I don’t leave reviews so that alone should tell you exactly how my stay went at this hotel. Hotel, staff, location, room cleanliness, everything about this hotel was amazing. Staff was nice and helpful! I would definitely stay here again if i ever went back to Houston. 20/10
The hotel was clean. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, so many options available. The parking garage made parking convenient and secure. The hotel is perfectly located, many restaurants to choose from and is in close proximity to NRG. Front desk staff were unfriendly and acted agitated and annoyed. With the exception of the front desk staff everything was wonderful.
The property was very clean and the room was spacious enough too. They had two pillows; one soft and one firm so that we could choose. That was very considerate.
we stayed for a night after our cruise. The location was great, hotel was clean and modern and the free breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had! Front desk staff were super polite and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
The room and bathroom were spacious and we like that they provide both firm and soft pillows. The only downside is we have to pay for parking but everything else was excellent.
