It has been remodeled with new furnishings, etc. Each time I return I see different improvements. They have a full complimentary breakfast. ( Pastries, etc. and Hot foods ) I have... More

This is the second time my family and I stayed at this property. Although, the first time was a bit unpleasant, the second time was much better. The front desk clerk was very was nice; He made jokes and really seemed like he enjoyed us staying there. The bath towels were thin, but other than that, there were no problems... More

We checked into the hotel around 7PM and was given a nonsmoking room. Upon entering, the first thing we noticed was the smell of fresh paint, not bad. Wanted to turn on some heat, one of knobs was missing. Called manager who brought us another one to use. Room was clean and heat/air worked fine. There is free internet if... More

I recommend not staying at this hotel...we got there 20 minutes before check in and the manager placed us on the second floor facing a wall in the corner. There were only 2 cars and we ask to change room; he was rude and sarcastic stating that we are lucky we had a room and would not give our money... More

This was the worst hotel stay my family and I have ever had!! The air conditioning in the room was off when we arrived. We had made the reservation well in advance and had even already paid for it via our credit card. The hotel personnel KNEW we would be arriving, yet did not turn on the air conditioning. The... More

Probably the worst hotel I have stayed in Houston area. Old AC units sitting on corridor for days not being cleaned up. Tiny lobby area with free breakfast, so all hotel guest can share the sole table with 4 seats. The lobby area stinks. On the bright side, it's close to Katy Freeway (I-10), so you can leave the hotel... More

I'm currently at this hotel, and don't understand all the bad reviews. The check-in was quick and pleasant, the room is clean and adequately stocked (although the towels are a bit thin), the furniture is nice (looks fairly new), and the bed comfortable. The linens on the bed are clean and acceptable. The immediate block surrounding the hotel is industrial,... More

The hotels easy access didn't make up for the bad neighborhood. There were shady people hanging out, I was unsure if they were employees or guests, but they made me nervous. There was no parking when we arrived around midnight and the room itself was awful. Dingy sheets and uncomfortable mattresses made it impossible for me to sleep. There were... More
