While we enjoyed our stay at the hotel ylem, there were a few things that could have been improved. The hotel is a bit rundown looking from the outside, and definitely on the inside. Most annoying was the lack of any hooks, shower shelves, or toilet paper holder in the bathroom. WiFi is sketchy. However the bed was really comfy and the breakfast was ok. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Best of all was the shuttle to NRG stadium free of charge.

DO NOT BOOK OR STAY HERE!!! WiFi was down. Bar was closed (per staff, had been closed for a while now). The rooms were damp and smelled musty. Probably full of mold. Which I am highly allergic to. Requested to move to another room and was told the hotel was fully booked and there were no other rooms available. My friends’ room was so bad they left and stayed at another hotel down road. The chairs in the lounge area were covered in stains. I was completely disgusted with the whole experience. Needless to say, I will NOT be staying at the hotel again. I encourage others to stay away and drive a little further down the street (like 2 blocks) and stay elsewhere.
