This is a great option for downtown Houston. I had a light filled corner room, a very comfortable bed. Nicely finished bathroom with decent soap and shower gel. Breakfast choice was good and wholesome and the restaurant served some delicious food. Everyone was very friendly and efficient - special thanks to restaurant staff and receptionists. I’m not sure if my travels will bring me back to Houston, but if they do, I’ll be back!
Sun filled corner room.

Meh+

The bar in the lobby is great. The “gourmet” breakfast buffet is quite limited. My shower had an odd plastic/soapy thing about the size of a bar of soap stuck in a corner. Service was great except that on Saturday early morning I was awakened by an errant housekeeper ringing my doorbell saying I had already checked out (uh, no) and wanting to clean the room. Much of the hotel is just not very clean. It needs attention.
