Room was clean and quiet overnight. Everything I used within it worked. The man at the front desk spoke no English which made check-in difficult. Decent no-frills cheap option near the medical center

It is an older property located just off 288, you hear all the sirens. The room we were in had been recently renovated but not everything reconnected. The TV was not hooked to the satellite and the walls were not completely painted. The bed did have a comfortable mattress.
We got there at 315pm. sign in window said gone but back in 15 minutes. All locked up. No one came until 4:15 pm. so we just had to sit an hour and wait. called the number 4 times and no answer. We had gotten our food to eat in out room and it was cold before we got our key. Rooms furniture was outdated and paint chipped off. A huge metal thing in room against the wall that took up alot of space and obviously was just being stored there because there was no use for .. Nice size wood closet with shelves. When you got in out of bed there was a loud sound. But the bed was comfortable. Room was pretty clean but has spiders...The tv was large and good channels . got approached when unpacking car twice with people asking for money. . My husband did not want to stay because the room looked so bad and walked next door to Main Stay Hotel to get a room there. They were full so we had to stay at this place. Never stayed in a place that looks so horrible inside the room.It was a very bad experiance. We were pretty scared and hardly slept all night. Barbara Farrier bfarrier@yahoo.com 361 758-2028
Very convenient location by the freeway 288 and 610. NRG and the Medical Center is not too far. Fast food in the area. Have stayed a couple of other times this year.
Everything is great here great customer service great room service convenient to transportation and food places near NRG I highly recommend this place to stay
Spare yourself the nightmare! The first room was missing the closet rod to hang clothes. They moved us to another room where it proceeded to flood while I was in the shower. We moved once again to another room. All this occurred during our first evening there! I inadvertently left one tennis shoe (Brooks) but, since I had another pair, I did not notice it was missing until I got home. My husband and I were at the hotel for three whole days and my missing shoe was not made known to me. They had to have found it while they were mopping up the previous room we had occupied.
After arriving at home and realizing I had left it there, I called the management. I described my tennis shoe by color, brand, and size. The woman confirmed that it was there but said they could not mail it to me. I explained that my daughter was to pick it up for me and was traveling quite the distance. I asked for the woman’s name so my daughter could ask for her directly. She refused to identify herself and hung up on me when I insisted.
When my daughter arrived, they could not produce the shoe and were rude to her. She left empty handed, nothing to show for her time and effort.

Convenient location to the hospitals, nearby fast food restaurants and gas station. Close to the freeway. NRG and the Museum District is nearby. Room had a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. Would stay again.
