Resolved!!

Started out not good. We booked two queen beds and the gave us a king. It was 4 of us running in the Houston Hot Chocolate Race the next morning. The young man at the desk said he couldn’t do anything. Finally this woman I guess over heard us and she stepped in. She said it was our mistake and please give me some time. I waited patiently and she got it resolved! What a blessing that was! I wish I would have got her name. I went down the next morning and asked but no one knew who I was talking about. Definitely stay again!

It was a great stay. This may seem like a small, weird thing… but the toilets were extremely loud. All night I could hear toilets flushing on our floor.

During my stay there was an issue with a water outage. I had to go to work without a shower. Although the water was restored it impacted my morning. No response was received from management just an attendant at the desk taking room number of those who complained. No follow up, nothing for the inconvenience. So definitely a disappointing stay.
