We visited Houston in September 2006 for quite extensive plastic surgery and were hoping to recover in Sheraton Suites before long flight back to London.
We were greeted with a massive disappointment of a smoking room. I had too argue with the front desk staff for well over an hour pleading that we can't possibly recover after surgery in smelly rooms. As the rooms are carpeted and have soft furnishings, if somebody smoked there before you, it will stink! After threatnening huge scandal with the manager, I finally got a non-smoking room, even though for an hour it was totally unavailable. If you hate smoking smell, my advice is get something in writing from the hotel to make sure you don't go through what we went through. We relied on Expedia to pass our requests, but the staff denied any record of that. That's why you need a piece of paper!
The rooms themselves are comfortable, but not luxurious. The food menu is limited and expensive. It came across as a place where one is sent by their company for some obscure conference and all the services are catered for the guests just to get drunk. Perhaps it works for many, as it appears to be fully booked all the time. Didn't work for us!
