The hotel was nice and comfortable, but the parking situation is awful. Very tight parking garage with a lot of steep inclines. On top of that, they charge $25/night to park. Parking should be free when you're already paying to stay at a hotel and there's no other option!

The breakfast was excellent and rare! The room was clean, spacious, and clean. I found the bedroom to be comfortable. The garage parking was so so. The security measures to enter the hotel was off putting- but, maybe good/needed I did not feel safe walking out as the night fell and returned to the hotel. An unfortunate part of most cities these days. Sunday was a ghost town in Houston and this added to the strange feeling around the property. The price was good and the breakfast was exceptional.

Good value for money. My room was cleaner and newer than I expected from the appearance of the building and lobby. Staff were polite and helpful, but also fixated with getting me to scan a QR code and leave a 5-star review specifically mentioning their name, so I do wonder about the work culture of this place...

Bad business practice

The stay wasn't bad, except for the fact that my son, whom I booked the trip for, got charged $50 extra for not matching his ID to a credit card he was using for incidentals. This was his birthday present from us for him to be able to attend a gathering with friends and not have to worry about him having to take a long trip back home in the middle of the night.
