Great quick stop

Only stayed one night but wish I could have stayed a week. Staff was totally kind and helpful when I arrived early, they accommodated me with a room within the hour when I arrived at 10:00am in the morning. The room was modern, spacious and well appointed. Really liked this hotel, I would stay again anytime I could.

Quick Stop in Houston

Had a wedding to attend in Houston, booked this hotel the day of the stay. Overall experience was great, only complaint was the mandatory valet parking. It was $27/night and some of the times it took longer to get the car from the valet than if I could have walked to it myself.
