We went on a extremely busy weekend FIFA and July 4th. Self park was full we just used the valet parking. The valet staff was very helpful. The staff were so nice and professional and patient as the check in/check out line was getting a bit backed up. Nice pool, room was nice & clean bed comfy. Breakfast had quite a variety and the staff kept the food area clean and stocked with goodies. Easy check in and easy check out. Added plus great location!

Hotel was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Due to my flight out of Houston, I asked for an extra hour for check out and it was no issue. Breakfast and coffee was what you would expect so it was fine. Location was perfect for going to the ballpark. No complaints.

This is a new property so it was immaculate. The staff is young but so helpful and nice. Smells new still. It is really nice, accessible. Rooms are a good size as well. Will definitely consider for any other downtown stays in the future.

The hotel was very clean and the rooms are very nice given that it is brand new. The staff were all very kind. My review circles around the fact that they have a few kinks to work out related to managing the crowds, especially related to Astros game weekends. The continental breakfast ran out of food quickly and took a while to restock if restocked at all. This included coffee, pastries, and hot items. At one point it was essentially empty and there were 2 more hours left. The folks were working hard to restock as best they could, but they were definitely understaffed and not prepared for so many people. Following one game the bartender was also overwhelmed for so many people waiting to order and definitely needed more support and/or another bartender. I would definitely stay here again and give it a solid 4 stars for a "good" rating because the stay was good.

We enjoy the amenities, the breakfast, the staff and the room. We were disappointed that our room wasn't cleaned entirety when we asked housekeeping to come to our room to be serviced. Overall, it was great and definitely would've let front desk know if we wasn't so tired and leaving the next day.
