This stay was quite nice. Property was clean and felt upscale. The lobby is very inviting with the large TV and pleasant smell. Staff member Sylvia did a great job informing me of local attractions and was providing helpful tips about the Houston area. Samantha from reception was very helpful in explaining amenities and providing recommendations on what the "younger crowd" and night life in Houston has to offer.
The cons were as follows: although my company did, I can see paying for parking as a guest is quite abnormal. In my history, self-parking is added into the resort fee and valet parking is paid for separately. Secondly, at the time of booking (2 months prior to arrival) there were plenty photos of the pool and how incredible it was. The reason it is closed is sad and unfortunate, but after an unsuccessful exchange with Expedia/the property, I was not offered partial reimbursement. The pool has been closed for 3 months of this year. "Coincidentally" the pictures of the pool and the amenity itself are no longer listed in the listing.
Overall, I liked this hotel. I would recommend it and would stay again.
