The property was being renovated (Feb25) but it didn't very much interfere with the stay. Information about using the tram (how to use and where to buy tickets) which is only one block away would be helpful. Only 4 tram stops from the museum district and walking distance to NRG Stadium. So handy location at a good price, clean and friendly staff. I'd go back there

Room was definitely not as expected. Had musty smell. Dirty surfaces, no hangers, toilet seat was broken, rug in bathroom was falling apart, no holder for toilet paper, no hooks anywhere in the room to hang towels, coat, purse etc. microwave in room broken. Overall very disappointed. Will never recommend.

We stayed at this hotel in the summer of 2023 and had a good experience. This time around, it was a very frustrating and upsetting one instead. The room was organized but upon further inspection, there was a lot of dirt and grime in places around the room. The doors of the room always swung open when we would mostly close them. We encountered our first roach during a shower Friday night and weren't very pleased with that finding. When we came back to our room Saturday night, from a long day of work at the convention we were working in, there was a bunch of white stuff on the floor under and near the a/c unit. Upon further inspection, it was small pieces of styrofoam. We informed the front desk about it and was told that "we have a vacuum you can use", having us clean up the mess that we did not make from their renovations from the outside coming inside. This morning, Sunday, as we were packing up to leave, we encountered not one but two more roaches in the bathroom. When we mentioned this problem, we were given a very silly answer in response. We got out as quick as possible and did not bother with the lackluster continental breakfast. The past two breakfasts were severely underwhelming and rather disgusting. The beds were the only good experience we had during our stay. We will not be staying at here for future downtown conventions.

The staff was great!!! The condition of the hotel was very poor. Our room was on the first floor and it smelled like wet dog/mold. We asked to change rooms and the staff was awesome and told us to check out another room on the second floor and it was the same awful smell. The rooms had no hangers to hang our clothes. The pillows were awful. There was nothing in the shower to put the soap or shampoo. I would not stay there again and would not recommend. Again, the staff was great and did the best they could under the circumstances. Management needs to step up to the plate. I rate this place as a 2-3 tops.

Not good

The lobby was fine, but when we got to the room, there was still makeup and hair on our pillows! They didn’t even clean the room. Terrible.. we had to ask for new sheets and change them ourselves.
