Okay if you need to be in the area.

Disappointing. Clerk was hard to find for check in, room was dirty in certain areas, the shampoo and conditioner were empty, and there was black mold growing on the shower ceiling.

Did not like area that hotel was in. Rough neighborhood Bad hotel layout. And we got put in the worst possible room. Because of layout couldnt open window blinds. They faced the center court yard, with a walkway right out our window. Room was close to the elevator, the ding was heard loudly all night. The staff was not friendly, or helpful. No one was at the desk when i tried to check in, had to wait for her to take her time to come back. Every day (i stayed 4 nights) the key cards had to be reset. They wouldnt work until reset at front desk. Bugs in the bathroom. Main gate was not open, so had to take the side entrance to drive up to the front. Just another added inconvenience. (Because the security had to watch the neighborhood, which is nice because for security of the patrons, but caused inconvenience not being able to drive straight in) The restaurant and breakfast wasnt as expected. Was not able to use the facilities. Overall not super happy with the facility. Was 10-15 minutes from airport.

The photos are misleading on how old this property is. It looks like it was taken over by the Sonesta but not upgraded in any way. My drapes had stains, shower had hair on the walls, garbage was next to the garbage bin (obviously had been missed by the cleaners). There was coffee and teas but no coffee maker. The restaurant/bar didn’t have anything for dinner so I had to walk to Popeyes. Disappointing given the photos showed a more respectable spot.

Though I understand it’s still off season for Houston area hotels, but the pool area was unkept and foliage debris was all around. The hotel windows overlooking the atrium need a really good wash and when Houston weather permits, all the outside windows require a good cleaning. All the ledges that can be seen from the atrium windows require a good dusting. The room itself was clean, updated and spacious. Had some toilet flushing issues and they were taken care of in a timely efficient manner.

Everyone we encountered on the premises was a pleasure to interact with, from the security at the front gate, to the receptionist at the front desk, to the cleaning staff, all were very professional and kind. We will most definitely stay at this property when in Houston again. Thank you all for very pleasurable experience.
