Our decision to stay at the North Houston Sheraton was triggered by a delay in our flight schedule, prompting an unanticipated overnighter in the Houston area. Wanting to stay close to the airport, our choices were limited. We arrived extremely late due to the aforementioned delays, and were pleased that there was a courtesy shuttle, which, as promised, arrived at the airport, right on time.
Once back at the hotel, I noticed that dining options at or near the hotel at midnight are almost nil. Two drive through restaurants walking distance away do not accept walk ups at that late hour, and all the local pizza haunts stop deliveries between 11pm and midnight. No fault of the hotel, but food for thought (pun intended)If you will be arriving at an ungodly hour.
Check in was straightforward however despite having booked, and verbally confirmed for a two queen bed layout, we were given a king "suite" with rather drab decor. After moving to a properly configured room, I was dismayed that we found two roaches on the drapes in the room, coupled with two lamps that had bulbs burned out. (Perhaps the absence of light masks the nasties in the room). The shower was refreshingly powerful and warm, yet the drainage in the tub was poor, leaving some 3 to 4" of standing water in the tub.
By this time it was 1 am, and not worthy of a complaint to staff. Needless to say, we are glad that it was only a one night stay, and do not plan on returning anytime soon. The shuttle back to IAH the next morning was expeditious and the driver, professional.
