The hotel's location is ideal for a quick business trip, though it lacks space and a variety of dining options. The rooms are comfortable, away from the noise, but cleanliness needs improvement. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. Dining is average, and the lobby could use more space. Overall, a decent stay for a short visit.

The hotel is located in downtown Houston and was convenient for my one-night business trip. The rooms were quite noisy, especially being near the breakfast area, and the cigarette smoke smell was unpleasant. However, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, although they seemed frustrated about Booking's errors. The dining options were serviceable but not the best. The facilities were okay, fitting for a short stay.

The hotel's location in downtown Houston was convenient for my one-night business trip. Although it was a bit far out of town, the central location just off I-10 between I-45 & I-610 was practical.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nicely refurbished with a king-size bed, fridge, and microwave, but they were not as clean as I expected. The service was friendly but sometimes overly polite. The location was convenient to downtown and various restaurant choices, although the lack of ample seating was a downside for a big family. The morning dining was satisfactory but lacked variety in options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms I stayed in were nicely refurbished and equipped with a fridge and microwave, the strong musty smell made it hard to breathe. The noise from outside was also a discomfort. The service, on the other hand, was very helpful and accommodating, although there were some issues with Booking not correctly communicating available amenities. The location was convenient but lacking in adequate dining space for families. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options available. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
