We selected this property because it was convenient. It was a wonderful experience! We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and were treated like royalty by all staff - from front desk, to parking, to dining, to housekeeping. The time on property was safe, restful, relaxing, and provided not only a good night's rest, but also, because of its location, was able to serve as an easy, convenient "hub" for our activities in the area: shopping, entertainment, and fine dining away from the property. The management and all staff were very courteous, personable, knowledgeable, and professional as well as efficient! We will definitely be back!

This hotel used to be great. But now it needs a key to go to every floor. Which was a pain in the ass sometimes the key card wouldn’t work and it would take me all the way up to someone else’s floor. It was also incovnient when I ordered food because I had to come down to get the food or get a friend . Last time I was there it didn’t need a key. I like convenience when I’m staying at a hotel .will not stay here again.

We have stayed here a few times the past two years but the last stay with had here wasn’t the best experience. Our room wasn’t the cleanest, hair in the restroom and the sheets had small blood stains. Definitely will not be staying here again. But overall a great place for a quick night.

This property is conveniently located by the Galleria mall. And is very clean and safe… I love the pool and the sizes of the rooms are great! Thank you so much for the VIP gift! Vusal, at the front desk was amazing! This will be the hotel I will be coming back to every month or every other month for business purposes as well as leisurely. I was treated so well by Vusal, that I will treat my employees and their families here as a gift.
