The hotel is located to the north of downtown in a buisness district.There is no much activities in this area.The hotel rooms and furniture is outdated and the hotel requires a major renovation

My first visit to Houston. Selected this hotel because of it's perfect location in theater district. Was greeted by front desk staff Ushi and Andrea, who display a level of personal service that is rare these days. They also were obviously proud of their special hotel and knowledgable about it's unique history. Charming room, very quiet, with great bed. All... More

I booked this hotel as it was close to the theatres for my parents who were travelling in in the country. We booked two rooms. The greeting on arrival after a long day was very welcoming and warm. The rooms were very clean and well presented. We loved it so much, we returned 3 weeks later, this time with a... More

A smaller and perhaps as a result more welcoming and personal Houston hotel. Towards the north of downtown where the better bars and restaurants are. Only downside is no pool.

Stayed here in Oct 11 for 2 nights and it lived up to my high expectations. It could not be more different to a Marriott or Holiday Inn, which why I chose it.

The location of this hotel is excellent! My husband and I just wanted to have a short weekend away. We had dinner at Bayou Place, saw a play at the Alley Theater and didnt have to worry about driving and parking, definitely a plus! I really enjoyed our stay here, they even had a wine tasting in the lobby the... More

We only stayed for one night on our way from Dallas to New Orleans. The lobby is very pretty. Rooms were comfortable and pleasant. Bar was very nice with attentive staff. I would recommend valet parking as the only parking we could find around there was just as expensive. Overall in good location to see downtown Houston.

Just spent a night at the Lancaster, which is in the heart of downtown Houston. The room was comfortable and a bit "shabby chic" with and English Country House feel to it. The bathroom was spacious and up-to-date. The bed was extremely comfortable. They have a tiny lobby to the hotel, but make it welcoming, with free wine in the... More
