Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Room was good and people were nice however breakfast was inedible really really bad. Juice in the room fridge was also spoiled. This place is very closer to the theatre which we like but the amenities were certainly not in line with the price. Should also note that it took three separate calls to book a room and then they quoted 40 dollars more than Expedia. When I asked about the difference I was just repeated the rate quoted before. We have stayed here multiple times but next time I think we will go to one of the Marriotts or even the Hilton 😞shame because the rooms are nice and the location is excellent.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed at the Lancaster Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The accommodations were perfect, and the art collection was a true highlight. The hotel clerk was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name. The bellman and parking staff were extremely helpful, and the room was spotless. I especially enjoyed learning more about the artwork through the QR codes. Unfortunately, the restaurant and bar staff weren't very friendly, but the food was excellent.

Incredible service, great rooms, walking distance to theater district. Perfect for Houston Marathon weekend. Dyson blow dryer is a great touch! Only complaint I have is the lack of good coffee on site.
