Go somewhere else

I’ve been making a lot of trips to Houston over the last four years because my daughter’s been at school there. This hotel was the bottom of the barrel worst hotel I’ve stayed at so far. And granted it’s not expensive. But it was like walking through trash and broken windows and shopping carts set up around the opening of the building. And then when I went in, it was like a homeless center. It took the man way too long to get to me, because I had to get back to the school. It was just overall a really bad experience. And I tried to cancel my reservation, and I’ll probably have to deal with that later.

I absolutely do not recommend!

The guy at the front counter was very rude and unprofessional. The whole place stinks and is filthy. The parking lot is also dirty. The whole place looks run down and not took car off. The rooms smell like mold and the beds look like they have bed bugs. I ended up leaving this place .

This hotel is a scam. I've already filed a complaint with Hotels.com and am awaiting a refund. The photos on the Hotels.com website are not true to form. From the moment you enter, everything is terrible. The walls and floors were extremely dirty. The service was terrible. The hallway leading to the room was like a dead animal. The entire hallway and bedroom carpet was completely stained and dirty. The bedroom wall was damaged. The bathroom smelled like it had been abandoned. The shower faucet wouldn't turn off. The light switch in the bathroom didn't work. Absolutely a scam.

This place sucks

This place was ass and I think they stole my credit card information because he kept looking at my card and it looked like he was trying to memorize the numbers specially the security numbers in the back. Then 2 days later my card gets used in California so I'm guessing he did steal my information . My bank notified me that there was something wrong and cancelled my card in time

I was disappointed with my experience at Romana Hotel. Rather than a traditional hotel environment, the property resembled a marketplace for smoking-related products. I was surprised to see this property listed on Expedia, as it does not seem to meet the expected standards for accommodations. I hope Expedia will reconsider its listing criteria to ensure a more conventional hotel experience for travelers.

This was literally the worse hotel I have been to. I checked in and checked right out. The guy at the front desk was so unprofessional. He was constantly yelling and using words he shouldn'thave.. I have a video of him arguing with a guest. I have over 20 pictures of how dirty and unsafe this place was.There was mold in our room & the guy refused to refund me.
