Ideal place to stay if you are in town for any events at the NRG stadium. The hotel is old but niquely revived with a flare of creative decors. Room is nice, clean and spacious. And the rate is reasonably cheap. Definitely will come back again next year.

Better Than Last Time

Located in easy access to NRG park, it is a great location and something of a stealth hotel — cooler on the inside than the exterior might indicate. However, there were a couple of weird things with this stay: 1) No bedside table lamps in my room, so only light was from the main overhead lights. 2) No seating in the hotel room aside from the bed — no desk chair or side chair. That said, the hotel was in better condition than my previous time there (a couple of years ago) and they seem to be making some improvements. The coolest amenity on site is the bar, which is a funky and comfortable lounge. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Towels could be improved.

This was a great place to stay during the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show. It was an easy walk to NRG Stadium, free parking, and a hot breakfast each day. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

My main complaint is no desk or chair of any kind. Also the lamp was leaning against the wall because the base is broken. Also the headboard was on the bed. Lastly, you couldn’t look out the window because the condensation from the AC was dried up. A few other things were out of place but not a big deal.
