Stayed one night for business. Quiet rooms ( paperthin walls) and great comfy beds. Connects to the downtown tunnel system or to KBR building via skywalk. Only a couple blocks to the metro train to Reliant Center. Perfect for Texans football or the rodeo. Great value for the price. More

I need to start this with a caveat - if I was basing the review off the staff alone, the hotel would be 5 stars. We felt welcomed from the moment we got there until the moment we left. There was a problem with our initial room assignment in the computer so we had to wait 10 or 15 minutes... More

Stayed for 3 nights over the NYE. Booked using the 5K points per night as a Platinum member so a bargain (NYE was $300 per night rate). Was upgraded to the exec floor (10th) so no freeway noise. Given free breakfast coupons for our whole stay which was good-(pity the breakfast wasn't!). Room dated but adequate. LCD TV and comfy... More

Stayed there for a week, staff was helpful -not like WOW but ok-, the property is outdated, could use a renovation. Wifi was good. Room service was good, but the meals at brazos restaurant really not that healthy (buffalo wings, pizza...stuff like that). Elevators are kinda fast and work well. Very clean, good beds. Hotel shuttle will take you anywhere... More

I was looking foward to my stay in Houston and this hotel but what a total disappointment! I stayed here because of training. I checked in and the room was so outdated.

I was in Houston for a week for a business trip and loved this hote! The Staff was very friendly and helpful! The parking was extremely expensive but given that I was downtown, I didn't really expect it to be cheap. Overall, it is a great hotel that is close to everything! Will definitely be back! More
