Stayed here with my family while attending a conference downtown.
Good location, which is a short walk to the conference center. Location could be unnerving if you haven't been to downtown Houston recently. Often there's homeless folks nearby, but they weren't intrusive. Experience is relative, so I'm not as alarmed by things like that. Could do without folks smoking marijuana just outside the entrance.
Room is large and well equipped. Large bedroom/living area with full kitchen. Always useful when having left overs or sometimes a late breakfast. Showers could do with some updates. You can see the wear in the room if you look for it. WIFI was decent speed though and decent amount of outlets.
Real downside was the smell in the 10th floor corridor though. Smelt like the carpets were wet too long and never really dried. Really obvious when you exit the elevator. Wasn't an issue inside the room or in the lobby areas though.
Free bfast was good. Good variations including fruit and sufficient quantities. 24hr coffee is a plus. Small mart area near lobby, but decent priced grocery shopping is very nearby.
Staff were kind, helpful and always greeting. I will give them a thumbs up for their staff attitude and training.
Considering the location, I may stay here again, knowing the prices of the other hotels in close proximity to the conference center.
