Stayed here for one night for a quick getaway with my husband. The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The rooftop deck was wonderful to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Would love to come back for a longer stay and enjoy the other amenities. Close enough to walk downtown for shopping, food, or a great great craft beer at Short's. We were in town before check-in and they texted to let us know our room was ready 2 hours early. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend.

Breathtaking Spillway getaway!

Absolutely wonderful, we couldn’t be happier. The decor is stunning & the check-in process was super easy. All the amenities were fantastic, along with the recommendations for dinner in town. We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary & upon arriving we were welcomed with flowers, swan towels on the bed, some candy, celebration napkins & delicious cupcakes from Ruthann’s Bakery in town. Wow, we are blown away, the hospitality just went above & beyond! We can’t wait to return 💕

The location was close to Downtown Bellaire and we enjoyed the hot tub and the putting area and the fire pit! The condo was very clean and updated with a good view of outside and ac worked well. I will come back for a golf trip or skiing.
