A gloomy reception area with "self check-in" machines that needed a receptionist to operate and took longer than a regular check in. The hotel is located in a reasonably seedy part of downtown and if I was a single female traveler I wouldn't feel safe leaving the hotel alone after dark.

The headboard in my room was screwed to the wall over the electrical socket - so neither bedside light nor clock/radio could be plugged in. The light and the clock were there - they just couldn't be plugged in! The wireless network was hopeless; bring a lan cable if you can - it might help.

Otherwise a pretty ordinary hotel experience. Beds are fine, water was hot. If you have to be downtown, it is good value, but I wouldn't stay here otherwise.

The positive first - helpful and friendly staff, nice folks. As to the hotel itself, it was not located in a good part of downtown and nothing was really within walking distance (at least not after dark). Lots of outside noise as well. The valet parking, however, was responsive and fairly quick and the price was on par with the downtown Hilton Americas on Lamar Street (~$20 per day). The rooms were very small, probably (and I'm not kidding) one-half the size of a standard "Hilton-type" room. Flat screen TV but only because the room was not big enough for a "regular" hotel TV. Very small bathroom - no tub. No restaurant or room service on Sunday. Also, no iron or ironing board. Look, If all you want is a place to sleep and to do it cheaply, CQ is okay but I will not be a return customer at any of their properties.

No free breakfast as stated online.
No hot water when I wanted to take a shower, morning or evening. I complained about this each morning (3 days). There was hot water at 6 one evening, but that wasn't when I wanted to shower.
The rooms are nicely appointed and the beds are comfortable.

The hotel was not so bad. There were a few problems though. In one of our rooms, the hotel staff checked in a person with the same last same into our room because they weren't paying attention. They gave us a key, we went in the room, and there was a person laying in the bed. Key cards are not of good quality. They lost there charge everyday for our six night stay. Quoted that we would have free continental breakfast. The price was ~ $7-8. There is no hotel parking, except for the valet which is $20/ night. Also, in rooms requested two twin beds and received one queen bed.
