It was old, rusty in areas, the bathroom was not clean, the tub was rusting at the drain and it just felt, overall, shabby.

I checked into my room, placed my food on the counter, got in the shower and thought I was ready to end my day. However, upon exiting the shower, I noticed "roaches" on my food. I quickly dressed and called the front desk. They weren't the least bit concerned, and did not offer to assist in finding a new property. I checked out and got my receipt, and they submitted for a refund from Travelocity. I had to find my own hotel, and pay more money. I will NEVER stay at the property again!!! Customer service is lacking, and concern for guest is horrible.

Not fancy, but clean

Hotel rooms are run down. Carpet is old, furniture is abused. However, location was good for us, it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Very Good Choice

Brought my mother in from Phoenix for two nights, the location is great from a traffic and safety viewpoint, the hotel, room, and staff were terrific and accommodating. I travel frequently and don't write many reviews but feel if you are headed to Houston, you should give this serious consideration.

Hello Tim and thank you for a very nice review. Glad that you enjoyed and hope you will return soon! Best regards, Debbie

The elevators were reportedly creepy but I found them no more creepy than your average creeky, marble and faux wood clad elevators. The security bar was broken in our room but the deadbolt functioned fine. The in room fridge was hilariously loud, especially considering it couldn't keep a beer cold. We unplugged it so it wouldn't wake the neighbors. Overall, it was clean and easy to get in and out of. I would stay again despite the few complaints I stated.

Disappointing

Pros: View. Friendliness of staff.
Cons: Update. If nothing else, please have the walls cleaned and repaint them.
Location: Chick-fil-A across the street. Galleria Mall not too far.
This hotel is in need of upkeep. The lobby is well kept but the rooms are disappointing for a hotel of this caliber. The room was a nice size with a beautiful view of the city, however, the heat did not work and the walls were very dirty and marred. How expensive is it to paint one room? Despite those two issues, I slept well and even enjoyed the sound of the highway traffic on the 15th floor.
