Eddie S.

I have been coming to this consulate office for several years, since I've lived in Houston actually. A few of the ladies that have helped me in the past are now retired but replaced with just as helpful people. The office is a very small cubical space, super tiny! Over the years they have remodeled the small space and added seating and an additional interaction booth (total of 4 now) for assistance. I do not see the purpose of the additional booth when they only use one or two of them. First things first; an appointment is required. Zero exceptions. The appointments are made online at: http://www.exteriores.gob.es/Consulados/HOUSTON/en/Consulado/Pages/inicio.aspx Now, it is CRUCIAL! And I cannot stress this enough, it is crucial that you come prepared because if you don't have all the necessary documents for whatever your visit is for you will not be seen and have to come back. And that would really suck if you're from out of town. They do not take credit or debit cards so bring EXACT amount cash for your passports ($28), visas, etc. In the United States there are a total of (9) Consulate offices of Spain: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Boston, New York, Miami, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. So yes, come prepared if you flew in from a different state or city just to come here. This office does not really take phone calls, good luck trying to reach a person by phone. The automated system is difficult to bypass. Once you are here for your appointment there is zero instruction on what to do for example; Do I sign-in anywhere? Do I just sit down and wait for my name to be called? I stood in line and people were walking up to the booth from multiple directions. Very frustrating if you ask me. I finally just went up to a booth and told the person there that I have an appointment for right this very minute. She ended up helping me on the spot but I think the only reason she did it was because she could tell I had a frustrated look on my face (Resting Bitch Face) and we had been making eye-contact for about 25 minutes with zero acknowledgement. I give the office a three-star rating only because they are kind. Other than that, there needs to be a better structure or clear process on what you do once you arrive.

Great location, located right downtown Houston next to the Toyota Center and the Houston convention…read morecenter. Within walking distance from many great local restaurants the hotel also offers an evening reception with a light bite and free drinks. major draw for the property is its all-suite layout. Also as a plus, the rooms are suite style. Each suite is large, featuring a private bedroom, a separate living area with a sofa bed, a microwave, and a mini-fridge.

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).

This hotel has a perfect balance between comfort, convenience, and excellent hospitality…read more The rooms are spacious, with the separate living area being a huge plus. 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.

I recently visited the Embassy Suites by Hilton Houston Energy Corridor for a 50th wedding…read moreanniversary celebration. Yesterday was my first time visiting an Embassy Suites property though I'm quite familiar with the upscale lodging brand. Given its amazing exterior, I knew the inside was going to be as close to stunning. Sure enough, my expectations about Embassy Suites were met. Finding a spot in its adjacent parking garage, which it shares with a few office buildings, wasn't difficult. When we entered the hotel, a gentlemanly employee held the door for our group. Everything appears to be modern, spacious and well kept. Those three adjectives even apply to the restroom. The hotel did exceptional when it comes to the food the guests and I consumed. We tided ourselves over during the supposed cocktail hour with a decent setup that included pita chips, bread, hummus and fruit. Dinner was worth the wait as we were treated to a delicious buffet consisting of spinach salad, stir fried peas and carrots, rice, teriyaki glazed mahi mahi, grilled pineapple chicken and sweet and sour pork cutlet. There was vanilla ice cream and cheesecake for dessert in addition to a coffee and tea station. Before I left, I went downstairs to check out the onsite bar, which had the A&M-LSU game on. I didn't order anything, but I noticed it was quite the place for people to gather at. The rating is four stars because I can't really opine on the experience of staying here, but I assume that those from out of town with business to conduct in the Energy Corridor or surrounding areas have this Embassy Suites on their list of places to hit the hay at.

I stayed here for 3 nights. First time at this hotel. I was pleased with the room however I was NOT…read morepleased with the cleanliness of my room and the service. Room: Premium King Suite. It was spacious and nice. The bathroom however was unclean. The shower was clogged and did not drain. Front desk sent maintenance to fix it. When maintenance fixed the issue he left clogs of hair in the shower and other disgusting dirt. I called front desk again and housekeeping was sent to clean the entire bathroom. Snack tray: This is given only for premium suite. It is suppose to be replenished daily. Mine was not for 2 of the nights. I called the front desk about it the first time I didn't get my tray and I was told someone would be sent. No one came. The next day I informed front desk again and someone came the next day which was my check out date. Spending the amount I paid for this room I expected top notch cleanliness and for my tray to be replenished. Breakfast: Good hot breakfast and there is a section of selection you can choose that is made to order. No complaints there. Happy hour: Enjoyed happy hour. There is a selection of free drinks during happy hour for hotel guests.

Anything positive about this property is nullified by the fact that my room was next to the staff…read morelaundry which was in use during the middle of the night. The amount of noise-slamming, banging and talking-made it impossible to sleep. On checkout got a meek 'sorry' and no other offer to fix this during my stay.

Get rid of rude and disrespectful workers in this consulate who tell applicants pure garbage…read more We went to this consulate to apply for my 8-year old Philippine citizen daughter. 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!

Updated June 5, 2026…read more Came in Tuesday 3:00pm and was seated last in a long line of chairs. Apparently a very busy afternoon but I barely made it in to reception by 4pm. Receptionist reviewed my forms then said copy of passport was needed! Lesson learned: have extra copy of passport or documents just in case. Returned on a Friday 2:30pm. Surprisingly no line, receptionist promptly waved me to come in. Reviewed my forms then offered to process visa exemption while I wait outside. I took the offer, went back outside to waiting room. 20 minutes later, heard my name called to go back in and take the passport with the 5 year exemption sticker. Lesson learned: come in early right after 2pm and perhaps go on a Friday for potential short line.

I had to go to the Consulate three times to get my visa exemption renewed. Prepare to wait because…read morethey only take one person at a time. The security guard could be nicer, but he's doing his job. The first time I arrived on a Thursday at 11 am, and the waiting room was full. The security guard told me it was closed. Okay then... I come back later that afternoon at 2 pm, and it was only me and another person. I brought the 'Application Form for Issuance/ Reissuance of a Visa Exemption Certificate' completed by hand. Turns out, you need to fill it out online and print it out. A barcode should appear at the top right corner when it is processed. Please do NOT fill it out by hand! Use the link on #3 to access the document (photo attached). You will also need to bring a photocopy of your passport, expired visa exemption, and expired passport if the old visa is associated with it. It should only cost $10 if you can wait 10 days to pick it up. To add insult to injury, it costs to park in the garage for over 20 minutes. I come back the next day, Friday at 2 pm. Lots more people this time. No phones allowed so you have to sit and stare at the wall. It takes me about 1 hour to get to the desk. Smooth and quick process since I had everything required.
