I had one overnight stay at the hotel in May 2008. The rooms were nice, however checking in and getting settled was not as easy.
First they sent me to a room where someone was actually staying. I backed quitely out of there as I noticed the shoes in front of the bed...
Secondly they were supposed to bring a plug-adapter to my room, but this never showed up. I guess I'm the type of picky guest that would like a little notice that they couldn't find one instead of just not showing up.
Staff was friendly and the breakfast basic but good.

As a frequent and impatient traveler, I have a few odd quirks that I look for in a hotel. First, I hate paying for parking, second, is there a nice food option available within walking distance, and finally and perhaps most important, can I get in a decent run in the early AM. With those challenges, this makes staying in Houston somewhat difficult esp.. the running part. This hotel meets those criteria. Great choices to eat across the streets (Red Onion) and there is a very nice residential neighborhood within a half mile so one can easy get a 5 miler in the early AM with lighted streets. Parking is great and (free)...this is a nearly renovated hotel. Nice lobby and rooms are clean. Located off 1-10 it give you access to many points in Houston. People were friendly--off course its Texas ya'll--and I had not problems. This has become my permanent Houston place to stay. This is not luxury but very practical.
