Stayed here a few times when travelling to Houston. I know the 'secret' to getting it on Hotwire... this latest time, got it for $96.
Woo Hoo! I was excited, because it is a nice room. I knew construction was going on... it has been on-going for some time. It isn't as messy crazy as it was a few months back, actually, my stay was not affected by the construction.
like I said, the room is nice. The bed is awesome. The 2 tv's, great. the bar, fun. Free parking, woo hoo! There are several reasons why I find this to be a good place to stay.
However, there are a few reasons I really noticed on this last trip as to why I might try to find a new place... first of all, room service shuts down at 9:30. That bummed me out, and forced me to go out to find a meal late at night. Also, the wireless internet is the worst I have ever experienced in a hotel. They have (at the time of my visit) 2 access points, and they were equally weak (2 bars) and I was right in the middle of the hotel on the 6th floor. Annoying!
But what really bothered me was the clientele that was staying there. It was like a 'hang out' for recently graduated high school guys. groups of kids with attitudes walking around, shirts off, like it was a dorm or something.
I travel for business and it bothered me. If I were traveling with my family/daughter... THAT would really bother me... and I would lhave probably left.
It is likely I won't stay here again.
