This hotel is a hidden gem! The staff was friendly and welcoming. We had the best sleep ever on the extremely comfortable mattress and heavenly pillows. We were impressed by the extra care free options for visitors who were there for medical treatments at the hospital complex. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Houston.

Better Than Last Time

Located in easy access to NRG park, it is a great location and something of a stealth hotel — cooler on the inside than the exterior might indicate. However, there were a couple of weird things with this stay: 1) No bedside table lamps in my room, so only light was from the main overhead lights. 2) No seating in the hotel room aside from the bed — no desk chair or side chair. That said, the hotel was in better condition than my previous time there (a couple of years ago) and they seem to be making some improvements. The coolest amenity on site is the bar, which is a funky and comfortable lounge. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Towels could be improved.

This was a great place to stay during the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show. It was an easy walk to NRG Stadium, free parking, and a hot breakfast each day. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

My main complaint is no desk or chair of any kind. Also the lamp was leaning against the wall because the base is broken. Also the headboard was on the bed. Lastly, you couldn’t look out the window because the condensation from the AC was dried up. A few other things were out of place but not a big deal.

The room needs better lighting. No hairdryer was provided like most hotels. The noise in the bathroom keeps you from getting a good night’s sleep.

Husband's surgery was scheduled and easier to stay before and after due to length of travel to and from home. Have stayed here before and will stay again. Most of the upgrades they are making are nice - still wish they had some type of shelf in the shower and that they had left a lid on the toilet instead of just an upgraded seat but...
