When I woke up to use the restroom, the water was off. I called the front desk and they stated that they will call me back with an update. I waited for over an hour and there was no return call I called back again and I was told the same thing, I waited two more hours and no callback. I call back a third time in the Front Desk told me they were on the phone with the water company to resolve the issue and they will give me a call back, but never did the water did come back on a few hours later , the smell of marijuana, was up and down the hallway and young children were sitting on top of the front desk countertop.

Room had dirty blanket and sheets on both beds. Dirty carpets and clumps of something on floor. …. Staff was very good though. Gave us clean sheets (that we put on), got us a tv controller because it was missing. We arrived late and were there to sleep for one night only, actually about five hours, or we would’ve never stayed and would have relocated for sure.

The hotel has potential but its transition to new administration proved to be a problem for us. I picked this hotel because of the airport shuttle and breakfast. It’s a lift service, but they did not communicate that. So I edited for an hour at the airport while trying to contact the hotel staff for clarification.The name change and the phone change confused everyone. I got stuck. So, communicate more the details in Expedia. The staff was very attentive. I do appreciate that!!but they said breakfast was 6 to 9 but there was no breakfast. I just left. Again, respectful staff caring are the reason I don’t give lowest rating

Houston… WE have more than a problem
NEVER AGAIN!! This was an emergency stay due to an early flight out for work. 1st off the pics are nothing like the actual hotel. In fairness, I do believe they are in transition from one owner to the next. 2nd the first room I was assigned looked to have have blood stains all over the carpet, immediately I left and went to front desk and the agent was very helpful and assigned me another room. 3rd, the second room also had stains all over its carpet but the room appeared to be cleaner. The bathroom was horrible though. The tub looked as if it had been used and never cleaned out. Bed felt lumpy so I slept sitting up in the desk chair with my close on and had all of my things sitting on the stand with the tv. Thankfully I didn’t have to use the restroom and all I needed was to brush my teeth and the water bottle I brought in took care of that. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Serious changes need to be done

Do not stay here!!!
Property is not as advertised. Old dilapidated building that wreaks of mildew, mold, and smoke (property advertised as a smoke free facility). Patrons sat and stood outside the entrance and back parking lot smoking and drinking. Paid online but requested refund in person. Denied refund.

People are friendly. Rooms smelt weird. carpets were stained. Headboard were dirty. Put a $60 deposit for the 3 rooms ($180)that my family was staying in on 2/17/2024 and I am still waiting for it to be refunded to my account 3/1/2024. Was told it would only take a couple of days. OK if you are staying one night. Would also like to had that they just changed owners so, maybe it will get better in time.

Unbelieveably bad! New owners are taking a lovely facility and an amazing staff and are doing their best to make sure they have no return guests! Elevator not working upon departure and had to carry my luggage down 3 flights of stairs. No time of repair indicated! No soap in the shower soap containers. No bedspread! Waffle iron timer broken for first 2 days of my stay. Entrance automatic door got stuck and locked me out. I knocked hard on the door and other guests inside found the switch and activated it to make the door open! Guest snack for purchase shelves had been cleaned out by previous owners and not restocked! In spite of the lack of normal guest products and state of decline, I saw no bugs, so the staff is working very hard to do what they can. The staff is lovely. I hope they all find new jobs!!!! I feel for them.
