Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were filthy, with spiders, cockroaches, dirt on the floor, and non-working AC and fridge. There was also an unsettling incident where a man offered to sell us drugs when we parked. On the positive side, the room was surprisingly warm, clean, and had everything we needed. The overall cleanliness of the place was satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were equipped with a couch, recliner, chair, fridge, and microwave, which was nice. However, the noise from the stairwell kept me up at night. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff and personal attention. The location was convenient for Hobby Airport but not ideal for exploring the city. The dining options were adequate, but nothing extraordinary.
