I booked the executive suite with breakfast for $ 130 a night. The room huge and has a separate bedroom / living room. The bedroom actually seems a bit empty because it's so big. In the living room is a sink & fridge and the furniture is ok. Free WiFi is a big plus since I was there on business. Every room has a separate airco. The only odd thing I could find was the closet. The one in the bedroom has a weird construction and the one you want to use for your clothes is in the living room. but apart from that it was clean, & comfortable. The hotel is near the galleria shopping mall (it's one block down the street). It's a courtyard so you don't get the full hotel service, but what they offer is ok. Breakfast was good (works with coupons you get at check in) and the reception service was great as well (got me towncar right on time). they have a small internet/print station in the lobby (great for e-tickets) and beware of the warm cookies in the morning at reception I think they are addictive ;-)

I loved the decor and cleanliness of my room. We were on the 7th floor.The rooms are stylishly decorated with a contemporary touch. I loved the faux granite countertops in the bathroom and the deep blue shower curtain. The bathroom was immaculate which is always a plus. Comfortable beds with plenty of pillows provided us with a wonderful night's rest after a 10 hour drive. The workout facility is small but well equipped with 2 treadmills (with TV screens on each) as well as an elliptical machine (also with TV screen). There are also a set of free weights available for use. Lobby, pool and all other common areas were pristine. We had a little trouble with our access to the garage($8 per day) but the security guard promptly came to our rescue and allowed us entry without delay. Front desk clerk was amicable and attentive. I got an awesome price on Priceline for a one night stay (we met family at another Courtyard hotel in Houston for the remainder of our stay). I would definitely stay here again if I were in Houston. Great location for the Galleria mall. We traveled with our kids but the hotel would work for business travelers, couples and families.

It was new but lots of quirks like no mirrors in the room itself, which was also very dark. There was not a luggage rack (called and asked for one and told don't have any). Room was hot or cold never comfortable. The Pool was 60 some degrees and hot tub 80. When we expressed concerns to front desk, we were told to put in out survey. We never received a survey. I would not stay there again honestly just did not like it.

Arriving in Houston after dark, with no reservation, we stopped at a few hotels in the Galleria area. They were either completely booked, or over our budget. At the Courtyard we were pleasantly surprised that the price was $99, plus a fee to park that was less than the others. For an additional $10 charge, we added a hot breakfast for two.

The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful, both when checking in and out. Everything was new, squeaky clean, and beautifully decorated.

The breakfast was a buffet with eggs/omelettes prepared to order, served on real dishes with real eating utensils.
