This hotel had A LOT of pros (and only a few cons), but overall, we had a wonderful stay…read more For starters, it's walking distance to several downtown hotspots. Not once did we feel uneasy (and we live in the Houston area - did a staycation for my husband's birthday). A few years ago, it would be a different story. There are a few homeless in the general area, but they aren't disruptive. We stayed in room 705, complete with a city view. It was quiet and lovely. I wish the rooms had a full-size fridge and cooking area, but for downtown, the suites are just as big as a studio apartment. There's space-themed decor throughout the hotel. I found the valet pricing to be a bit steep, and unfortunately, I have reason to believe two pairs of sunglasses were stolen from my vehicle. (I realize they should have been put in my purse immediately after use, but it slipped my mind, and out of habit, I put them in the console.) Regardless, it's frustrating. It also took 10-15 minutes for valet to pull our car around, so that's something to keep in mind. The evening reception was nice, especially with the two drinks/person/night. We had chips and queso, though they had a few other offerings. Make sure you get the card at the front desk. The front desk staff will also try to sell you on destinations for a cheap rate. I'm not sure when this became a thing, but instead of telling us about the evening reception and breakfast, they tried selling us on a stay in Chicago. I really just wanted to go to our room since I did everything on the app. We also found the breakfast to be worth every penny to stay in this hotel. I can't have gluten, and there isn't any GF bread. I had eggs, potatoes, grits, and coffee. There were cereal, fruit, yogurt, and waffle-making options as well. I appreciated the coffee bar having various syrups. The hotel was extremely accessible for those with disabilities/handicaps. We saw several people in wheelchairs or with assistance. Hearsay on the Green is inside the hotel, and the food is priced well for what you get (and it's excellent). If you DoorDash, the Dasher has to leave your food/items at the front desk. They are not permitted to go up to guest rooms. The rooftop pool and hot tub offer views of the city and Toyota Center (excellent people watching). Overall, I'd stay again (but I'd ensure I brought my cheap sunglasses and not my Maui Jims).

The regular rooms are very nice and the room with a enclosed bedroom is even nicer. Very spacious. It's nice to have a door that closes, but this room has two doors, one that takes you through the bathroom and another that takes you directly to the living room. Breakfast in the morning is great. There's a made to order omelet and eggs any way you want station. They do an excellent job. There's also a waffle maker, one is in the shape of Texas. Plus the regular assortment of bread, muffins, bagels, yogurt, fruit & etc. The oatmeal was very good. We also utilized the meeting space for a large day & half meeting, as well as a luncheon party. Both were set up and executed very well. All of the staff was phenomenal. These are the ones I was able to get their names before I left. All of them went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed. My grouo can often be a little bit high maintenance and since we travel a lot we have high expectations but everyone was fantastic. I know we'll br back next year.

The beds were comfortable, and the quiet atmosphere made it easy to relax. The complimentary made‑to‑order breakfast is a standout feature. The omelets were fresh and delicious, and the buffet offered plenty of variety. All of the staff members were consistently friendly, attentive, and eager to help. Whether it was a quick question at the front desk or a request from housekeeping, every interaction was polite and professional. There were three women in particular who were the kindest. One at the front desk and two staff member in the dining who passed out a flowers to all the mothers for Mother's Day and wished all mothers a happy Mother's Day. I hope their day went just as well as they made everyone else's. The location is ideal--close to the Energy Corridor, major highways, and plenty of dining options. Parking was easy, and the property felt safe and well maintained. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, my stay was okay, but this hotel just wasn't my cup of tea…read more The biggest issue is how extremely outdated the property is. The walls looked like they had 15+ layers of paint, and the entire building feels overdue for a renovation. The elevators were very slow and had a hard jolt when stopping. There was a note posted saying repairs were underway, which made sense. The pool area was shabby. I know it's winter, but I still would have liked to sit poolside and read a book, and it just wasn't inviting. The booths in the dining area are old and unstable, and you genuinely feel like you are falling when you sit down. In the room, the toilet would not flush properly unless I held the flapper, which was annoying. While the room was visually clean, I left a drink on the table and came back to find a roach in it, which was disappointing. Housekeeping only cleaned the room once during our three day stay. On the positive side, the water pressure and temperature were excellent, and the happy hour was a great perk with free drinks. The location is fantastic. The Galleria is about a seven minute walk and very convenient. This hotel might be a decent option for families looking for an affordable stay, but personally, I would rather pay a premium for a nicer, more updated hotel. The owners really need to put money into updating the property, because the location alone has so much potential

I am a US citizen and lives in Texas. My daughter lives in the Philippines and waiting to emigrate to join us. I have her passport and birth certificate proving I am his father. The interviewer asked me for a Power of Attorney?!?. So I asked what's the power of Attorney for? He went away from the interview window and grabbed a Power of Attorney form and answered me that since my daughter is already 8 years old and not 6 years old, she now needs to consent to me bringing her to Japan. They are asking me to have my daughter who is a minor to sign a legal document. I asked for the Supervisor, and sure enough, he stood by what the first interviewer asked me - A Power of Attorney signed by my 8-year old daughter consenting. Does this mean in Japan, parents need to furnish a Power of Attorney signed by their minor children as a proof of their consent that they are traveling with their parents. The interviewer and the supervisor of this consulate should be both FIRED!

The setup is minimalist and efficient in its own way, with soothing background music playing continuously as you wait. It's a good idea to bring a book or magazine since processing times can vary. Be aware that photography is not allowed inside, and payments are cash-only. There's a Bank of America ATM conveniently located across the street for those who need it (as always in Houston, stay alert when handling cash). The staff members are clearly focused and professional in the straightforward Vietnamese bureaucratic tradition. Communication can occasionally be a bit challenging if you don't speak Vietnamese, so patience and politeness go a long way. Keep your documents perfectly prepared--there's no public copier on-site, so handle copies beforehand. Overall, this Consulate performs its duties reliably if you come ready, stay courteous, and understand that diplomacy begins with a smile.

She is incredibly rude and condescending, which happened before my family begun speaking to her. It seemed as if she was trying to provoke my family to have an excuse to kick us out.

She doesn't seem like a good fit to be working a front-facing job greeting people seeing how unwelcoming and insanely rude (unprovoked) she was to us as first-time visitors. She angrily and loudly gave me unsolicited advice about my personal life as my back was turned and walking away. I didn't say anything to her the entire time. It was strange and unnecessary.
