We stayed at the Lovett Inn April 4-8, 2009. We only have good things to say. The Inn itself is gorgeous, impecably clean and in a safe and clean location in Houston. You can walk to wonderful restaurants and you are one block from a bus stop so you can manuver downtown without a car if you choose. Tons of things to do in Houston, no matter what your "thing" is. The owner of the Inn is knowledgeable about the city and getting around and is happy to help. We are coming back on Friday after exploring in Galveston and will definitely be back!!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Lovett Inn. The Inn consists of rooms in the main building, which is a historic house, plus rooms in the carriage house and adjacent townhouses. We stayed in one of the townhouse suites and it was almost like coming home to our own apartment. The decor style was modern and quite pleasant.

There was a separate living room, bedroom, and pantry area with microwave and refrigerator. The bedroom had a king-sized bed and large TV with all cable channels and DVD player. The bed was very comfortable and we always got a good night's sleep.

The bathroom had a single-person whirlpool tub with shower. The shower pressure and temperature were mostly good although I think the plumbing system was shared with the other townhouse room as occasionally the shower water temperature would vary...not a big problem though.

Climate control for the townhouse was provided by a central unit and the thermostat is in the hall shared with the suite below...the temperature was always good in the room.

The main Lovett Inn building is just around the corner from the townhouse and you can go in at any time by using a code to enter the door. There is a very nice foyer, parlor, dining room and study. There are breakfast foods constantly provided including boiled eggs, cereals, dried fruits, bagels and bread for toasting, yogurt, juices, muffins, etc. You can go to the dining room for a midnight snack if you like or take breakfast any time (a cooked breakfast is not provided, though).
The coffee was from a Capresso machine which grinds the beans and dispenses one cup at a time and was always good. There is also a great variety of teas provided.

Wireless internet access is provided free and there is also a computer with internet provided in the study if you don't have your own. There is also an informative guide provided in the room of recommended local restaurants that are close by. The location is great and it is a short trip to lots of interesting things to see and do.

We would definitely recommend the Lovett Inn in Houston.

I had to go to Houston to apply for a visa at the Italian Consulate and my boyfriend and I wanted to stay somewhere affordable, near the consulate, and clean. I generally opt to stay at places outside of the normal chains and was lucky to find something beyond what I expected especailly regarding the price and quality. The Lovett Inn was easy to find, in a wonderful little neighborhood with character. We arrived late and were given simple easy instructions on how to let ourselves in. We were greeted at the front door by the resident dog, Cody. He was friendly and patiently hung around as we found our keys to our room. We quietly crept through the grand, restored home admiring the architecture and cozy amenities of the inn. We already knew we made a good choice. We had reserved one of the less expensive rooms, but were somehow moved to a nicer room at no extra charge. We obviously did not mind. We were in the old carriage house behind the main house. Our room was clean, pleasantly decorated and had a wonderful four poster king sized bed. There was a dvd player and a dvd library in the main house as well as access to a small laptop to use the internet. Breakfast was served in the dining room and consisted of a generous continental breakfast with more than you could try. We were very satisfied and would stay here again if ever in Houston.

My husband and I went to Houston two weeks ago for the Microsoft Partners Convention. All the others hotels were already full, so we took our chances in the Lovett Inn and it was a very nice surprise. It´s in a very calm street and the owners are very friendly and helpfull. Clean and confortable.
