This was a nice stay. I love the unique vibe here. The breakfast was pretty decent, there was sausage, eggs, biscuits, fruit cups, yogurt, cinnamon buns, etc. And the location is good. My only issue was with the bathroom. Our shower door was off track so it was a struggle opening and closing. There was no lid on the toilet, so toilet germs are just flying around when you flush. And there was absolutely no where to put your shower items. No rack, no soap dish, nothing. We had to put our stuff on the shower floor, yuck. Its the little things for me! I could have gave a 5 if it wasnt for those things. Overall though a decent stay.

Stay here just for one night. Staff was friendly, the ambience of the hotel was great, the bar was a bit pricey, and the breakfast needed for variety. However the overall experience was great.

21+ Requirement not Listed

Nowhere on their website or on hotels.com did it state that to check in one must be 21. I booked this hotel for my 19 year old and her friend because the site said “adults 18+.” The manager let them stay but only because they had nowhere else to go and were so far from home. Almost ruined a fun birthday trip because of misinformation on these sites.

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.

The lady at check-in was very nice even after dealing with a very rude customer right before helping me. She explained breakfast times, bar hours, and gave me information about the shuttle service. Hotel was very clean. Darrell, the shuttle driver was very nice and got us to and from our event at the NRG pretty quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay, but missed a couple details.

I came to Houston for a medical procedure/surgery. Upon check-in the receptionist kindly gave me a room on the first floor for ease of access. The room was clean. It seemed like it was being renovated and a couple things weren’t completely done. I’m a contractor by trade and noticed a loose and missing tile by the tub, a missing strike plate(where the deadbolt laches) on the room door, and a missing threshold under the door(should seal for fire safety). That didn’t affect my stay any, but others would appreciate those details being complete. It would make the stay feel a little more like “home.” The parking lot was well lit and felt secure. Overall, the breakfast was good, the staff was kind, and the bed was comfortable. Hotel Ylem made for a good stay.
