This is absolutely my favorite hotel of all time. I am a shower person and their showers are amazing. The staff is great and very lenient when it comes to check out time. I especially like the personal response to each and every Google review they receive. On too of everything else their prices are very affordable and they work with you if you are a little short.
Love the room, big and spacious! I absolutely loved the TV on the ceiling, the shower was amazing! I can't stop praising this hotel. The staff is friendly and the cleaning lady does an amazing job at cleaning the room, she even does this little thing with the toilet paper, that was adorable. I'll DEFINITELY be coming here again when I'm in town.
Awesome hotel:) New owners took this place over about 6 months ago and this place is one of the best hotels I have stayed at and I travel all year round. We had housekeeping everyday. My favorite housekeeper was Daisy she was very thorough, anytime we needed anything front desk was super helpful. Manager was really sweet and always upbeat and positive. I would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the Houston area. We stayed for about a month here. You can’t help what kind of neighborhood hotels are in, but this hotel does a good job of keeping people out that shouldn’t be around and keeping a watchful eye for mischief. Thank you to all the staff at this hotel. We hope to see you all again sometime:) Take care!!!
I love this hotel!!! Me and my sneaky link comes here often really private and quiet VERY CLEAN
This place is the most professional, respectful and cleanest place that I ever lived and visited. I LOVE THE HOUSEKEEPERS their always sweet and respectable and so their job very well. I do admit that they HAD a lot of people just walking around and being loud outside but that was a year ago they probably still still have some loud people because they paid their money to be there just like everybody else. I feel like ONLY on the weekend is when they have a lot of visitor but who dont want to party on the weekend when we've been quarantine for months These wonderful people stopped all that traffic trying to get their business back thriving and ima help them because they deserve it and they treat me like family. I lo

This is an awesome place to stay. It is amazing and my wife and I loved it. I would highly recommend it and my wife and I will probably stay another week just because of what we saved. My only issue with it is there is no coffee pot in the room and now breakfast if they had those 2 things it would be a perfect 10. It is still a solid 9
