The hotel offers clean, quiet, comfortable and spacious rooms. The mattress is firm but not too hard. The pillows are soft but not too much so. The bathroom offers body wash, shampoo and hair conditioner. The hotel is located at the southern end of downtown Houston, but within an easy walking distance to all of the downtown area. Moreover, getting an Uber/Lyft never required a wait longer than 5 minutes for trips outside of downtown.

The bathrooms are perhaps a bit small although well organized. There is no rack to dry the towel after a shower. Some of the amenities did not work properly (e.g. room safe did not operate at all, one of the faucets was loose, and the wifi signal was very weak on the 11th floor). Finally, in the morning, as things get quite busy, the elevator wait can be very long especially for those on the upper floors of the hotel.

The room had all the things expected and required. Great with ironing board, iron, and hairdryer. Work space came handy, and the bed was very comfy. Facilities were nice, outside bar with live music as well as breakfast restaurant- both with lovely staff! Thank you Vicky! I would stay here again if I return to Houston.

Nothing really, but just as feedback; The hotel corridors could do with a bit of refreshment, but that didn't bother me or influence my general impression of the hotel. I was working a fair bit in my room, and just a bit stronger light would be good.

Hotel is located on the "outskirts" of downtown, so a lot less foot and vehicle traffic. The lobby looked nice. Hotel appeared clean in the areas we visited. Saw many reviews about the valet parking but there is a covered garage right next door that we used. Quick check in and checkout.

No huge issues but there was practically an entire wall of outlets in the room that did not work, so we had to alternate charging our devices at the nightstand. Very small bathroom. Long wait for the elevators. No mini fridge or microwave in the room.

I chose the hotel mainly because it offered great price in the city center, with walkable distance to Toyota Center. It's located in what seems to be a financial district so it's very quiet and the area seems to be super safe.

I think I have just one complaint. Even though I booked the room for four people and it was advertised as 'breakfast included' it wasn't included at first. I had to ask staff about it and the lady at the counter wasn't too happy fulfilling my request. I was given only two vouchers for a breakfast even though the room, as I said earlier, was booked for four. The lady explained it's their policy and she can only give me two vouchers... So, keep that in mind if you go there with larger group. The breakfast itself will cost you around $20 otherwise. Basically, in this regard it's far below what you'll get for a 4*, or even 3* run of the mill hotel in Europe.

I was afraid because the size of the bed in a deluxe king room but it was totally comfortable for me and my two children (18, 15 years). It was a little bit unusual but ok. The hotel is in reachable distance from everything in Houston. (by taxi)

Furniture, floor and bathroom were settled down and used up. I let my sons pyjamas in the bed, by the clean up was lost forever. I asked every morningon the reception, but they didn't find ever. The pool wasn't big enough. In my opinion it wasn't a 4* hotel. It wasn't worth for this price.

The staff were mostly helpful. The bed was comfortable.

What is it with shower curtains in the US? They went out 10 years ago. The hotel could do with an update. The hotel was a long way from restaurants and bars despite advertising itself as down town. It is in the business district near busy roads. The restaurant in the hotel was dark expensive and uninviting. It seems to cater for conferences and business use mostly. Parking is very expensive. For tourists, it is not worth the money.

Bed was super comfy. Location for getting out and about was great. Breakfast and female staff member who made the best coffee was great. Really enjoyed the outdoor bar on the Friday night, cocktails were great and the food was amazing, totally intended eating and drinking here again. We were expecting a parcel to be delivered to the hotel and unfortunately it arrived after we had gone back to Scotland. We had spoken with John and another member of front desk staff who assured us they would take parcel and contact us to arrange delivery back to UK and we would arrange payment etc. Unfortunately after we had left I heard nothing from the hotel. I emailed John Flores and received no reply, I emailed reception no reply, so this was very disappointing, after being advised they would look after this for us. However I called the hotel and had the great fortune to be transferred to the amazing Amy Nguyen, she was absolutely fantastic. She arranged the FedEx transportation of our parcel, she kept in touch with me for 2 weeks, due to some difficulties with FedEx and the parcel. She is an absolute credit to this hotel and the main reason for the top review on staff and hotel. She went over and above and deserves recognition for her help. So once again Amy, thank you so much.

After enjoying an evening in the outdoor bar on the Friday, we were excited to eat here again, but it was closed on the Sat, Sun night which was very disappointing. There was a power cut on the Sunday night which led to us waking up on the Monday with no power in the hotel, no emergency lights in corridor, had to use phone to guide ourselves out of the room, spent the day at the space centre, back to the hotel about 5pm only to find power still out and we had to transfer hotel on our last night, not ideal, but out of hotels control I guess.

Our room initially didn’t have a fridge, but they did bring one to our room after being asked. I wish I had known previously that the hotel was valet only so I could prepare accordingly. It would be nice to have a self-park option.
