Great stay ither than the loud music and outrageous breakfast price

Great hotel but didn't know there was so much activity and loud music right outside our room otherwise I would have requested a different location

Breakfast was $27.50. Come on, it wasn't that great and I'd never pay that amount for a breakfast like that

This was a wonderful experience.

The aesthetic is marvelous. I love the cleanliness. The smell is divine. I forgot to ask what the scent is named. The staff at check in and check out were amazing. Both young ladies at the front desk brought such sincere warm to our visit.

I loved everything.

Great stay for one night

Very comfortable and well kept. Loved the architecture. The vault door added a great touch to the history of the building.

No self parking. $52 for overnight parking is a detriment to stay for a long period.

Wonderful architecture, design, ambience and service.

Great style, design, preservation of the historical aspect of the hotel. Not pristine, but fun and absolutely clean. Lots of attention to detail. We loved the consistently great staff, the 24 hour hot chocolate in the lobby during a cold, rainy weekend, the work out room.

Exceptional

The architecture and decor.

The cost of valet parking. $52.00/day. Checkout is at 12pm but the cleaning staff attempted two times to enter my room before 12pm to clean my room. I think the staff should wait until they have confirmation that guests have checked out before attempting to enter the room to clean or wait until official checkout time.

It was a nice hotel for a short stay

Clean, spacious rooms & friendly staff

Only 50$ valet parking available, if not then you must find a parking garage and walk with your bags.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the history of the hotel! Check in staff was great!

Bar was busy when we were there, therefore, not as timely or clean. But the bar tender was lovely. Breakfast was ok - for the quality the price was a bit high. Server not attentive w/coffee and tea service throughout. Everybody was nice though. Would have been better if we could fill our own coffee and tea.

Attentiveness of waitstaff in bar and restaurant.

Nice one night stay in Houston in a convenient location.

Location was good to access various activities. Breakfast was nice. Able to leave bags at the hotel and collect fora flight later in the day also great that the hotel will alert when a taxi is required.

Cannot think of anything to suggest.

Beautifully kept building for a great overnight trip.

Hotel icon is gorgeous, the rooms are exactly what you see in the pictures. The details are truly gorgeous. The first issue we ran across consisted of our room facing a very lively night club (which honestly I should have done my home work) that carried noise into our 4th floor room until about 3 am. My husband and I did enjoy the walking distance of several bars and restaurants, so maybe the noise wasn’t a huge price to pay, but annoying nonetheless. The second issue consisted of the night time staff. I had no clue where to retrieve ice from, so when we arrived back from a concert I asked the front desk to deliver some. I waited and waited, which was fine, so I called to confirm what I had asked for. I then was hung up on three times, mid sentence about said ice. I then got back on the phone with someone and the ice was delivered after I explained the hostility of my calls being disconnected. So word to the wise, don’t order ice at night. All in all, the hotel was good, I’m not going to let two incidents deter me from returning. To end our stay, the breakfast buffet was absolutely fabulous. Thank you to the day time crew and valet for being absolute angels!

The perfect stay

We were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary, and the woman who checked us in gave us complimentary breakfast for the whole stay that was really nice of her. We were always greeted with smiles from the staff, and everyone was really kind. Valet always made you feel special

Pleasant stay.

I was pleased with the breakfast offerings. The hotel has a charming, albeit slightly dated, decor and is conveniently located near a bustling street filled with attractions. I liked the view of my room.

The decoration and facilities of hotel are a little bit old. The in-room service was lacking; during our stay, they only changed the towels and replenished the toilet paper without cleaning the room.

It was an enjoyable and memorable birthday for me with my wife.

Clean and quaint. I like older city buildings refurbished into classic hotels.

Parking was a bit pricey but it was better then parking on the street I guess.

Anniversary trip

It’s very clean, everyone is so friendly. I love the history behind the place. The room was comfortable.

I did not know that the only parking option was valet and it was $50 a day. The site said there was a parking garage. Definitely not true. Our room was across the street from a bar so the music was very loud until 2am every night.
