The room was spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel bar was welcoming and the bartender great.
Parking was difficult to figure out if you didn't want to do the valet parking.

Never stay here. It was the worst hotel I ever stayed at in my life.
I didn't like anything. Terrible stay.
Homeless people everywhere and it was dangerous just getting your luggage out of vehicle. Your view outside your window from hotel was homeless people.

Do Not chose this hotel

the hotel is not clean, it smells strongly. we all ended up with a backache due to the beds conditions. We did not have hot water in the room, which the hotel staff which advised they will send maintenance, but no one arrived to even take a look. The coffee machine in the room sprayed all over, when asked to replace it we got a machine that did not work at all and it was also replaced with another machine that did not work. Funny enough to get a replacement machine to begin with, we had to carry it personally to the reception. as for the parking, the hotel only offers Valet parking and there is no self parking option. The location is problematic as well!!! be careful !!! the hotel is surrounded by homeless. as it the entire neighborhood was of homeless people

In summary, we loved the hotel and it’s location. The day time bartender was awesome. He was very helpful and even assi
beautiful hotel
The evening bartender wasn’t attentive. Also, we had to wait 30 minutes before the restaurant could service us because it was between breakfast and lunch time (11:00 AM - 11:30 AM). We had arrived to the restaurant at 11:05 AM.

Although I live in the area and only stayed one night, I look forward to coming back.
Everyone was polite and helpful, and the hotel itself felt quaint and tucked away downtown.

i will never EVER stay here again.
breakfast was not included at all and the front desk person was argumentative about a confirmed reservation that i had blatantly showed her on my phone. charged me the same as my online reservation within none of the percs that came with the online booking.

I would not stay here again.
Bathroom was nice.
Property is located next to a homeless shelter. I did not feel our family was safe in this area. Hotel rooms were very small. No mini fridge. It was a 12 min walk to Minute Maid. again, did not feel safe enough to walk. Found an old eyelash curler on the floor from the last person. soap dish was dirty. Mirror was cracked and dirty

Great location, great view, great staff!
I loved that the property was at the head of downtown. it was walking distance to a lot of great restaurants. I also loved the valet service it was worth the price. The people who worked the front desk were some of the best I have ever met and the bartender was also great! We always ended our night at the bar and the drinks as well as the conversation were wonderful.
I wish I had a better view of the city because our room was on the 4th floor and blocked by a tree but other than that it was great!

Serviceable Hotel, Awkward Location, Boutique Price
Mattress was relatively new. Pillows were firm and plentiful. There were plenty of outlets and USB plugs in the room.
The courthouse district is barren and nothing is walkable — especially when the temps reach into the high nineties. This becomes especially challenging when you’re dealing with valet parking only. Without a self park option, you’re forced to use rideshares unless you’re willing to eat in the barely adequate hotel restaurant. The property is a bit long in the tooth in spite of numerous cosmetic upgrades. And the hot water was barely hot while the cold water was barely cold.

The room and area which was downtown
The noise from the surrounding night clubs and or restaurant didn’t get to enjoy the rest inside the room because we were right next a very loud spot. And the parking was horrible off street not good for guest that travel by car but have no where to park unless they pay for valet which in your location valet should be free for the guess. Or at least have a parking garage for your guess.

Lovely.
The incredibly friendly and accommodating staff! The decor. The bar scene ( Honey is the best). The neighborhood. Easy to park ( not included).
