Rooms are a bit dated - but I think that is the motif. The most friendly staff I think I have experienced. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Quirky little place. The underpinnings are a cheapish hotel that they’ve remodeled with lots of eclectic furnishings. Good parking lot. Bar was closed. Breakfast was decent.

Conveniently located close to NRG Stadium. Was able to walk to venue and avoid traffic. Interaction with staff was less than satisfactory this time staying at location.

The room was very clean and the bedding was fresh and comfortable. The staff was amazing and helped make our trips to the hospital so easy. I felt like the room should have had at least one chair and lamps on the bedside tables eould have been very helpful.
I loved my stay, and the staff was really great. But when checking in they gave me a one bed room. I showed them my booking was for a two queen bed room and the promptly fixed it. But I was told Expedia just sends a booking over for first availability without specifications on the room.
