Top Houston Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston

Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston

8/10 Good
"Room was small but nice, bathroom almost as big as the actual room. The mattress was honestly awful, so uncomfortable and every time we moved the whole frame rolled/squeaked. Ice buckets are located on lower level next to the ice machine (we found them on our 2nd night). FYI they are paper buckets, so double up. The valet crew were honestly the most personable people and so very helpful with everything. Front desk was barely helpful. The lounge area is HUGE, the hallway that you check in at was small and easily crowded. Location of the hotel was *perfect* for walking to the hobby center, and had plenty of places to eat in walking distance."
