This place is gross. I was there for a convention and heard over and over from the participants what a dump it is. The lobby area is nice and meeting rooms are ok and the beds are comfortable. To be fair, it appears that they tried to update the rooms, but painting over a hole in the wall doesn't cover up the fact that there's a hole in the wall. I'm not a germ-o-phobe by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn't walk barefoot on the carpet. The hallways (especially in the non-tower parts of the building) stink horribly. The final straw for me was after dragging my luggage through several doors and down carpeted hallways, I actually had to carry it down some stairs because there wasn't an elevator handy. In the process of trying to do this, my calf rubbed against the stair edge which had a sharp metal piece hanging off of it. Of course, since I was wearing a dress, it cut my leg and still, more than a week later, I have a scab from it. There are much better places to stay in Houston -- I'd advise looking elsewhere (and for Pete's Sake, don't book a convention here).
