Worst hotel experience at Houston.
This hotel really needs a lot of work in every area.Starting with the staff, not wearing an uniform or an ID that identify them as employees. The breakfast was an important aspect for me in order to save, however the food was soo poor that not even coffee was ready. The room was in terrible shape, we have a toilet that every time we flushed, water started to came out from the base. I will not come back to this hotel, I will like to share the photos that I took but this app doesn't allow me to do it.

Ugly Hotel
For Star the inside of the hotel lobby looked very outdated and the hallway on the first floor going to the elevator looked terrible. The door going up the stairs was in bad condition looked like it was going to fall as soon as you open it.

Worst hotel ever
The room was absolutely terrible! There was a period stain on the covers and a bandaid in the towel that the provided! Like did they even clean the place. And when brought to the managers attention he rolled his eyes and stated that all he could do was give new blankets and towels. Absolutely disgusting, I would not recommend this place!!

The hotel is close to the airport. The hotel was easy to get to from Beaumont. The hotel was easy to check-in even thought it was 11pm when we got there. There was plenty of spaces to park and easy to get back into the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. It was a quick overnight stay but would stay there again.

Shuttle never showed up. Had to pay an Uber. There is always a problem with the shared shuttle service at IAH. Initially told it would be 45 min. Kind of a long wait …. Then a no show.

Pretty sure the hotel is being run by drug using, unstable people. Invthe lobby there was rough construction materials. It is filthy. The carpets were horrifying. Half done painting and finishes. Its like someone's drunk uncles was hired for maintenance. Neighborhood also sketchy. I went down to catch an uber at 3:30 in the morning and there were two cops hauling out a homeless guy who snuck into the hotel. This place needs to be investigated and shutdown. It smelled like day old fried donuts, too.

This was the biggest “false advertisement” I have ever seen. The front picture is computer generated. The carpets and bedding were disgusting with stains and body hair still on our pillows. Walking in to the lobby you get hit with a smell that I would imagine is cigarette smoke that has seeped into the walls. No hot breakfast, the pool was basically a puddle that there’s no way they properly chlorinated. Run away avoid at all costs. Just plain old gross.

Took booking and payment, on arrival the hotel was closed. No communication about this. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Had to sort alternative accommodation without any support and pay out even more money for a place to sleep.
