The room did not have sheets/blanket or pillows for the pull out couch. I asked the front desk and got a blanket with wholes no sheets and pillows. No extra towels had to find housekeepers in the morning. The shower head sprayed everywhere in the bathroom had to use the towel to dry all the water. The staff was very nice and extremely helpful.

They tried

Comfortable room. Service was good. Located close to our destination. The pool was a little chilly. Could have been a little warmer. No clean towels at pool or exercise room. No wash rags available to replace our used ones. Ice machines did not work, but front desk worker filled my ice bucket for me.

Let's begin with false advertisement that this property is near galleria - if near is twenty-minute walk-in highway underpasses with dubious people about then I am wrong. Next facility maintenance: only one of two elevators call buttons in lobby functioned. On last day we were there, second call button was questionable. We stayed two times in one week each for two days. The bath fan in first had failed in second room the fan screeched loud enough to awaken adjoining room occupants, in first room bath faucet water came in a skin biting micro spray while in second, that that had a tepid flow, Internet failed during second reservation - the staff noted that techs had recently been out without reliable results. Finally, beware the pool is not heated. The room was warm but other guests were shaking from the cold water.
