A decent restaurant in the lobby, and the free limo service was nice. Free internet, but the PC in the lobby had trouble printing my boarding pass (it had a virus).

Inconvenient room layout
Marguerite Feb 13, 2008
The Lancaster Hotel had a great location and exterior charm but my room was cramped with an inconvenient layout. The bed's ... footboard had large posts that I kept bumping into as I squeezed between bed and desk. The closet was located inside the bathroom, and I had to close the bathroom door to fully open the closet door. The bathroom did have a long sink counter, shelving beneath the mirror for toiletries and a separate bath area. The room also had a small luggage rack that just fit between the windows. On a positive note, there were electrical outlets near the bed and in the base of the desk lamp, the wireless internet signal was strong and there was a good mix of cable channels to choose from. The plush bathrobes were another plus.

Though my trip was business-focused, my stay at the Lancaster was the next best thing to home! Every detail was attended to ... from the fresh linens, the friendly wait staff and the delicious breakfast. The hotel is charming, well appointed and close to the businesses and places of interest I needed to visit. I would certainly come back!

Theatre Goers Romantic Retreat
Nan Jul 1, 2007
My husband and I love to attend theatre productions at least several times a year and this particular weekend i decided to ... try out The Lancaster as a special treat. We were thrilled with the hotel's location in proximity to the theatre!! The property is beautiful, quaint, and small enough to guarantee very personal attention. We were extremely impressed with every staff person we came in contact with and service was of excellent quality, and too quick for belief. For example, we called for ice and it was delivered to our door within 5 minutes, with a smile. We enjoyed a fantastic in-room breakfast but look forward to eating in the lovely hotel restaurant on our next visit, as well. We utilized the hotel's complimentary Town Car service for door-to-door transport to the theatre and the young man who drove us was, like all of the staff, efficient, poised, and cheerful. We will surely stay at The Lancaster again soon. it takes a lot to impress us- our standards are very high, and The Lancaster not only met, but exceeded these standards!!!!

Bayou Place, home of several great restaurants, including the fun Hard Rock Cafe, is across the street.

Romantic Honeymoon Stay
Ray May 21, 2007
The Lancaster was excellent. Everything was beyond our expectations as far as the room setting and the whole hotel. The ... best part about the hotel besides its superb location for the plays was the friendly and helpful staff. The staff was ready to do whatever was needed to make our honeymoon the best and they did.
Traveler type: Couples
The theatre district is right there. We saw two plays across the street. The Bayou Place is two blocks away. The Aquarium Center is about 3 1/2 blocks. We walked back from Minute Maid Park. And there were plenty of places to eat within walking distance. If you couldn't walk there was a hotel car to take you.
