La Quinta Inn & Suites Houston Galleria Area

When we checked in, we had to stay one night in a smoking room. The staff assured us that we could move the following day. They were right on top of it the next day and we moved with no issue. The room was clean and nice and the location was good for our purposes. The breakfast was good. The outside patio and pool area were nice. We would have preferred a small refrigerator in the room.

Convientient, comfortable traffic was very heavy to and from hotel. .

I stayed in this hotel mainly due to its proximity to the River Oaks area and the price. This proved to be a mistake. Room - I arrived around 10pm after a long flight, checked in and went to my room. Unfortunately, it wasn't made up, so I trudged back to the lobby with my bags and asked for another. The second room was a smoking room (I had asked for non-smoking) and went back to the lobby again. I was told there were no other rooms. I took the key back and started to walk away, but came back and said, "You just HAVE to have another room". What a surprise, they did. This room was a little larger (certainly no palace) but was at least clean and smoke-free. The whole episode probably wasted 30-40 minutes. The room itself was utterly forgettable. Breakfast (included in the price) was in the main lobby area and was only OK. Transport - I turns out that the address of this hotel is hard for taxis to locate. Two different ones got lost trying to find it to come pick me up for meetings (that I was ultimately late for). I don't recommend it unless the price is right for you.

Room was comfortable. Pool water could have been warmer. Continental breakfast offered many options. Staff was exceptional. Would return again.

I checked in late, so they upgraded me to King room at no additional charge. The room was spacious and clean. It was well laid out without the cramped feel of many hotel rooms. Because I only had a one night stay, arrived late and bolted out early to meet someone for breakfast I didn't have an opportunity to really find out about the hotel. What I did experience was pleasant.

The location is good, it is about 1 mile to the Galleria, the staff was really helpful, the hotel was clean but it has a strange smell the corridor of my floor (3rd). In general, it has a good price for the quality.

Yes, as you can see according to the rating I provided above, I do not have any complains and all the stay ran very smoothly. My reason for going to Houston for such a short trip, since I am at present in La Paz, Bolivia, was that my daughter Lucinda Smith was an elite runner in the Team Olympic Trials this past Saturday 14. My family were in 3 different hotels, including The Hilton Galleria, their rates were much lower than mine even though they stayed in 5-stars hotels. Maybe when booking, there should have been that option, thus I could have had a lower rate. We understand that all the hotels near the Convention area were offering discounts for this important race.

From the time we arrived until the time we departed, the staff was great. They were curtious, helpful and informative. They were knowledgeable about the area and eager to make great suggestions to out of towners. The lobby, hallways, and rooms were all nicely decorated and very clean.

It is a good hotel to stay in for a few days. There's a great breakfast. The only bad thing is that there is only one person in the front desk and sometimes you can be waiting there for a while. Other than that it's good.

The only problem I had was checking in. They wanted to place me in a smoking room. They stated that a non-smoking room was not guaranteed, even if requested at the time of reservation. I am sensitive to cigarette odors. I loudly complained to the staff, and they then found me a non-smoking room. The front desk staff are "not ready for prime time."
