Sonesta Simply Suites Houston – NASA Clear Lake
One of the worst experiences I've had in a long time... The guy at the front desk was rude and the rooms reeked a foul odor. When I was given another room, it smelled worst than the first one. It was an extend-a-stay for the wrong crowd which I wouldn't advise anyone with taste to book there..

Desk Staff was not professionally dressed, the fridge was dirty in our room, and the decor had been painted over, not making for a very attractive finish.
