Houston Visit
We enjoyed our stay. It was close to NGR Stadium and offered a shuttle. They are doing renovations, so I figure it will be nicer next time we stay. The staff was super friendly!

Medical stay
Husband's surgery was scheduled and easier to stay before and after due to length of travel to and from home. Have stayed here before and will stay again. Most of the upgrades they are making are nice - still wish they had some type of shelf in the shower and that they had left a lid on the toilet instead of just an upgraded seat but...

Booked my next stay already!
Room was clean and comfortable. Don’t judge the exterior appearance, they are currently doing some kind of exterior work. Inside is very nice and clean. Shuttle to and from NRG was a plus! Booked my next stay for June already!

Clean with a great location.
great location, the staff is very kind and nice. Overall the hotel and rooms are kept clean, no funny smells. Breakfast could be better. The lobby needs remodeling and new furniture. Maybe better lighting conditions in public spaces, some of them look a bit dark. Overall iit is a 9/10 if you are picky like me.

Safe and good location
Great safe location. The only thing I wasn't satisfied about is the refrigerator that's in the room. It puts a new meaning to "mini". You can't even put a 6 pack of drinks in it.

Pretty nice
Very unique hotel. Construction left very little parking. Hotel is small, but nice. You have to get towels at front desk as well as hair dryer. The ironing board was bent, but usable. Free popcorn was nice.

The room needs better lighting. No hairdryer was provided like most hotels. The noise in the bathroom keeps you from getting a good night’s sleep.

2nd time staying here, was still in remodeling a year later. Our duvet on our bed had stray hairs on it, pretty gross! Asked for new linens and they were changed the next day. We were given a clean duvet for the night though. We will still return here very relaxing!

Charming old style comfort on a budget
