Stayed here the week of September 9th - for an entire week. Once I saw the red ants the minute I walked into my room (immediately after checking in) - I should've walked right out and checked in at the nearest Hilton.
Ants kept appearing throughout the week. The place was loud, meaning the building is poorly built. I heard every footstep, every door shut and the air conditioning unit and fridge were extremely loud. In order to get some sleep, I finally turned off the air conditioning, which made it tough to sleep because it got warm in my room.
The 4th day, I found giant cockroaches in the bathroom. I am not sure if they were cockroaches, actually - don't care - they were nearly 2 inches long, nasty and had no place in my room.
It poured one day last week, and when a colleague entered his room after a long day at the office, his room was flooded.
This is supposed to be a business friendly hotel. I needed to print a document before heading into the office. Went into the lobby where the computer and printer were. A guest was on the computer (watching women's wrestling, ok whatever) - so I asked the receptionist if she could print a file for me using one of their computers in the back. She couldn't because the computers were not turned on (and she's not sure how to log onto them). She asked around, but no one in the facility at the time knew what to do. So, she asked the women's wrestling fan to move aside for a minute (and he did). However, the printer was broken! Yep, very business friendly - eh? Good thing that this was my last day, meaning I already checked out, my stuff was in the car and I planned to never ever look back.
I thought I would stay here because it was very close to the office - and thought I would save the company a few bucks. Nope, never ever again! I would not wish this place to my worst enemy.
Another reviewer mentioned, "Run, Don't Walk" - I couldn't agree more. The only thing I want to do after 12-14 hours at the office, is to relax in my room (and not worry about bugs, flooding, etc)...
Hilton is a bit farther away and costs about $60 more / night. Next time I visit Houston (which will likely be in a few weeks), I will pay the extra $60/ night (out of my own expense if I have to).
