Tires and rims stolen off my vehicle and someone elses as well . The hotel has security on staff so not sure how thieves managed to get away with this. Parked in the camera view and under lighting. I would not recommend staying here . We came to go to md anderson cancer center for one day. Please stay somewere else, where they has valet parking and a parking garage.

The staff was so nice and the room was wonderful. The mini fridge was so cute, I’m not looking for one for the house. If I had any complaints it would be that the parking lot could use some more lighting & to be cleaned up. I assume they’re mid-renovation just based on what was in the lot.

Bacon can definitely be cooked a bit longer to give it that crisp/crunchy taste. Variety is key. Rooms are comfortable and staff is amazing!!!
