Simple hotel, Clean and comfortable. Great value. Check-in good. Desk manger very nice. Only odd thing was the elevator. One was for staff and one guests but when we called the elevator, the staff one always came so we used it. No big deal. Would definitely stay again.

The room was super clean and the hotel was in a great location. I was happy the on-site parking could accommodate my pickup truck—easy in and out. It’s right next to the Houston rail line, and they also have a courtesy shuttle for very short distances. Entrance to the building is only accessible with your room key. The front desk clerk wasn’t the friendliest, but he was efficient and informative.
