Well worth the money

This was a very nice hotel that was totally renovated, the bathroom was neet well finished and really nice towels (I'm a towels nerd), my only complaint would be there's no door to the bathroom so I shower late and the noise bothered my wife. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean , stunning , safe

It is absolutely clean and well-maintained like in Europe, it's not your ordinary American motel. But note, you can't have different guests, they are very strict about it. If you want to stay comfy and on a budget in Houston without bed bugs and cockroaches don't look further, for sex fiestas it's better to look at other options.

Clean & Price is Right

Overnight…hotel and staff very nice and work hard to keep it such. The bed bowed in and not as comfortable but doable for the night…not thrilled by overall area but the place is clean , well lit and they have a privacy fence…very good for price and would most likely stay again…too good a deal to pass up

Please DON'T stay here if you want visitors

The office worker kept calling my room like 10 minutes after I got there because there were 3 people in there and one person was only there for a few minutes.

The hotel is pretty nice, comfy beds, spacious rooms, clean inside and out. However, the front desk staff are the most rude, disrespectful hospitality staff I've ever had to deal with. They are very callous and unsympathetic and have no issue lying to your face to get you to go away rather than actually bother to deal with a problem.
