Stay anywhere else! I was greeted by a locked door and then a kid in PJ pants and no shoes. The hotel smelled bad - carpets were DISGUSTING! I didn't even want to take my shoes off in the room. Didn't feel very safe. Parking was not included - so I ended up paying more than if I would have... More

Booked this based on the high tripadvisor ratings--bad idea. This place is a wreck. Pay an extra $100 and stay at the Hilton--it's worth the peace of mind. Parking due to "special event" pricing (during basketball games) is a joke and the hotel attendant really couldn't be less helpful. They fumbled over an Orbitz reservation and were swarmed by homeless... More

I spent 4 nights in Houston working at the Convention Center. The Athens Hotel is within walking distance to the convention center (and arena), and was the least expensive option for this area. Here is my experience; It was raining when I went to check in. The front door was locked. I rang the doorbell repeatedly to gain entrance. I... More

We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Paul McCartney concert in Houston on November 14, 2012. In searching for a decently priced hotel within walking distance of Minute Maid Park AND the Toyota Center. What a great surprise! Not only were the rooms very homey and comfy, the hosts are awesome and welcoming. Both our individual room and... More

Saw a concert @ Toyota Center, this place was perfect!!! Able to walk to concert. Restaurants w/in walking distance. Rooms were very clean. No problems with reservations for 2 rooms that was made a few months ago. Will definately stay again!

It was a good location and rate. There was an odor in the hotel and room that older places have. We were traveling with our dog so there was not much choice. At first we were told the charge for the dog was $50 then when we checked in it was $75. No ice machine.

This hotel was right near the convention Center and within walking distance to everything we needed. The staff was so courteous and we loved the European Style hotel design. Thanks Houston, whata wonderful experience at such a convenient price

I am a producer and had my crew staying at this hotel. The hotel had confirmed rooms were booked and emailed to that effect. Our crew showed up at the hotel after a long flight only to be told they didn't have any rooms. I can't comment on anything else about this hotel other than their reservation system is horrible....

I called to book 2 rooms for some traveling crew, who were going to Houston to do a TV project for the BBC. From moment one, it was clear there was a communication problem. The man who answered the phone missed the detail about 2 rooms, so he booked me 1. When I called right away to correct that he... More
