Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a hit with music lovers thanks to its close proximity to downtown venues—you’re just a quick Uber or Lyft ride away from the action.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the immediate area doesn't have many restaurants within walking distance, so having a car or planning food ahead can help. Also, while the hotel is near downtown, you’ll likely need a ride to reach most venues and nightlife.

Hotel with a friendly staff,...

Liked: It was clean, staff was friendly! Close to the venue we were attending an event at!
Disliked: We were there for an event, so it was more expensive than I’d have wanted it to be for one night. But, I get it!

We would pick this place...

Liked: Despite location being out of downtown, it was an easy enough drive to get anywhere. I always saw staff cleaning no matter the time of day. Picked the place because of free parking, free breakfast and indoor pool

Pleasant but mostly functional

Liked: Good breakfast, clean and modern, with simple but nice amenities in the room (Keurig, mini-fridge, iron and ironing board, lotions and shampoo in the bath), good lighting, good sound-proofing from traffic noise, etc. Easy access off I-45.
Disliked: Right on the interstate and not a lot nearby (shops, restaurants, etc) and not a pleasant neighborhood. But, for the convenience to Houston and the highway, it felt safe for an urban location.

Overallo, our stay was very...

Liked: Location was close to many attractions. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection of hot and cold items to choose from. Softest pillows and beds in the world. Cleaning staff did a great job everyday keeping our rooms spotless and comfortable.
Disliked: I didnt like all the noise I heard outside from all the traffic and street racers.
