I understand why many of the reviews describe this hotel as being in need of renovation, and feeling rather dank and depressing. I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member but I rarely stay at mainline Hilton properties. I generally end up at Hampton Inn or the occasional Hilton Garden. So when I do get to a Hilton I have rather high expectations of the properties and the Hilton Houston Hobby really doesn't live up to those expectations.
I needed a "day room" for required rest today (company policy) and booked this hotel. I was given a Cabana room overlooking the pool. The room is large, and is, for the most part, clean. It is very ... I guess for lack of a better word, "moist". The desk chair actually feels wet, which is odd. The room is not particularly well-lit. The lamp at the desk is not working. There are no convenient power-outlets that don't require me to crawl on the floor. Same with bedside tables - you have to unplug a lamp in order to charge your phone.
Thankfully Diamond members get free internet because they do charge for internet here. Hobby airport is notorious for lousy hotels, but I think I had expected this hotel to be of a little higher quality. I can't imagine I would stay here again until after they have put time and money into a very thorough gutting and remodel of guest rooms.
