We didn’t have any towels in our room and when I called the front desk I was told they didn’t have any clean. The water pressure in the bathroom was low and one of the beds in our room was broken.

It was overall a nice stay, it was clean. The location was great as it was near downtown Houston however what I didn’t like was you could see the plumbing in the shower and it was a small area of the shower that had dirt backed up but again for the most part the entire hotel room was clean minus the above, it has a pool, but no hot tub. I thought it had a hot tub and that was disappointing. The customer service was good minus checkout as our checkout time was early in the morning so I guess the staff was a bit grumpy. This is over at a hotel that you stay at because it’s affordable. It’s for the most part clean and it’s in a good area.

Service was the worst I have seen. The front desk is a frenzy and I don't think there is anyone working in the billing department. I had called to ask for a receipt (that was supposed to be sent to me according to the front desk after I checked out) and I was put on hold for 45 minutes. I try calling back and before I can say anything am put on hold again.
