"We love this hotel. Over 12 years, we've stayed here over a dozen times. It's a fun place with funky decor. Having a coffee bar on each floor is wonderful.2019-06-20"
"I've stayed at this hotel at least 15 times in the last 11 years, and it never fails to disappoint me. It's luxurious and never boring, and the staff is friendly. On our last visit, the bellman asked what the occasion was for our trip; we replied that we were celebrating our birthdays. A few minutes later, we received a bottle of wine. Be sure to visit the morning coffee bar in your bathrobe.2018-08-17"
"The hotel was convenient to the Metro train, so we left our car in valet parking and used the train to go downtown and to NPG Center. Some great museums were nearby, too.2018-03-24"
"I was satisfied with this hotel. It was clean, the employees were polite, and I loved the morning coffee pantry on every floor. Valet parking only, though. Great place to stay.2017-03-10"
"As always, this hotel is a delightful place to stay. It's close to everything, and there's a shuttle to most places inside the 610 loop. The employees were attentive and helpful. There's always something going on, so it can be a little noisy, but if you have a room away from the elevator, you'll miss most of the activity. There's a coffee bar on every floor.2016-04-19"
"Close to the medical center. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. It took us a minute to figure out the elevator, but a quick tutorial from another guest did the trick. Check-in and checkout were efficient and pleasant. We ate in the restaurant; it was convenient, and the food was good, and we enjoyed a drink at the bar. The server was friendly and remained calm when it was busy. I'd stay here again.2021-07-01"
"Great location. The hotel and employees were lovely. The heating and cooling systems in both our rooms roared and hummed with a resonating frequency that kept us awake. We turned off the AC and enjoyed the extraordinarily comfortable beds. Breakfast was fantastic.2021-05-10"
"I wasn't impressed with this hotel. Don't stay here if you're allergic to dogs.2021-02-20"
"There was a wedding party on the patio right in front of my room window, and loud music played until 11 PM. I wasn't warned that this would be going on. Other than that, the hotel was nice. There was some renovation work underway in the lobby, but it wasn't overly messy or inconvenient.2020-03-02"
"I was pleased with my stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel clerks were friendly and helpful. You won't be disappointed.2018-09-12"
"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel, and we'll definitely stay again. It's comfortable, clean, and close to MD Anderson. There's a free hot breakfast and a shuttle to the medical complex.2021-11-20"
"The room color scheme was drab and dreary. The bed was way too soft and sagged in the middle. I changed rooms, but the bed was the same. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast was good. Excellent shuttle service. Stay somewhere else.2021-10-29"
"Perfect location. The hotel room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Good breakfast.2021-10-21"

"The hotel was close to the VA regional medical center.2020-12-20"
"Good room. The people in the next room were so loud that I didn't sleep well. No free bottled water provided. The hotel clerk didn't seem happy that we were there. The restaurant wasn't open because of Covid, but a to-go breakfast was available for purchase.2020-11-01"
"The hotel was clean and close to the hospital. Nice personnel. I had a pleasant stay.2020-10-07"
"The hotel was close to the medical center, and there was a shuttle to and from 4 different locations. The staff was exceptionally kind during the Covid-19 outbreak, and everything appeared clean and sanitized. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful, and so was the shuttle driver. I highly recommend staying here.2020-03-28"
"Not a bad hotel, but the room was small and hot, even though the thermostat was turned down as low as it would go. Good service.2020-02-26"

"The hotel AC wasn't working well for 2 days of my stay, which was a major convenience. When I asked the staff about it, they didn't seem concerned. The room was nice and well-furnished. Decent shuttle service. Limited menu at the restaurant, but the food and wait staff were good.2019-03-17"
"Close to Methodist Hospital. I felt safe at this hotel, and the employees were friendly. I liked that the pool area was locked and it took a room key to enter.2017-08-22"

"Close to everything you'd want to see. Good rates. Nice, clean hotel with helpful employees. The shuttle to MD Anderson was a lifesaver, and the free breakfast buffet was appreciated. I had an awesome stay.2016-11-24"
"The hotel was close to supermarkets and restaurants. There were some mechanical issues, but the amenities were nice and the staff was friendly. Decent breakfast. Use the kitchen in your room and the outdoor BBQ.2020-02-11"
"The hotel was dog friendly, and the room was large, comfortable, and clean. The staff was accommodating and let us stay in the same room when we had to extend our stay. Good breakfast and easy parking. We used the shuttle to get to the hospital with no problem, but never got picked up because the driver couldn't find us, even though we gave him the address and stood out by the road waiting. Still, I highly recommend staying here.2019-07-28"
"Good location. Nice, clean hotel with decent rates. The room was clean, and the staff was super friendly. Our TV was stuck on one channel, but maintenance came right away and fixed it. Our only complaint was that the whirlpool was out of order, even though we'd called ahead and were told it was working. Book it.2021-11-01"
"The hotel met my expectations. It was convenient to downtown, medical centers, restaurants, and the museum district.2018-09-23"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
