My wife and I spent (1) night at the Hampton Brookhollow on June 25th, 2005. This hotels offers great weekend rates, as low as $48/night (before tax) using an AAA discount. We weren't sure what to expect with a rate this low, however the hotel turned out to be very nice.

This Hampton location is older but has clearly benefited greatly from the Hampton modernization over the last few years. The bathroom appeared to be redone, wireless Internet was available throughout the hotel, and the TV featured interactive guest services with movies, video games, and express checkout. The room was in good condition and the mattress was very comfortable. The pillows and pillowcases appeared new – also part of the Hampton modernization. On the first floor, the hotel features a small workout room with a treadmill, stair machine, and stationary bike. Outside, the hotel has a small, no frills swimming pool that appeared very popular with the many families staying in the hotel the night we were there. It’s surrounded by some lounge chairs and tables.

One nice feature that I haven't seen in other Hampton hotels was a single cup coffee machine in our room (#224). The hotel even supplied special pre-measured filters that were designed to fit into the machine. Very cutting edge and very convenient as compared to having to brew a full cup.

For those looking to stay in Northwest Houston on 290, nothing between 610 and the Beltway is in a very good area. However, if you had to single out one reasonably nice area, this would definitely be it. The hotel is in a cluster of other mid-price hotels (i.e. Crowne Plaza and Red Roof in on west side of freeway) and directly next to door to a Luther’s BBQ restaurant. Across the freeway, there are a variety of other hotels (namely those in the Marriott family) as well as a bunch of other restaurants (Pappasito's, Logan's Roadhouse, Whattaburger, etc.) and a movie theater.

Overall, my wife and I were very satisfied with the Hampton Brookhollow and wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future.
