The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria
Paying $35 to park and then struggling to find a spot is crazy. We had a leak from the shower

Omni Houston Hotel
Beautiful scenery around hotel. Staff seemed mildly welcoming and didn’t even look up when departing and dropping key off. Pools beautiful.

Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria
No complimentary water. You have to be an Elite Hyatt member or a bottle of water is $3. Breakfast, I believe ended at 9:30 am, which is way too early. The toilet was a little loose at the bottom, so it moved. Also, they didn't give me any info, on anything, just a key and a room number. No list ...
