Stayed here a week ago. I booked a basic king bed room. As an SPG Gold I was "upgraded" to an SPG Floor room with no view whatsoever. I suppose if I had been on the other side of the building I could have looked at I-635 and the high rise buildings of that part of the city. My rate included a free drink and appetizer from the restaurant (Front Yard) as well as the buffet breakfast each morning. I was not asked about what I'd like to have for my Gold amenity at check-in and at check-out they had credited me with 250 points. I asked for the internet charges to be waived instead and the front desk worker readily made the switch. They did not ask if I was interested in the "Make a Green Choice" program, but I put the door hanger out each night and collected the cards. At check-out I was credited with the correct number of points for my nightly participation in MGC. The points and stay credits posted within a couple days of check-out.

The furnishings were nice enough. The climate control was adequate. The bed was very comfortable. The shower didn’t have a ton of pressure, but it got the job done. There were two complementary bottles of water in my room as well as Starbucks coffee. The room included a mini-fridge and microwave. The bathroom was very small. The exercise equipment seems up-to-date and the room plenty big as I never saw anyone in there when I was using the equipment. I did not use the pool so I can’t comment on that. The lobby area is very nice and a comfortable place to hang out. Parking is $10. You get a card when you pull in and pay when you leave. I never left once I got in the lot so I’m not sure if the room key works to trigger in/out privileges.

The Galleria is within easy walking distance of probably a half mile or less. There are some nice restaurants there and three floors of shopping to keep you occupied.

There is a ton of road construction going on in this part of town so pay attention to the signs and don’t rely solely on your GPS to get you to the hotel.

I would stay here again, but must confess that I chose this Sheraton because the airport Westin and Sheraton did not have rooms available for my rate category.
