Conveniently located close to NRG Stadium. Was able to walk to venue and avoid traffic. Interaction with staff was less than satisfactory this time staying at location.

Quirky little place. The underpinnings are a cheapish hotel that they’ve remodeled with lots of eclectic furnishings. Good parking lot. Bar was closed. Breakfast was decent.
Friendly staff, and close to the NRG Stadium but the overall hotel and room is needing some TLC.

The room was very clean and the bedding was fresh and comfortable. The staff was amazing and helped make our trips to the hospital so easy. I felt like the room should have had at least one chair and lamps on the bedside tables eould have been very helpful.

Bacon can definitely be cooked a bit longer to give it that crisp/crunchy taste. Variety is key. Rooms are comfortable and staff is amazing!!!
