This was a nice hotel, not to far from where we were going and the staff was very friendly. Bed was a little smaller then I thought, but overall a nice hotel. I would definitely stay there again, if I needed a hotel in the downtown area.

Overall, a good stay in downtown Houston. The rooms are nice. With good views of Houston downtown. They don't have a buffet breakfast but something that you have to order off the menu, which is okay. Breakfast items were tasty though.

First time here. Hotel is well located downtown. Buy the breakfast with your rate, more than worth it. Pool area is good, gym a bit small but more than enough to get a workout in. Property a bit dated in a couple areas but staff more than make up for any shortfalls. Whole team was first rate. Probably had 20+ positive interactions with team members. Front desk team super friendly and helpful, as was the bar and restaurant crew. Also, good value overall for the offering. Would definitely visit if coming back. Job well done!

Great room but one of the outlets were broken so none of the lights would turn on for half the room. Bathrooms are a little smaller than I expected and the lighting is a little dark. The room itself was great clean and nicely decorated. Friendly and attentive staff food at the restaurants was good as well.
