I paid $150 for my room, which was a large room overlooking the adult store across the highway. The furniture was strangely resemblant of IKEA as another reviewer said. It was April and warm enough to be out by the pool. Unfortunately their pool is located in between two parts of the building, so it never gets any direct sunlight.... more

I recently spent two nights at the Hotel Derek and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. To start, the hotel is located at 'main and main' in the Galleria, just a short walk or drive from the mall. Upon arrival, I was very impressed with the level of service and attention I received from the time I stepped out of my car... more

My fiance and I checked into the Hotel Derek for a romantic weekend getaway. About 30 minutes or so after checking in, somebowdy walked into our room! We were not dressed at the time and it was very embarrasing. After calling the front desk, after being laughed at by the operator, we were told that they had accidently checked in... more

This hotel is completely overrated. Not only did I find it extremely pretentious but the staff was very rude. There is a mandatory parking fee of $19 (overnight) because it is next door to the Galleria. I found this outrageous! Also, apparently it is known to be a great place for a guy to bring is paid escort. As I... more

Stayed here for business trip for two nights. The front desk service was above average at check in. The Hotel lobby is nice, but the charm of the hotel ends there. It is so painfully clear that this hotel is just a remodel of an old established hotel. The rooms look like college concrete dorm-rooms that have been decorated by... more

My girlfriend and I selected a Valentine's Day special night stay for 179$ online through their own website. It was supposed to include one nights stay, a VIP turndown w/ rose peddles and candles, his/her robes, champagne, free Valet parking, breakfast in bed, and late checkout. We checked in went to the room and nothing was done special. We called... more

I have not stayed here, and other reviews have said that it's nice, but I will not be staying here to find out --this is based on the reservation desk greeting from the very beginning. My travel agent was prepared to book a room at the Hotel Derek for us. I called to check on a feature beforehand, and the... more

I have stayed at this hotel for years, for business and for weekend getaways. When I went last month, I was extremely disappointed. This is no 4 star hotel anymore. The staff was not friendly, almost seemed bothered that they had to work; not to mention the ridiculuous increase in valet price per day. The hotel also now lets anyything... more

The hotel has been my "Houston business address" for the past two years on eight occasions. For two simple reasons -- location and price/value. The rooms have been clean and comfortable, the services satisfactory, and resonably good food (room service). My only real objection is the bathroooms -- form over function -- dark, small , too chi chi... Nothing great,... more
