Excellent customer service. Wonderful property. Right next to River Oaks shopping. Great restaurants and the main Galleria mall is very close. The entire hotel is like new and very very clean. Breakfast buffet is fantastic. Great little free toiletries at the front desk and a small store to buy random foods and drinks in the lobby. Highly recommend!

TRAVELER BEWARE!!!!!! Make sure you don't accidentally leave items behind!!!!Unfortunately An expensive pair of shoes were left in the room on the floor at the foot of the bed. As soon as I got home I called and they passed me to the HouseKeeping voice mail. I Left a message got a call back saying my shoes were not found in the room and or staff didn't turn them in. I talked to a manager who was very nice but honestly he only knows what they are telling him. I guess if you don't mind your items being found, not returned and kept stay here but I'd rather stay somewhere I felt my belongings were secure and the staff was honest. Who knows how many times this has happened to people staying here. I can forgive and over look a lot from establishments but dishonesty and the out right theft of travelers items is something I will never tolerate. Why can't people just be honest and give back what does not belong to them.

Great location!

1st time visiting Houston for the holiday weekend and picked the perfect hotel and location. The hotel is cenrrally located and close to all the venues/restaurants we wanted to visit. Anh, the front desk host/concierge was amazing! She was friendly, held our bags before check in and provided complimentary cold water with the temps being in the 90s. I would definitely stay here when visiting.
