There is not an official type desk in the room with a desk chair. Some of us that travel need to do computer work. Smelled like smoke in the room. There is a bar that in the evening was actually open and a nice setting. Parking limited right in front of the entry, was to the far end of the building. Great close proximity to the AT&T center for a concert or game.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The aesthetic of the hotel is vintage which is what caught my eye. I did an early check in. The room I had got there were dirt and stains on the pillows and sheets. The room didn’t have any towels. And it had an old dirt smell. I went to front desk requesting new sheets and pillow cases and towels, the front desk representative was very disrespectful saying that if I wanted clean sheets and towels I needed to call before 11am which I had just checked in. The nice lady that originally checked me in was leaving so I guess there was a shift change. So I go back to my room , I look at the window and there is a car parked right at my window. So I instantly started feeling more uncomfortable. I go to the front desk and ask to just get a new room because someone’s car is right in front of my window , she said “oh that’s just our bartenders car I will ask him to move it” at this point I have somewhere to be and can’t get ready because it took a while for them to move the car so I went back and asked for a refund, she then tried to offer me another room and I had already booked another room because it was too much happening and I was extremely uncomfortable and was receiving horrible service because she kept being smart like she didn’t want to help me

The connivence of the hotel was perfect for a 2night stay. Clean and love the decor. Staff was a bit uptight and not informative about how you hav to request housekeeping. Had to repeatedly ask front desk for more towels til i was able to get some. Breakfast was okay, love that you are close to other restaurants and store options.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Room comfort

your mileage may vary

The staff were friendly and responsive. The property is clean and the breakfast is more than adequate. However, the room experience was considerably below my expectations, based on prior reviews. I was provided with threadbare, stained towels which were too small to wrap around my average-sized body. The water pressure is poor and the shower head only has a few spouts...it was difficult to bathe properly. There was no clock in the room and the closet area had NO HANGERS. The only source of illumination in the room is a BIG LIGHT which is overheard but only controlled by the switch by the door. Without the TV, I would have stumbled badly on the way back to bed. The refrigerator and A/C worked well, though. Overall, it was a very uneven experience. Were it not for the convenience of the location to the activities I had planned, I would have checked out after the 1st night and slept on my friend's toddler's floor.

Close to tons of restaurants and NRG stadium. The only thing was that when it came time for me to check in, I went to my room only for me to find the door open and the room in a state of uncleanliness. After reporting this to the front desk, I waited for 15-20 minutes before getting assigned another one. One of the housekeepers found my predicament to be amusing for one reason or another.

Laundry services aren’t available

Booked this hotel because I was staying with a family member in MD Anderson hospital and needed a hotel with laundry facilities. Got there and was told laundry was out of order so I only stayed one night instead of 2 because I needed to find a different hotel with available services. When I checked in after I was told they were broken and changed reservation front desk said hotels.com needed to refund 2nd night and hotels.com said hotel needed to,needless to say neither did anything and I got no refund. There’s only 1 reason to stay in that area of town and it’s the hospital, if your equipment is broken make sure to update your website.
