Great location for anyone in downtown Houston. Easy to get around, public transportation is easily accessible. Parking garage was safe and checked by security often. Expect some outdoor noise as downtown can get busy.

I left the front counter headed to the 4th floor to my room and opened my assigned room and a horrible smell of poop as soon as the door opened up, not to mention a room that had work equipment in front the of the bathroom. I had to go back down to the front counter to be placed in a room down the hall from friends m the same room that was a disaster inside due to construction inside or some type of plumbing issue. The desk clerk offered me some chips and 2 cans of sofa. Such an insult to humanity. We were able to take pictures of the room before the new room was assigned. Horrible experience to say the least.
Room with poop smell, and obviously was under repair

Great property if you want a prime downtown location. Easy access to the convention center and passport office. Walking distance to SPIRE nightclub and Pour Behavior. Hotel is very casual and cozy with 24-hr front desk and business center. Covered parking garage is available for a $25 daily rate with in/out privileges.

False Advertisement

The staff was nice. The shuttle driver was amazing! Advertisement when I booked, led me to believe that their was an indoor pool. There is no pool of any kind. The breakfast was disgusting. Beds were hard and mini fridge did not work.
I expected to have this indoor pool at the hotel, but no pool at all😕
