After reading the reviews for the Sam Houston we were really looking forward to staying there. The hotel is located in the up and coming Downtown area of Houston. On arrival, we thought the hotel looked clean and modern - quite trendy in fact. The rooms are fairly nice too - though a bit small. The bathrooms are the best bit about the hotel. I don't think the hotel caters for guests staying more than a day or so. There really is very little wardrobe and drawer space available.
The restaurant is very nice for dinner (a bit pricey for Houston), but quite poor for breakfast. You can't get something simple like toast or cereal - they do have oats but there is too much extra stuff added to it. I have to admit that the sight of the breakfast menu made me feel slightly nauseous (think duck comfit hash - yuk).
Overall this is a nice hotel - though I would say it is more suited to the business traveller than the vacation guest. I don't think we would stay here again. It just isn't that comfortable.
