I stayed at the Lancaster Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The accommodations were perfect, and the art collection was a true highlight. The hotel clerk was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name. The bellman and parking staff were extremely helpful, and the room was spotless. I especially enjoyed learning more about the artwork through the QR codes. Unfortunately, the restaurant and bar staff weren't very friendly, but the food was excellent.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The purpose of this stay was to enjoy a relaxing date night near downtown and get some much‑needed rest. Unfortunately, before 5:00 AM, a loud and unbearable noise started coming from the bathroom - apparently caused by high‑pressure water. The disruption completely ruined the experience, making the stay far from restful and undermining the entire reason for booking the room. It simply ruined our day.

Loved our stay. We only stayed one day but that made an impression. Staff was nice and the room was super cute and we had a personal note which was so sweet. The parking could be better and maybe not so expensive but it’s Houston. We would stay again.
