A 50/50 experience, but it’s still a NO for me.

The rooms were clean and nice, and the front desk and bar staff were super friendly, but the experience had several downsides. The view was terrible—just rooftops and walls of other buildings. There was no hot water for the shower, and neither of the bedside lights worked. Parking is 1.5 blocks away for $25 per day, or valet is $50 per day plus tax, all handled online. Valet service had issues: my car was left unlocked, once left running with the starter key taken away, and despite requesting it 45 minutes in advance for an early departure, it took an hour to retrieve. I also encountered two incidents that made me feel uncomfortable. There are nice restaurants within walking distance, but downtown has quite a few homeless people wandering around, and there’s little to no sightseeing. Weekend breakfast includes Mimosas but is not free—starting at $18, with extra charges for turkey or chicken sausages. Due to parking difficulties, having a disability, and specific incidents, I’d consider other options before staying here again. I wouldn’t strongly recommend or discourage it, but I’d suggest considering surrounding hotels first.

My stay at AC Hotel downtown Houston was amazing. The hotel itself and my room was clean. Being a woman, traveling alone I felt safe at this location. There were a few people hanging out front as this is the downtown area, but nothing that made me feel uncomfortable. Every staff member that I encountered was friendly and professional. The guy that checked me in (I forgot his name) was very helpful, he assisted me with catching the train to the rodeo, since this was my first time in Houston and on a train. I was constantly asked if I was okay and if I needed anything. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Our room was as described. Had everything we needed. Very clean property! Only downfalls were the noise level outside (we were on floor 2 in a corner room and the windows aren’t very soundproof from the tram on two sides for pretty much the entire night. Sounded like bad thunder very often. Ear plugs were provided but not used to sleeping with them) and the $18/person, all you can eat, European style breakfast buffet (they couldn’t keep the food stocked fast enough and they weren’t necessarily packed with people) Would stay again if we could be guaranteed a higher floor.

Enjoyed our stay, great hotel! Only issue we had is it was not that quiet. Our room was right over a main road and we could hear all traffic and music from surrounding buildings. However, this would not stop me from staying here again.

The staff at the reception was rude either on the phone they was so disrespectful and didn’t hear to my request and hang up on me and in person the receptionist was lazy and not professional we asked her if we paid for breakfast she was too lazy to recheck on our reservation just says no and the next morning when we went to pay for breakfast they told us by another receptionist that we already paid for it. The room was clean tho. But the staff terrible!
