The Ylem is the VIBE! A most stay hotel in Houston. The decor is chic and every of the hotel is perfect for an Instagram worthy pic. The rooms are cozy and adorable. The location is convenient and affordable for a quick getaway. The staff is absolutely AMAZING! They go above and beyond for every guest from sharing their recommendations on restaurants, shopping and things to do. I love their mission to impact the lives of others globally by providing clean water from the proceeds of every purchase at the property. Trust me the Ylem and their staff have perfected guest relations post COVID. Can’t wait to visit again and bring my friends.

This hotel has to be a borderline health hazard. I saw the reviews that mentioned the musty/moldy smell but I thought that maybe it was just a one off experience. As soon as we walked into the room the dusty/damp/ancient smell was overwhelming. It felt and smelled like a 150 year old dungeon. I'm guessing that the building is very old and this hotel brand just threw some paint on the walls and installed some new flooring. But they opted to leave the original tub and toilets??? The design theme is...interesting. The bathroom floor was a modern design and fairly new, the bathtub drain was badly rusted with a drain that looked like it had been there since the 1840s - no kidding. They tried to throw some paint over the very old tub and it chipped and rusted in multiple spots. It was soo rusted that I was scared to take a shower. We requested a roll away bed and when they brought the bed up to the room, I honestly thought they pulled it out of some sort of underground dungeon. The frame was a heavy, rusted metal and the smell of the mattress was like they found it in the basement of somebody's great, great, great Granny. We decided not to use it and instead crowded into one bed. I can't make this stuff up. I have traveled alot to include internationally and I don't ever remember an experience that was quite this bad. My eyes were red, I had a massive headache and my chest was burning by the morning time and my poor mom coughed all night.
