The staff were nice, but the rooms could have been cleaner. There were some fruit flies in the room when I would eat food. The ac/heater smelled very dirty. The walls are very thin so you can hear the neighbors on either side. Honestly, it was very cheap, and you get what you pay for.

The room itself was nice, AC was off when I got there so I had to sit in a stuffy room for a bit but that’s more of a minor mistake. Mostly clean, drawers definitely could’ve been cleaned more but wasn’t a bother for me since I was only staying one night. Area itself was okay, not much to do in the immediate vicinity, and some of the other people staying there seemed a little off but that isn’t really the location’s fault!

It was better than I thought it would be but the cord from the tv couldnt reach the socket, a few of the socket covers were loose or hanging from the wall and the toilet seat was broken. Might've needed to sweep and mop also. Floors were kinda filthy. Other than that, it was fine. No bugs, the refrigerator worked and the a/c worked pretty good.

The property appears quite old but that wasn’t the issue for me. When I first stepped into the room, I was greeted by a faint smell of cigarette smoke, which was unpleasant at first but not unbearable. Upon initial inspection, I found several small brown stains on my bedsheet. I asked front desk if changing the sheets would be possible and they decided to change my room instead. Upon entering the second room, I was hit by the smell of mold along with the cigarette smell from before. Thankfully, I quickly got used to it and the smell only really bothered me every time I would step into the room after being away. The bedsheets in the new room were cleaner, but I still noticed a faint red stain. I decided to keep this room, however, as I figured they would all be slightly dirty in this way. However, multiple of the towels were visibly dirty and 2 of the 3 pillows provided had various debris and someone else’s hair stuck on them. Thankfully there was one pillow with only minor debris that I was able to use. The sheets smelled of course. The AC worked but was quite loud so it could be hard to sleep. Finally, the hair dryer plugged into the wall didn’t work (outlet’s fault I think), but admin was able to give me a different hairdryer which I could plug in somewhere else. Overall, I would pay a bit more for a better accommodation next time I visit Houston, as I just could not feel comfortable with the lack of cleanliness. 2 stars rather than one because service was good.

This motel was located right off the interstate and was conveniently really close, one mile, from Baylor Medical School, where I was having a doc appointment at. Staff were really friendly and very helpful. Hotel is located close to a good variety of restaurants within 10 min drive in most directions. Also was within a 10 min drive of NRG stadium. Only down side is that it is located on a major road, which can have heavy traffic at times. This may make it difficult to drive around and get to various things depending on the time of day and other happenings in town. But Houston traffic is notoriously bad, so I just expected it and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get around town relatively easily.
