Disliked: Cleanliness
I don’t even know where to begin. We booked this location due to the photos we saw, the space, and the price. We came to Houston for a large baseball tournament, had planned to stay for 5 days, notified the host we would have the baseball team over and would not exceed 23 guests. To say this place was DISGUSTING, UNSAFE, and MISLEADING is an understatement.
