Stayed here for the second night of a two-night stay in Houston for my company's Christmas party. If I had my choice I might have stayed somewhere else but the company was paying for it so oh well. I was still pleasantly satisfied with the hotel in general, as I and my girlfriend are not that hard to please. We stayed on the 12th floor right next to the elevator. At first I thought this would be an issue due to the noise from the elevator but we did not hear anything at all at night which made me happy. I do not know if it was because of the fact that we were right next to the elevator but our room was in a unique layout with an L-shape essentially separating the living area from the bed area (the bed was tucked around kinda behind the elevator). I enjoyed the fact that we had wall-to-wall window and if there had not been a building in the way it would have presented a very nice view of the Galleria and the Williams Tower. The bathroom was a little small but we made it work. Internet was a little pricey at 12.95 but a little negotiating at check-out made it free. Two main issues I had with the place was the lack of security in the parking garage (several cars were broken into the night of our stay, thankfully my rental was not one of them), and the highway robbery committed in the restaurant. $16 apiece for a breakfast buffet that would have cost $10 in any other place was ridiculous. I should have asked how much it cost before we decided on the buffet. To summarize, the noise from the elevator was minimal at worst, the room was clean, the view was non-existent as was security in the parking garage, breakfast buffet was good but overpriced, and location was good when you know the back way into the property.
