Hotel charges 40$ per night for parking which is ridiculous. Hot water was on/off. Walls are thin.

The Front Desk Staff was ugly and rude. Definitely a rude awakening that I was in Houston. The bathroom in my hotel room was sub par and tiny. The gym here is laughable. The only positive vibe here was the restaurant for breakfast. Other than that I would pass on staying here again.

Poor experience at such a reputable hotel in Houston. Firstly front desk lady is super rude, rolled her eyes at me when I mistakenly booked an accessible room. Not accommodating for the most part. Hotels don’t have fridges inside the room, have to request a whole fridge to be delivered. You have to also pay for housekeeping as it’s not included apparently. Very strange hotel policies will not be staying there again!

Had a very good stay here. This is a historic hotel so complaining about some thing being old is probably not unexpected. It was very good stay overall.

My stay was good. The hotel had a nice greeting/gift in our room for my wifes birthday celebration. I think they are way over priced. It can take a while to ride in the elevator if they are slightly even busy. My buddy and his wife also stayed here. They got double charged, and their AC in the room was very loud preventing them from getting any sleep. Not sure why they didn't call down about it, but their experience was not like mine. Our room was quiet, cold, and comfortable. Shower is a bit small, and the temperature doesn't get as hot as i would like it. Overall it was a great night for us. Thank you

The walls are VERY thin!!! We could hear the “neighbors” activity as well as the elevator. Wouldn’t recommend for the simple fact that you won’t get any sleep because the room doors slam shot, and you everyone’s activities. Not worth the stay
