Dear Kiata,What you have described is far from the experience we want our guests to have. The cleanliness and upkeep of our accommodations are two of our top priorities, so it's unfortunate to hear that this wasn't reflected during your recent visit. While we treat our property regularly, we will be sure to have our pest control and housekeeping teams look into all of your comments further and make improvements where necessary. Please consider giving us another chance to impress you in the future.

When I woke up to use the restroom, the water was off. I called the front desk and they stated that they will call me back with an update. I waited for over an hour and there was no return call I called back again and I was told the same thing, I waited two more hours and no callback. I call back a third time in the Front Desk told me they were on the phone with the water company to resolve the issue and they will give me a call back, but never did the water did come back on a few hours later , the smell of marijuana, was up and down the hallway and young children were sitting on top of the front desk countertop.

Room had dirty blanket and sheets on both beds. Dirty carpets and clumps of something on floor. …. Staff was very good though. Gave us clean sheets (that we put on), got us a tv controller because it was missing. We arrived late and were there to sleep for one night only, actually about five hours, or we would’ve never stayed and would have relocated for sure.

The hotel has potential but its transition to new administration proved to be a problem for us. I picked this hotel because of the airport shuttle and breakfast. It’s a lift service, but they did not communicate that. So I edited for an hour at the airport while trying to contact the hotel staff for clarification.The name change and the phone change confused everyone. I got stuck. So, communicate more the details in Expedia. The staff was very attentive. I do appreciate that!!but they said breakfast was 6 to 9 but there was no breakfast. I just left. Again, respectful staff caring are the reason I don’t give lowest rating

First they could not find our booking. Then the room they gave us had mold behind the bed and blood stains on the floor. The front desk moved us immediately To a different room that had roaches. The only good thing i can say about the stay is that the front seat lady was nice.

Unbelieveably bad! New owners are taking a lovely facility and an amazing staff and are doing their best to make sure they have no return guests! Elevator not working upon departure and had to carry my luggage down 3 flights of stairs. No time of repair indicated! No soap in the shower soap containers. No bedspread! Waffle iron timer broken for first 2 days of my stay. Entrance automatic door got stuck and locked me out. I knocked hard on the door and other guests inside found the switch and activated it to make the door open! Guest snack for purchase shelves had been cleaned out by previous owners and not restocked! In spite of the lack of normal guest products and state of decline, I saw no bugs, so the staff is working very hard to do what they can. The staff is lovely. I hope they all find new jobs!!!! I feel for them.

My room was infested with roaches and the bed has bed bugs. I have videos and pictures. I tried to tell the staff, they all said they dont speak any english. My child and I didnt sleep due to the bugs every were, we sat up on the chair all night until we had to check out. They had no vending machines, no bottle water, the pool was empty, the smell was horrible, The only person was super nice was the girl at the front desk at 3am. She was so sweat and kind, but I was leaving to go to the airport. I would never recommend that hotel. Worst visit to Texas. I cried my entire stay. Oh and as far as the free breakfast, what was that? It gave we do not care about our hungry customers who payed to stay here. And the bugs that I killed on the bed why was they bleeding? I have never in my life killed a big flat looking bleeding bug. Grossed out and traumatizing for my child. Thanks for the horrible experience.

good location, cheap hotel
Our stay was fine for the price, but a little disappointing. When we arrived the room smelled like grass. Odors in other parts of the hotel as well. A couple lights in the room didn’t work, and the in-room coffee maker was broken. Continental breakfast was minimal, consisting of cereal, bread, waffles, and coffee (and good luck finding a plate to put your waffles on). The property is advertised as having an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, but this is incorrect. There is only one pool that is half indoors and half outdoors, so with winter weather it was frigid. Bottom line: this is a great location, conveniently located in between many Houston-area attractions and Hobby airport. But I get the impression they need to invest more in their staff for the quality of day-to-day operations.

The exterior of the facility was well kept, but the interior was a different story. Our room had stains on the carpet and some stains were sticky. We asked for extra towels and were told housekeeping would bring them soon, they never showed up. For the price I won't complain too much but I won't be staying there ever again.
