The Sheraton Suties Galleria looks new from the outside, but you might not be able to tell once you get in the property.

First off the positives.. The staff were very kind to me during my entire stay and the close location to the Galleria was very convenient for any evening shopping trips. Garage self-parking
(for a fee) is available behind the hotel, no problem finding a space except in evening hours be prepared to park on the top deck. The starwood members level in the hotel provided complimentary wi-fi - something I appreciated versus having to use a PC card for my laptop or paying for access.

Unfortunately (for me at least) the negatives far outweighed the positives. First, the suite had a very tiny living room, a typical rectangle shape but it was very narrow. The bedroom had decent space and the bed / mattress was just ok in terms in comfort level. Linens and other room furnishings were just okay. The best was the desk and chair which actually were comfortable. The couch in the living room was a low-slung felt covered disaster that was uncomfortable looking - trust me it was!

The Omaha Steakhouse restaurant was nothing to get excited about. My steak was chewy, overcooked and there were more than a few gnats needing to be shooshed away during the course of the (1) meal I ate there. Room service was just okay, the menu is a bit limited and the pizza is something to be avoided.

However, the worst overall feature of the property is traffic / access. If you're familiar with the feeder road system in Houston and other parts of Texas you'll know where this is going. A feeder road is a one way road that usually parallels a highway - in this case I-610, known as the Loop. Offrams from the highway will put you into the left most lane of the feeder road and on-ramps are located usually within a few hundred feet of an offramp.

The hotel has one "combo" entrance and exit and a subesequent exit only access to the feeder road. From the loop there is an offramp not that far before the combo entrance to the hotel. This means that high speed traffic exiting the 610 Loop offramp is wanting to move from the leftmost lane to the rightmost lane to turn right on Westheimer - the main "drag" in front of the Houston Galleria.

During typical morning and afternoon departure / arrival times at the hotel, there is enough traffic stopped in the right lane of the feeder that you'll either have to navigate out of either exit through a line of cars or end up waiting in the right lane to get to the entrance. Of course if you leave at 6am and come back at 8pm or after those times you'll likely not have a problem.

At all times you have to be very careful since people typically speed - badly - on the feeders so you'll have to contend also with traffic moving nearly 50 mph+ in the middle lane of the feeder.

In short, the price was okay booked on Sheraton.Com but there are better choices available at the price point (around $180/nt)

Booked two rooms for four people each. Was given two rooms with king size bed and no pull out couch. Management was unwilling to help resolve the situation.

The pool was beautiful. The concierge was very helpful. The room was beautiful--but not very conducive to traveling with kids. Save this property for a romantic get away to the Galleria.

Stayed in a suite in this hotel for 3 nights, and enjoyed it. The room was a good size, with a distinct separation between living and bed room. The bed was quite comfortable. There is 1 TV in the bedroom and 1 in the living room. The living room has seating for 3 plus a desk/chair and a small kitchenette/refrigerator. Everything was new, clean, and well-maintained. The property as whole is similarly well-maintained. The fitness center is nice with numerous cardio machines but no free weights. The pool is very small - basically big enough only for children to splash around. The location is convenient, being directly on the 610 feeder road and near many restaurants as well as the Galleria. Don't expect to walk around the neighborhood, even though the mall and many other places are technically within walking distance. Parking was $12 a day, but it is a deck. Did not eat at the Omaha Steakhouse, but it appeared to have a suitable ambience for business lunch/dinner meetings. Overall, had a nice stay with no complaints.

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Sheraton Suites and found it convienient to all shopping in the Galleria and other venues. Room decor is peaceful and spacious. Bed was very comfortable and loved the pocket doors that separated the living and sleeping areas. Check-in was without incident and no problem with keys to room. Breakfast buffet was varied with the best orange juice I've had in a long time. Staff for the most part were pleasant. The one shortcoming was the jacuzzi. Only in operation once during my stay.The water or jets weren't hot or strong enough.

Problem in pool and jacuzzi area:
Children used the jacuzzi as a wading pool because jacuzzi wasn't in operation!!!!!!

Entire pool area was taken over by kids yelping and throwing things while some adults tried to get some sun or read. Maybe they should allow times for adults and kids to use pool/jacuzzi area. No shuttle from hotel to airport. They will take you to the Galleria which is within walking distance and pick you up.

If you stay in your room for your entire stay it's a good place to rest.

We are Starwood members and this hotel was convenient to an event we were attending in Houston. The rooms are decent, and the hotel is generally well kept. The main problem, and it is a big problem, is the service at this hotel. The staff only knows how to apologize and apologize and apologize, without offering a solution to the problem. Our second night, they didn't give us the requested rollaway bed (they ran out) and also had no more blankets or pillows. They were very very sorry. Much of the staff speaks little or poor English (this includes room service which botched our order so badly that breakfast for 5 people turned into breakfast for 15 -- the room service manager was prompt to remove the excess and fix the bill, however). Everyone greets you, but nobody really knows much about anything. We couldn't get bell service easily. As Starwood members we expected to be treated well, but this property fell below the Sheraton standard, in our opinion.

The hotel was full with a conference, but the staff was unequipped to handle full occupancy, both in experience and in supplies. Things like tea and coffee appeared to be in very limited supply, as were the extra blankets and pillows and rollaway bed we needed.

We would not book here again unless the staff was replaced.

Again, the hotel is quite nice, but the staff inexperienced and even rude at times, in spite of their own mistakes being called to their attention.
