Most things in the room were new and clean except for the blackout shade and the desk chair; both looked as if they had been chewed by an alligator.

My stay was good. Only complaint is that my sheets were slightly stained and the gym needed attention, but other than that everything was fine! I’d stay again for the location. It was close enough to downtown for a quick Uber ride but still out of the way of busy traffic.

Fantastic stay

We arrived early and intended to just leave our bags there while we did other things, but were able to check into our room. The room was sparkling clean and the beds comfortable. I asked for an extra blanket and got one immediately. Our tv didn't work and were offered to move to another room. We were only there for 2 nights so decided to stay in the room. We were told someone came in to fix the tv. but could tell they never really did. Management and rest of staff went above and beyond to make us happy in that regard. Though we didn't use them, there's a nice indoor pool and exercise room. Breakfast was plentiful with hot foods (not just packaged pastries), but not that tasty. Pancake maker was out of service but they provided premade pancakes, though they were tough. All in all it was much better than most every other hotel! Yusef was a standout staff member!

Just ok

For the price and location, I expected this hotel to be a little better. Pros: everything was very clean, staff were great, bedding was comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. Cons: this hotel billed itself as "soundproof rooms." While I couldn't hear much from the rooms beside us, the noise outside sounded like it was in the room. I wore ear plugs and still heard traffic noise all night. I'm guessing the windows were terrible, because it was also really muggy in our room. I get it, we're near the gulf coast. Houston is muggy. But everything was kinda damp the whole time. We only stayed one night, and got there late, so they may have switched rooms if we asked. But it didn’t seem worth it for the short time we were there. If you stay here, ask for a room that doesn’t face the freeway, and maybe you can avoid the noise at least. Breakfast was ok. There were decent options, but nothing was hot. The coffee was good and hot though. There were few options for people who need to avoid dairy or other allergens. I wish this hotel brand as a whole would add some options for people with dietary restrictions.
