Exceptional
We verify reviews to ensure the traveler booked with Expedia Group. Travelers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
I chose to stay there because it is located in the theater district and Alley Theater, Philharmonic, Ballet and Opera are either across the street or a block further away.
After performances the lobby, bar and restaurant are the watering hole for the people interested in the arts of Houston.
Very nice!
Great stay. Its akk about the little details that add up. Hand written personal note, free snacks and drinks, very clean. Extremely polite staff for the valet, doorman, check in staff and room service. Best hotel in Houston.
The guest services manager is an exceptional young man. There's a tan wan with glasses and excessive jewelry working the front desk that was dismissive and overly stressed out. Still a great stay however the woman was overwhelmed and unorganized as we were waiting over 3 hours and missed our show which we had purchased tickets for because we could not get into our room in time to dress for the evening.
