While we enjoyed our stay at the hotel ylem, there were a few things that could have been improved. The hotel is a bit rundown looking from the outside, and definitely on the inside. Most annoying was the lack of any hooks, shower shelves, or toilet paper holder in the bathroom. WiFi is sketchy. However the bed was really comfy and the breakfast was ok. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Best of all was the shuttle to NRG stadium free of charge.

DO NOT BOOK OR STAY HERE!!! WiFi was down. Bar was closed (per staff, had been closed for a while now). The rooms were damp and smelled musty. Probably full of mold. Which I am highly allergic to. Requested to move to another room and was told the hotel was fully booked and there were no other rooms available. My friends’ room was so bad they left and stayed at another hotel down road. The chairs in the lounge area were covered in stains. I was completely disgusted with the whole experience. Needless to say, I will NOT be staying at the hotel again. I encourage others to stay away and drive a little further down the street (like 2 blocks) and stay elsewhere.

I stayed here once before a few years ago and had an excellent stay. However, this recent stay was not as excellent. I walked into a room with stained sheets. It was not too much of a big deal as it was changed quickly. However, there also were very visible stains of all sorts on the bed frame that had been there for some time. This was my only issue. Just think the bed frame needed to be replaced or deeply cleaned. Would stay here again just think some of the furniture needs to be updated.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I will preface by saying, the receptionists at the front desk were wonderful and accommodating. However, I could not complete my stay at this hotel. We left around 10:00pm to find a different hotel to stay at. The furniture in the room, couches, and bed frames as well as the carpet were covered in stains. A very large black cockroach crawled out from under the bed. I asked for our room to be switched and they did so, but as soon as we walked into the new room, the fire alarm was beeping for batteries to be changed. They offered to change them quickly, but at that point, I just wanted to get out of there. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this property.

My stay this time was much better. Only thing is having to go to the front desk for linens to swap out. I didn’t have any towels in my bathroom. The worker only wanted to give me one set. I know for a fact they start off with two. Even for single occupancy. I didn’t argue. Just went back upstairs. Made sure to review when my visit was over.
