    The room was falling apart and outdated. The mirror for example looked it was falling apart and the floor was damaged . Location was not nice the highway woke me up more than anything. Worst the valet were so rude and actually made us feel not welcome . One even snapped at my husband . J

    I love the people who worked at the front desk and the restaurant for breakfast. They made us feel so comfortable

    I think I have just one complaint. Even though I booked the room for four people and it was advertised as 'breakfast included' it wasn't included at first. I had to ask staff about it and the lady at the counter wasn't too happy fulfilling my request. I was given only two vouchers for a breakfast even though the room, as I said earlier, was booked for four. The lady explained it's their policy and she can only give me two vouchers... So, keep that in mind if you go there with larger group. The breakfast itself will cost you around $20 otherwise. Basically, in this regard it's far below what you'll get for a 4*, or even 3* run of the mill hotel in Europe.

    I chose the hotel mainly because it offered great price in the city center, with walkable distance to Toyota Center. It's located in what seems to be a financial district so it's very quiet and the area seems to be super safe.

    No huge issues but there was practically an entire wall of outlets in the room that did not work, so we had to alternate charging our devices at the nightstand. Very small bathroom. Long wait for the elevators. No mini fridge or microwave in the room.

    Hotel is located on the "outskirts" of downtown, so a lot less foot and vehicle traffic. The lobby looked nice. Hotel appeared clean in the areas we visited. Saw many reviews about the valet parking but there is a covered garage right next door that we used. Quick check in and checkout.

    The best thing about it is the location, very good location in downtown.

    Although impressive the rooms are a little patch worked up to look newer or modern, so our toilet had an issue the entire time we were there.

    Very modern in the Bobbie be very clean. Lots of people around in the front counter. Staff was exceptional.

    Nothing really, but just as feedback; The hotel corridors could do with a bit of refreshment, but that didn't bother me or influence my general impression of the hotel. I was working a fair bit in my room, and just a bit stronger light would be good.

    The room had all the things expected and required. Great with ironing board, iron, and hairdryer. Work space came handy, and the bed was very comfy. Facilities were nice, outside bar with live music as well as breakfast restaurant- both with lovely staff! Thank you Vicky! I would stay here again if I return to Houston.

    Quiet, nice and comfortable stay in central location in downtown Houston

    The bathrooms are perhaps a bit small although well organized. There is no rack to dry the towel after a shower. Some of the amenities did not work properly (e.g. room safe did not operate at all, one of the faucets was loose, and the wifi signal was very weak on the 11th floor). Finally, in the morning, as things get quite busy, the elevator wait can be very long especially for those on the upper floors of the hotel.

    The hotel offers clean, quiet, comfortable and spacious rooms. The mattress is firm but not too hard. The pillows are soft but not too much so. The bathroom offers body wash, shampoo and hair conditioner. The hotel is located at the southern end of downtown Houston, but within an easy walking distance to all of the downtown area. Moreover, getting an Uber/Lyft never required a wait longer than 5 minutes for trips outside of downtown.

    I asked two of the staff directions and neither of them spoke English so I was left without help wandering about. Lol The outside light shown through the crack around the door really bad at night and if the water in the neighboring room was running it sounded like a monster hiding inside my room. Frightening until you figure out what it is. Bathroom was small and had my claustrophobic personality freaking a tad. Sometimes the elevator wait on the 5th floor was 15 minutes. I had to take the stairs (5th floor) and almost missed my Uber. Annoying. Oh and my kids used the long pillows as swords and fought with them. Parents beware. Oh, oh and not all of our rooms outlets worked. Lastly was that the midnight snack selection was sub-par.

    Beautiful lobby and friendly valet assistance. Also the pillows were fantastic! 10/10 on that!
