— Lower quality room than other Sonesta properties. — No hot water in the room, only lukewarm. — Impossible to take a shower; tub was extremely slick and unsafe, and there was no safety mat. — Even the coffee maker was broken and wouldn’t turn on!

This hotel could really use some upgrades, the carpet was stained, and the walls were dirty and cracked. We could have overlooked those things, but what truly shocked us were the gunshots that woke us up around 5 a.m.

Great location with walkable access to Galleria mall, restaurants, and more. The pictures do not adequately depict the room which was pretty small and dated. Breakfast was decent as it provided typical continental meal options. Service was great and staff were welcoming.

I think some simple fixes would have made my stay better: smiling faces on staff, usb outlet in room, cleanliness of pool, pest control outside, some better landscaping, better breakfast items, cleanliness of patio area and front bench area... positives were great housekeepers (room refresh), good value for room and room amenities and location!
