I wasn't sure what to expect from the Hotel Indigo, but had heard positive comments and saw very positive reviews online. The Houston location is a little hidden in that you wouldn't see it if you were not REALLY looking for it. It is sort of hidden from the street surrounded by condos and Staybridge Suites to the south, Embassy Suites to the west, a Church and parking lot to the north and the Galleria mall to the east. It is a nice property with a unique charm. All in all the staff was extremely nice and helpful and the property is clean and cheery. The decor is very nautical and slightly unusual. The lobby has oversized (really oversized) adirondack chairs and the colors and decor are of a beach retreat. They have an explanation in the rooms of their philosophy and why the nautilus shells, etc. Felt like staying in a guest suite in someone's beach house.
My only negative comment is that the pillows were not particularly comfortable. I know that may seem small, but there were basically two kinds of pillows on the bed and I didn't find either of them to suit me (one was lumpy and the other was to spongy/springy for my tastes). The bedding otherwise, however, was very comfortable and seemed to be a good quality. The bedroom itself is a little snug, but there was a generous hallway with a wet bar that was convenient and left plenty of room for belongings.
Would definitely stay there again (but maybe bring my own pillow next time).
