The hotel is good, with friendly staff and excellent hospitality. However, for the price, the lobby feels somewhat small compared to high-end hotels. The location is excellent, allowing easy walking access to most places in downtown Houston.

Restaurants are not open and no coffee shop!
I was excited to book this stay for New Years Eve! I booked it because it had two restaurants, a coffee shop and breakfast included with our stay. Unfortunately, when we arrived, Valet parking was $50 to start off, only one restaurant was open and the coffee shop was also closed. In the morning (apparently, breakfast was not included with my stay).. I had to pull up my app which stated it was! Our room had no soap and minimal shampoo and conditioner. I really wish we had a better experience.
