Everything from booking to checkout was amazing. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, rooms were clean, breakfast was great, shower pressure was amazing and it was a quick walk to Daikin Park. We loved the glass of sparkling wine at check in and the macarons that were in our room. We were very fortunate to have our room upgraded and loved the handwritten note and bottle of sparkling that was graciously left for us. Truly a top notch experience and this will be the only place we stay whenever we need to be in or near downtown Houston

This is a great option for downtown Houston. I had a light filled corner room, a very comfortable bed. Nicely finished bathroom with decent soap and shower gel. Breakfast choice was good and wholesome and the restaurant served some delicious food. Everyone was very friendly and efficient - special thanks to restaurant staff and receptionists. I’m not sure if my travels will bring me back to Houston, but if they do, I’ll be back!
Sun filled corner room.
