Um…

I was not expecting the hotel to look like it did. I can tell they put some effort into the rooms but my shower was rusted and not great. I’m in town for a conference and there was no iron or ironing board. I did not feel safe in the location at all.

This place is very run down! Broken jagged tile I’m bathroom, nothing updated, do it yourself fixed. Loud dripping in refrigerator all night long. They tried to charge me again at check in. The woman couldn’t hear me through her glass enclosure and wanted me to pay her cash. Worst motel experience I’ve had.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

do not stay here!!! Air conditioner barely works. Shower is awful. Disgusting actually. Very sketchy neighborhood, so I slept with lights and t.v. on just so it looked like I was awake, which I actually was because I was afraid. Upon checkout, I needed just one little extra hour because I was waiting on my car to get out of the shop which is the whole reason I was in Houston and was told "check out is at 11, no excuses." Are you kidding me? And housekeeping hadn't even arrived for their shift. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE on top of all the above. DO NOT STAY HERE, ESP. IF YOU HAVE KIDS!!! OR ARE A FEMALE TRAVELING ALONE.
