9/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)

The room and bed were great. Upon arrival, I found a note on my door stating the property would be doing upgrades the week I was there and access to my room would be required by workers. When I called the front desk, the woman verified that was correct. I did express that wasn’t ok with me, I didn’t want workers randomly showing up and being in my room. The clerk became defensive and dismissive. It was rude and I didn’t appreciate booking a room and then showing up to the possibility of workers in my room. It felt like a pretty big ask. Just shut down what you need to renovate and don’t disturb your guests.

The Blossom Hotel is absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly, the room was gorgeous and the lobby is beautiful. Every area of the hotel was clean. The breakfast was delicious. I stayed for one night and hated that my stay couldn’t be longer. I will definitely stay at The Blossom when I am in Houston again!
