7.8/10

The hotel had some positives like a retro-mini refrigerator and microwave in the room, but there were issues regarding unattended mold or water, requiring the A/C to be adjusted higher. On the bright side, the room was very clean and dust-free, which was crucial as my Dad is currently in the ICU awaiting a heart transplant.

7.4/10

I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms were nice and well accommodated to me, clean and comfortable for the price, but they were also musty, like a damp attic with no ventilation, making it necessary to crank up the A/C much higher. The service was initially a bit of a struggle with some confusion at check-in but turned super nice and helpful overall. The location was exceptional for grocery stores, NRG stadium, and other necessities, but it could have been improved with a better sack lunch breakfast. The dining experiences ranged from excellent and yummy to not worth eating, offering a typical hotel breakfast. The facilities were adequate but could be upgraded for better value.
