I always have a wonderful stay at this property. The hotel feels modern and well-kept, with a great range of amenities. One of the highlights is the evening reception with food and wine—it adds such a welcoming touch. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Its location near the Galleria Mall is also a big plus. Highly recommend!

The hotel was very clean, very good area, the breakfast amazing, and lastly the staff was always at your service. Even though all that was pleasant, there was a fee of 25$ a day for parking in the garage that was not made clear to us. The parking garage was the ONLY place for parking therefore you are forced to pay, so consider that fact before booking. Aside from that they charged me the money out of my deposit. Which again, they told us the 100$ was for a deposit not for parking. Conveniently this was made known to us upon leaving which was very upsetting. Other than that the stay was great and very pleasant.

Would stay here again without question

Check in was great, parking is $28 per car, but you must scan a key card to get in and out and in addition to the "arm" of the garage, there's also a fence that drops from the ceiling so we felt VERY secure there. Rooms were clean and nice. Offer a social hour in the evenings with complimentary beverages and appetizers for hotel guests, great breakfast (better than the typical eggs and a bagel hotel breakfast). Overall VERY pleased and would absolutely stay here again. Always looking for "in town" places to stay after late nights at the ball game or rodeo season. Will keep this one on our list.
