    They were renovating the lobby which was a surprise

    Rooms newly renovated, great location close to transit and good restaurants and bars. Easy to get to museums.

    Could have done with a fridge in the room. Minor.

    All the staff were great. We arrived after 24+ hours travel, and they let us check in early, which was great, we were exhausted. The room was great. The weather was against us, which frankly was ok (!) because we could justify catching up on some rest without feeling guilty about not fulfilling our touristy duties! I had a bit of a query about the valet parking when we checked out, but the front staff were professional and fixed it up quickly. (And the valet parking was well done. It ain't cheap, and I don't know if you can do better/cheaper but we were happy to use this option.) The staff in the bar were the friendliest people on the planet. Great position in downtown Houston.

    Bar had a funny smell? Unfortunately there were transients camping near our hotel - so I’m glad we didn’t walk to minute maid park - I know this is not hotels fault. It’s a shame that we even have people living in the street.

    Nice hotel! We didn’t get room we paid for but Denise comped our parking & suppose to get some hotel points - very much appreciated this! Room had two bathrooms which was unusual but really liked that!

    the front desk attendant was somewhat condescending and not very friendly. We requested him to call a cab for us and after about 25 minutes we checked back and he told us that he would give us the number in order for us to call ourselves. when we returned to the hotel after our event, around 10:30PM, we were not happy to discover that there was no food service of any kind and there wasn’t even a place to buy snacks. it was rainy and there were homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks so we were not comfortable venturing out afoot, so we went to bed hungry. When I made reservations I asked if there was parking and was told that there was valet parking; however they neglected to inform me that it was $39.00 per day!

    the hotel is very well maintained and nicely decorated. the downtown location was convenient..the bar was fun and the drinks were good, as were the appetizers we ordered.

    No amenities. No lunch restaurant and breakfast was below average if I’m being generous. They didn’t provide water every time housekeeping came in. We had to go down to the receptionist to get drinking water. They used plastic bags and cups for room service.

    The staff was nice and helpful
