Stay Report - 7/10 to 7/11

Location: The hotel is located in Downtown Houston on Main and Congress. The entrance is on Main which can be a little tricky when you first arrive. There's a Light Rail stop right outside as well and you can walk to a lot of the downtown activities including the Astros park. There's a decent late night pizza joint right across the street too which is always a bonus. It's easy enough to get to I-69 or I-45 too.

Hotel: The property is a beautiful old hotel (built in 1911) with a lovely lobby and a nice bar. They also have their own parking garage and valet and the valet guys do great work. The elevators are older so they can be pretty small but there were never any waits. All the common areas were really fun to be in.



Check In: Good service and I was offered bonus points as well as breakfast for two though sadly I was leaving too early for that.

Room: Really nice with lots of space and surprisingly high ceilings and an absolutely gorgeous bathroom with separate tub and shower and Gilcrest & Soames products. The Wifi worked well and there were outlets next to the bed. My only complaint is the TV wasn't an InterneTV.









Overall a great option in Houston. I'd love to come back.
