Sotherly Charm in Houston

An amazing stay that I would easily recommend to anyone who asked, the amenities always stay above the rest. This Sotherly host makes traveling a breeze and is definitely my first choice when traveling.

Good hotel but needs some updating

The young man’s hair that checked us in was long over his face that we couldn’t understand what he was saying. The walls and furniture in our hallway of our floor were bumped or scraped. It was below freezing during our stay and there were only thin blankets on the bed. We had to turn up the heat. The tissues in our bathroom smelt like vomit. Breakfast was okay but the service was very nice. I did enjoy my complementary drink.

The “upgrade” in my opinion was not and upgrade; I would have liked to see a room of lesser standard to rate it as such. The one free drink was nice, would’ve preferred one per evening. The restaurant was fantastic! We enjoyed each and every meal there.
