Hotel area is great close to plenty of restaurants, but a couple Christmas parties and people from Georgia Brown convention made it difficult at times in getting in a out of garage and hotel restaurants. Will recommended for family when hotel not hosting anyone from convention.

8/10 Very good

I loved how close it was to the Toyota Center
My favorite part was how close it was to the Toyota Center. I was able to walk to the concert in heels. It was nice, clean and a good view. They did piss me off when they wouldn’t give my son another key to our room. The key I gave him stopped working for some odd reason. I understand it was for protection, but I was on FaceTime trying to explain to them that I couldn’t leave the concert to bring him another key or come get another key for him. I was able to convince the venue security manager to let me out to give him my key.

Elegance in Downtown Houston.
Loved my stay. I reserved my room for a concert being held at the Toyota Center. Perfect hotel!! Less than a 3 minute walk. The hotel staff were great. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas. There are many dining locations that are within walking distance. There are restaurants located within the hotel also. There’s also a Starbucks in the hotel. I truly enjoyed my stay. Ladies, there’s a magnifying mirror attached to the bathroom wall. Self parking is $40 a night and there’s a $75 per night incidental fee that’s billed to your card at check in. The $40 is deducted from the $75.
