Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
No wifi code was provided at check in, one restaurant on the premises, everything else you had to walk/uber to, hotel needs updating, can hear anything and everything in the hallway.
I called for the airport shuttle and my calls were ring no answer. It is $30 by taxi ride (including tip) should you need to know. Breakfast was not worth the $21. Staff at the front desk was not very hospitable. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The housekeeping staff was very nice as well as the buffet staff which gives it 2 stars otherwise it would be 1. I will not be staying here again if I should I need a hotel close to the IAH.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This place could use an upgrade. The curtains had small holes so light came in walking us up in the morning. The tv was old and has no streaming options. We bought a Roku thinking we could use that but there was no way to change the input. We didn’t spend much time in the room, so it was okay. It was cheap and we slept well.
This place was the pits of absolute hell! NO AIR-CONDITION- drug smell throughout the facility.. the pool is nothing like the photos and nothing worked. 1 singular person working July 4th weekend. No management, no fans, had to call security over a domestic dispute in the adjacent room. Security did absolutely nothing because he said he didn’t see the male hit the female.. so he made the recommendation to them to “lower their voice” if I could give the the opposite of 5⭐️ it would be negative infinity . This is a place of misdeeds and zero accountability.. absolute filth!
