Stayed here for one night on a business trip last week. Made my reservation online as I know the Galleria area is nice and would offer things to do and places to eat within walking distance.
I was put on 3rd floor, right by a stairwell facing a concrete parking garage. I was frustrated as I could not get my drapes to stay all the way closed so I had to change in the bathroom and had an overwhelming feeling that people could see in my room as they were parking their cars throughout the night. Fun! The headlights coming in my room were at all hours were really fun too. Too bad I was already completely unpacked by the time I realized these two issues after dark or I would have made them change me to another room.
Also, the bathroom door in my room blocked the front door completely. One would think that this is a fire hazard as if you left it open during the night, you would not be able to get to the door to exit quickly.
For the price, it was a decent stay and convenient location; however, do keep in mind if you're traveling as a family and or children, you may have to do a little explaining as the hotel bumps up to a strip club right next door with high traffic in the evening.
Overall the accomodations were clean, fairly quiet (minus people in the stairwell) but basic. The fresh baked cookies at the check-in desk were a nice touch and made the whole lobby smell like a warm vanilla candle.......but that's where my warm and fuzzy feeling ended - the lobby.
Will try another property in the area next time I'm in Houston.
