I just didn't like have a dirty bathtub and toilet. It was hard to sleep with loud air conditioner and then construction working right at 7:00am on a Saturday
You can see all the dirt around the tub

Room and staff were great! Outside can be very deceiving, inside is great. Only downside is paying 25 for a parking voucher to park 2 blocks down in a lot with no cameras.

Upon arrival at the hotel, the Hotel door was locked and I was unable to go inside to check in. I called multiple times to the front desk with no answer. Since we were doing activities nearby, I paid for parking in the lot adjacent to the Hotel.

There was no internal chain or bar lock on the door. And Sunday morning at about 3:30, someone (a staff member, I think) tried to let themself in. He opened the door (i'm guessing with a master key or new key card he made downstairs). I loudly shouted "NO! GET THE **** OUT!" and he finally left. Not safe for guests! Expedia should drop this listing immediately because of the danger the hotel poses to guests.

Location and parking were ideal for a Saturday night outing. The hotel is not eye candy, but very comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The bed was not a great mattress, but sufficient. The kitchen is well equipped and would have been perfect for a longer stay.

I made a 4 day non-refundable reservation via Expedia. Due to weather problems with airlines I arrived on day 3 and expected my room to be available. It had been reassigned. Although I got a room, it was of lesser grade than what I reserved and paid for. The contract via Expedia made no mention of requiring a call for late arrivals.....only if I wanted to change my reservation which I didn't. Hotel staff argued with me about this point that I should not have expected to still have the room even though I had a non-refundable fee. The TV in my room #208 had no remote control to operate it. Coffee maker in lobby had no creamer or sugar to add to coffee. Lobby is not attended at all hours and sometimes did not get a response from locked lobby door with doorbell. My lost luggage being delivered from airport required two separate deliveries because of this. No USB ports were in room to charge my phone, but hotel staff helped me on this by charging my phone in their office. Price on the room was good and I liked the proximity to the Convention center.

The hotel room didn't have standard bedding, water from the bathroom faucet drips only, the carpet in the room is 40 years old. The worst is their heating and cooling system under the window that is very noisy. I survived only one night there. The only thing that resembles a good hotel is the room price.

The staff was beyond welcoming. The location was great. Close to everything so we were able to walk everywhere. The room was pretty small which was okay for use but the only issue I had was the water pressure. We were on the seconded floor and there was basically no water pressure at all. Just something to keep in mind if you have thick hair because the struggle was real!

Great staff! Very helpful and friendly. Allowed me to check in a few hours early. Wanted to move to another room, due to noise on the ceiling fan, they help me with that too. Rooms are spacious and equipped with full stove, fridge and microwave. Easy walk to Toyota Center and George R.Brown convention center
