The staff was amazing!! I stopped by along with my family at around 11:30am, just to store our luggage at the property before checking in at 3:00pm. However, the male associate offered to check us in already at no extra cost!! Ended up checking in almost 4 hours early for FREE. The staff was attentive, from the receptionists and shift managers, to the kitchen staff, and the housekeeping ladies. Everyone was friendly and welcoming to us. They had complimentary water with ice in the lobby, along with complimentary cookies which were very tasty. The free breakfast offered extensive options, including fresh fruit, cereals, oatmeals, coffee, sausages, scrambled eggs, potatoes, yogurt, bread, waffles, hot coffee, juices, water, among other offerings. The room was spacious enough and featured complimentary water bottles, a mini fridge and a microwave, along with the standard ironing board, iron, hair blower, etc. We did face two very small inconveniences, the first one was the fact that the room only had three towels (we were a party of four), but I received an additional set after requesting an extra towel. The mini fridge in the room had some issues with powering up, but it was due to the cord being some what loose. There's also a free shuttle that we didn't get to use, but it is an option for those who would like to use it. Large homeless population around downtown, but not the hotel's fault. We still felt pretty safe in the area.

Travelocity failed to mention the daily cost of parking. The property wasn’t a deal after $50 in parking fees were added for staying one night.

The lobby is stunning, but does not reflect the dated feel of many of the other features. There is nothing telling were amenities are located, like the beautifully pictured outdoor seating area. Just small touches that could definitely elevate this property to the next level

We stayed here one night before flying home after a cruise. The front desk staff were wonderful! Check in was quick and easy. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was nice to have coffee and a mini fridge right in the room. The tv provided a lot of channels. The hotel offered a free shuttle within 1.5 miles of the hotel. We used it to go for dinner at Rustic. There are quite a few restaurants within the 1.5 miles. Our driver Nancy was a joy to spend those few minutes with. Breakfast was pretty good. It’s what you would expect. Loved the Texas state shaped waffles! There are hot and cold options, juice and coffee/tea. Restaurant was clean. If I had to stay in downtown Houston again, I would definitely stay here.

We were there for the Houston marathon. The front desk clerks were super friendly when we checked in, but the checkout experience was terrible. They offered a 2pm late checkout for marathon participants, but honestly it would have been better to just prepare our stuff and checkout at the normal time than to endure the treatment we received from the checkout clerk Ushi. She was clearly having a bad day, explaining loudly in the lobby to a guest that she was by herself and dealing with all the late checkout marathon guests. When we got back none of our keys worked, so we had to go back down to get them reprogrammed, prompting a scolding about how they were demagnetized so we need to be sure not to put them near a cell phone. Then as we went back upstairs she said “you have 20 minutes!” in a very condescending song-song tone. We got back down at 1:55 and again suffered through her exasperated rudeness, then asked if we could use our key card to swipe to get our card out of the garage. Again in the condescending sing-song, “the gates are open! You don’t need a card right now!” It was really incredible, that’s the word that comes to mind. To treat people like this who just ran a marathon, when you offer late check out and are in the hospitality business - it was astounding. Whoever is in charge should know about this person and put her in a less guest centric position, or I’m sure this won’t be the last review of this nature.
