Nice property with a great view of NRG stadium. The staff was very polite and helpful. The only downside was that Expedia showed the pool closed at 11pm but when we arrived we were told it closed at 10pm so we didnt get to swim. The pool looked nice.

The location was good walking distance to NRG but the room was not your normal holiday inn room, it felt old, bed was hard and halfway clean but parking was good , gated inn. When I come back to NRG , I won’t stay there again but that’s just my preference,

This place is trash

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. The only bonus is its walking distance to the NRG stadium but the rooms are trash. Walls need to be repaired, repainted, and rooms need to be overall renovated. Our sink didn’t even have hot water. I don’t even think the hand towels were clean. Hotel restaurant was gross. The waitress gave us water with our meal but the water looked more like river water or something.

Won't Stay Again

We checked in late Thursday night ahead of a Friday concert, knowing we’d have an early start the next morning. First off—charging three times the normal rate just because of an event? That’s daylight robbery. When we got to the room, it was uncomfortably hot. We tried turning on the AC, but it barely pushed out any air. The hotel was fully booked, so switching rooms wasn’t an option. The room itself was clean, but not exactly what you'd expect for $1,400 over three nights. Paint was chipped on the walls and doors, and the hallways were scuffed up and worn down. After the concert, I told the front desk (again) that the AC wasn’t working. I didn’t catch the staff member’s name, but he was kind and brought us a fan. He promised maintenance would stop by in the morning. Maintenance did show up—kind of. The guy walked in, yanked the AC cover off, slammed it back on, and left without saying a word. That was it. And the parking situation? Total chaos. Hotel guests are charged for overnight parking, yet when there’s an event at NRG, they sell the lot for $60 to the public. Saturday night during the Morgan Wallen concert was a mess—hotel guests had nowhere to park. Bottom line: there are much nicer hotels in the area, including one right across the street. Save yourself the money and frustration. The front desk worker that brought us a fan gave us two vouchers for a free breakfast, which was thoughtful, but we don't eat breakfast, and they were of no use to us.

Went to the Metallica concert. Hotels did not let me know they were selling patking. I had to park on the grass I only got parking paid for parking. I should have gotten more than just parking. They need to tell me up front.
