This was an excellent hotel, Except for the fact that we got bedbug bites. This can happen anywhere. But I called several days after our stay and never heard back from the manager, as I was promised.

Liked: Cleanliness

Disliked: Amenities

The website description was misleading. It claimed to be a boutique hotel, but our experience did not reflect that. The room was sparsely furnished—with what looked like a leftover restaurant chair (plastic with metal legs)—and the furniture was dinged up and had paint splatters, as did the carpet and walls. We were given only two towels and one washcloth—no hand towels, no toilet paper holder, no towel hooks, and no shelf or storage in the shower. It was all very strange. While the staff was friendly, the “local, eclectic, artistic” vibe described online was nowhere to be found. The walls, ceilings, and doors were paper thin—we could clearly hear the neighbor’s TV (even though it wasn’t loud), every footstep above us, and even the ice machine dispensing. The listing mentioned a shuttle within a 3-mile radius, but on arrival we learned it was only for medical appointments—so it didn’t cover the event we were attending. The location was an easy walk to NRG Stadium, but the surrounding neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. Also, at check-in they required a physical card with printed numbers because they didn’t accept chip or tap-to-pay. It worked for a single night, but we would not stay here again.

Again, very disappointed!

I've stayed at this location many times over 8 years as I get treatment at MD Anderson. For several years it was my "go to" hotel and home away from home.... however it has become so run-down and it appears ownership just doesn't care. I stopped coming to this hotel around 2 years ago, however I come back once in awhile hoping it's found it's way back - it hasn't, and nothing shows any attempt to. This time I came back because it was just me, and was only in town to sleep a few hours. It's truly too bad; it's a great location and I've had a lot of fun here years ago. They place is dirty, run down, poor attention to detail.... so many better in the area

Everyone was so nice and kind front desk was very helpful even got a shuttle to the concert. Only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is because I found a roach in the shower. Other than that so really enjoyed my stay.

Didn't have enough towels and wash cloths, only one wash cloth for 2 people. However, outside of that experience was excellent, staff is friendly, great location, very good complimentary breakfast. Highly recommend
