    The shower pressure

    9Verified guestPosted on: 6-13-2024

    All of the personal touches were a nice change: champagne when you check in, chocolates, turn-down service, free drinks and snacks, art everywhere and an above-average breakfast buffet!

    10SarahPosted on: 12-4-2023

    Great service, very clean, delicious breakfast with lots of options

    Small bathroom. Layout of room and bathroom not very convenient for getting ready for event. Drinks extremely overpriced at bar.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-13-2022

    Classy staff treated us so well! Better than your average nice hotel. Complementary water, champagne, snacks and beverages in the room, breakfast included. The environment was rich with history and art. Perfect location for Arts District events!

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-23-2022

    Very friendly, offered water or glass of bubbly on arrival. Beautifully presented rooms. Local art work displayed throughout. Great water pressure in the shower! Small bathroom but every need accommodated. Delicious breakfast included.

    10MyraPosted on: 3-21-2022

    Everything! From the friendly valet to the check in person to the free champagne. This hotel was so beautiful and we only wish we could've stayed longer. The breakfast that was included was amazing. I would highly recommend to a friend and already have!

    10PaulPosted on: 1-1-2022

    Very classy hotel with nice architecture & artwork. Very well maintained. Friendly staff & management. Nice restaurant. Room was extremely quiet. Nice touch that the drinks and snacks in the room are all complementary. Top notch buffet breakfast.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-1-2022

    Beautiful boutique hotel with friendly, personal service above my expectations. A complimentary breakfast buffet was provided which was probably the best I have ever experienced.

    9JohnPosted on: 4-25-2016

    Cleanliness and helpfulness of staff. The ability to checkout after checkout time and store luggage until I left for airport. Breakfast was good too.

    The workman constantly drilling and making noise in the morning.

    Location was ideal for our business/pleasure trip to Houston. Restaurants nearby, hotel was quiet and employees were very helpful.

    9Jose JrPosted on: 8-10-2015

    Old hotel feel, very homely. Tasteful, elegant room decor. Centrally-located. Best value for your dollar.

    This wonderful historic hotel in the heart of the theatre district was also very close to where I was doing business. When I needed a menswear store, the concierge was of great help finding one open late and the complimentary shuttle took me there free.

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-13-2015

    Smelled wonderfully, nice employees, and clean room.

    Really nice old hotel. Done a nice job keeping it maintained.

    Cable television was analog. Poor quality and used up a small portion of the tv screen.

    10SubashPosted on: 4-13-2015

    Very warm and friendly staff right from the Valet to the front office. It is only the breakfast cafeteria folks who were not uniformly friendly (would say one person who had a bad day? maybe!!). I love this hotel and would like to go again and again.

    No complaints. All positive (smile). The gym is two blocks away. Wonder why the hotel is not able to offer a full fledged gym inside the hotel. Hmm...
