This place was the pits of absolute hell! NO AIR-CONDITION- drug smell throughout the facility.. the pool is nothing like the photos and nothing worked. 1 singular person working July 4th weekend. No management, no fans, had to call security over a domestic dispute in the adjacent room. Security did absolutely nothing because he said he didn’t see the male hit the female.. so he made the recommendation to them to “lower their voice” if I could give the the opposite of 5⭐️ it would be negative infinity . This is a place of misdeeds and zero accountability.. absolute filth!

Though I understand it’s still off season for Houston area hotels, but the pool area was unkept and foliage debris was all around. The hotel windows overlooking the atrium need a really good wash and when Houston weather permits, all the outside windows require a good cleaning. All the ledges that can be seen from the atrium windows require a good dusting. The room itself was clean, updated and spacious. Had some toilet flushing issues and they were taken care of in a timely efficient manner.

Everyone we encountered on the premises was a pleasure to interact with, from the security at the front gate, to the receptionist at the front desk, to the cleaning staff, all were very professional and kind. We will most definitely stay at this property when in Houston again. Thank you all for very pleasurable experience.

Well kept for an older property. Desk staff was rarely available after 7 p.m… Security at the entrance, though probably necessary for the area, made you feel like a problem if you left and returned at night without a pass that no one was at the front desk to issue.
