DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
"Elevators out of order for at least half a day. Scary when you are staying in a room on the upper floors (26 story bldg). Had to take 13 flights of stairs. Also 20% water pressure in bathroom sink, yet shower & kitchen were fine. So this is a plumbing maintenance easy fix...?"
