Oh my goodness, we love Hotel Effie. My husband are empty nesters, and have taken an after-Christmas break for two years now. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and we love the closeness to Baytowne Wharf. This year we had a couple’s massage that was perfect: deep tissue for him and hot stones for me. Again, the experience and facilities were great, with everything we needed for a hot shower, then off to breakfast! I feel pampered when we stay at Hotel Effie.
