We made a break for Houston for a birthday weekend getaway and enjoyed our time at this hotel. They were kind to put us in a corner room on the exec floor which had upgraded beds (we actually didn’t love for the Tempur-Pedic mattresses, but it was still nice). The fitness room is lacking… only a couple of posters and... More

It all depends on what you're looking for... If you want a good night's sleep- stay on the executive floor with the orthopedic beds--wonderful. Pillows were great; but it had no executive lounge, like I am used to, so that was disappointing. That was the whole reason I chose this hotel. So don't be fooled into thinking that the executive...

Thank you GobalPassion for your honest review. We absolutely appreciate your constructive comments! We certainly pride ourselves on being the only property Downtown to feature Tempurpedic mattress' on our Executive floors. We do apologize that your main purpose in choosing our property was to experience an Executive lounge however we will certainly place that into consideration for our near future.... More

Overall the quality of this hotel was excellent. I thought the hotel was in great shape. None of that peeling wallpaper, mystery stains in the tub, etc. that you find in other hotels. The room is a bit small and so is the bathroom, but otherwise everything was very clean and updated. This is a top-notch hotel and it's clear... More

Stayed here on business. My room was smallish but not really an issue since I was at work site most of the time and mainly just needing to sleep. The bed was top-notch, Pillows also were perfect. The entire room spoke of cleanliness. No funky smells or stains. Bathroom very clean, nice showerhead and amenities. Great TV set. Front desk... More

I stay at this hotel frequently for business. I've stayed at the others in the downtown area and they do not even compare to the excellent service and amenities offered here.

Stayed in this hotel for business in February 2012. The hotel is located in a business area, so don't expect a lot of interesting sites nearby. The concierge was helpful and able to arrange transportation (free of charge) to a nearby restaurant. Gray st. is nearby and within walking distance and has plenty of bars and restaurants.
