice furniture and I didn't notice until the second day that they had three pillows of all different kinds. Soft and fluffy, one of a firmer pillow, and then the third was I nice big body pillow. The was very clean and not disgusting. Cons-The breakfast was horrible. They had very not so polite staff. Those are my only complaints.

It is a functional two star motel.
Did not love this place and would not recommend it to anyone unless they had no other option. Bed and pillows were really REALLY soft, the towels and washcloths were stained and scratchy, the A/C smelled moldy which explained the funky stink in the room, the noise from the road was non-stop. Overall cleanliness was okay, but furnishings and paint were obviously old. For $68 a night I expect a lot more.

Great for a short stay
I had a short weekend stop in Houston. From here it was easy to get anywhere.. downtown and around the city. Close to Freeway but not noisy. Room was clean and staff very helpful. Got shuttle bus to airport. I'd stay again.

To go to the airport take the shuttle bus. If traffic is bad it can keep moving on the HOV lane.

Affordable and clean
My room was clean and supplied well. Front desk was very helpful. Continental breakfast was a nice added bonus. I would stay at this hotel again and do recommend it if you are on a budget.

First Trip to Houston
Service was good but not sure this hotel deserved the 3 star rating offered on the [...]web site. For the money, however, it fulfilled its purpose. Be aware of traffic of I10 and give yourself a few extra minutes if heading to the downtown area.

Make yourself at home!
I really liked my staying at this hotel. They call you by your name and that made me feel important. The location is great too.
