Just ok

For the price and location, I expected this hotel to be a little better. Pros: everything was very clean, staff were great, bedding was comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. Cons: this hotel billed itself as "soundproof rooms." While I couldn't hear much from the rooms beside us, the noise outside sounded like it was in the room. I wore ear plugs and still heard traffic noise all night. I'm guessing the windows were terrible, because it was also really muggy in our room. I get it, we're near the gulf coast. Houston is muggy. But everything was kinda damp the whole time. We only stayed one night, and got there late, so they may have switched rooms if we asked. But it didn’t seem worth it for the short time we were there. If you stay here, ask for a room that doesn’t face the freeway, and maybe you can avoid the noise at least. Breakfast was ok. There were decent options, but nothing was hot. The coffee was good and hot though. There were few options for people who need to avoid dairy or other allergens. I wish this hotel brand as a whole would add some options for people with dietary restrictions.

I would love to stay here again! This has honestly been the best hotel we have ever stayed at. As soon as you walk in you can smell how clean it is. We felt worry free of our vehicle and safe with a security car outside all night long. Complimentary parking and easy access to the exit and entry points. Shampoo, conditioner, handsoap, lotion bottles were all full size and had push down tops for easy access. No squeezing small bottles or opening wrappers for bar soaps. The staff was excellent and friendly. Like I said, I would stay here again!
