Personal Touch!
I love this hotel, I have stayed here about five times. The attention to detail and the personal extras that they give is amazing. They provide a handwritten note to welcome you to your room give free, minibar, snacks, and drinks. The buffet breakfast is delicious.. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Houston or Galveston as a stopover
