21+ Requirement not Listed

Nowhere on their website or on hotels.com did it state that to check in one must be 21. I booked this hotel for my 19 year old and her friend because the site said “adults 18+.” The manager let them stay but only because they had nowhere else to go and were so far from home. Almost ruined a fun birthday trip because of misinformation on these sites.

This hotel is a hidden gem! The staff was friendly and welcoming. We had the best sleep ever on the extremely comfortable mattress and heavenly pillows. We were impressed by the extra care free options for visitors who were there for medical treatments at the hospital complex. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Houston.

A fun and welcoming environment as a whole. Everyone we met were all pleasant and helpful. The hotel itself is so nice. The decor is beautiful and flows from space to space. Breakfast was fantastic. Everything was hot and fresh. We would absolutely stay here again. A very unique place to stay.

The lady at check-in was very nice even after dealing with a very rude customer right before helping me. She explained breakfast times, bar hours, and gave me information about the shuttle service. Hotel was very clean. Darrell, the shuttle driver was very nice and got us to and from our event at the NRG pretty quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay, but missed a couple details.

I came to Houston for a medical procedure/surgery. Upon check-in the receptionist kindly gave me a room on the first floor for ease of access. The room was clean. It seemed like it was being renovated and a couple things weren’t completely done. I’m a contractor by trade and noticed a loose and missing tile by the tub, a missing strike plate(where the deadbolt laches) on the room door, and a missing threshold under the door(should seal for fire safety). That didn’t affect my stay any, but others would appreciate those details being complete. It would make the stay feel a little more like “home.” The parking lot was well lit and felt secure. Overall, the breakfast was good, the staff was kind, and the bed was comfortable. Hotel Ylem made for a good stay.

Very cute, boutique hotel! Love that they help transport free hospital patients. Free coffee and tea all day! The third floor has higher ceilings - prettier! Yay! 1. The smoking area is right outside the front door. 2. If someone parks near the front, even temporarily, it is difficult to navigate around (on foot or in vehicle). 3. I asked for another roll of TP (no spare in the bathroom) and they asked for my room number. Am I trying to steal thin, cheap TP? 4. Fruit went from real fruit on the first day to sugary fruit cups on the next. Asking the attendant for more was a stern, "No more." 5. Love that they have hot breakfast items, but the heating container was NOT conducive to using tongs. Plus, they put the metal spoon for the gravy right below the heating element so VERY HOT to get a scoop of gravy. 6. Love the late checkout time, but my key was disabled at least 30 min prior to checkout so I could not get back into my room after I went into the car. Had to go back to down the desk to ask to be allowed back inside to gather the rest of my belongings.
Hot breakfast but not user friendly accessible.
Not eco-friendly. Still using single use plastics.

Rooms were not ready to check in- seems like they need more willing to work staff. There was a line to check in. It was a concert weekend. They should’ve been prepared for a lot of people to check in at 3pm- considering the area they are in. That was really annoying because we had less time to get ready for the concert we were there to attend. They also need to expand parking or not book that many people- it was chaos.
