Very close to Toyota center, bed comfortable,staff friendly, I would stay again if it weren't for the room smelling like it had been heavily urinated in. Couldn't handle the smell checked out early. Looks like they are remodeling so hopefully with new carpet the smell will go away.

This was a great location for our event at the George R Brown Convention Center. An easy one block walk. Nice full breakfast provided and there were fresh snacks provided in the lounge area in the late afternoon. The front desk staff were polite and helpful

I made a reservation for 7 nights through the hotel for a convention. The reservation was modifiable. As the date for my trip got closer, I called the hotel to change the reservation - I wanted to reduce my stay by one night. After 30 minutes on the telephone, I was told that I could not reduce my stay by one night, and they could not explain why. Then I received an e-mail from the hotel telling me there was a minimum stay. I asked what the minimum stay is and why wasn't I advised of the minimum stay at check-in and NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. I followed up with a phone call and was told only the general manager could answer this question. I asked to speak to him, was told he was unavailable, and NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. A week later, I followed up with an e-mail asking what the minimum stay is and why wasn't I advised of this at check-in. Two days later, I STILL DO NOT HAVE A RESPONSE. I find it impossible to believe that there is a minimum stay of 7 nights. But I am not being permitted to simply change my reservation from 7 nights to 6 nights.

As i checked in, there was a lady wandering around reception babbling and talking to herself, no shoes, dirty feet. I went out for an hour, when i got back, she was asleep on the pathway outside, told reception. When i got back from a meeting, i was settling down in my room, when my door started rattling, someone was trying to break in, i charged out, hoping to take them by surprise, it was that woman again, she had made her way to the fourth floor. I called reception, who then called the police, she went berserk, taking on two of the biggest policemen i have ever seen, they subdued her, very carefully and took her away. The point i am making is that it appears anyone can wander around this hotel unchallenged, there is no security, i felt unsafe, couldn't sleep, even though i moved rooms. I would never stay here, or any Holiday Inn Express again.

I’ve stayed at this hotel twice this year, & both times were incredibly disappointing! Most of the front desk staff seemed bothered by the guests’ presence, the the hotel is in major need of an overhaul; there are tons of obvious issues that need to be fixed. The first time we stayed, the bathroom was awful. There were holes in the shower wall above the knob, the spigot had been caulked (VERY POORLY) multiple times, & the shower head didn’t even work well. Also, the WiFI was completely non-functional (none in my party could get it to work). I asked at the front desk, & they just shrugged & said it should work. I wasn’t impressed at all, but I decided to stay there again because of the location. Well, that was a mistake! The second time, I had a room overlooking a parking lot, & there is a nightclub that has BOOMING bass until 1:30 in the morning. I could not sleep at all. Also, there was obvious mildew by the ceiling in the bathroom. The lone bright spot was one front desk worker named Ines. I asked about the graffiti building (a tourist attraction in close proximity to the hotel). Ines showed my the location on the map, but also walked me out the back door & pointed me toward it, explaining how to walk there. She was so friendly and went above & beyond to make sure I didn’t get lost. Despite the great location (steps from the convention center & Toyota Center, also not far from Minute Maid Park), I would not stay here again!

We always try and stay at IHG properties, particularly Holiday Inn Expresses. This one is not up to par with all the others we are accustomed to staying at. The hotel room and hallways are all in dire need of a major renovation. There seemed to be an issue with mildew, as our room had that smell to it and you could tell there was a moisture issue. However, the complimentary breakfast was excellent! This was one of the few positives we came away with on our stay at this hotel.

Run as far away from this hotel as you can! Upon check in the one girl that was just sitting at the front desk doing nothing told the other girl that was working on something else that she would have to check me in because she was not going to do it. You are given COMPLIMENTARY EAR PLUGS at check in because the club across the parking lot is so loud. We go to our room and either the sewage is backed up in it or there was a dead body under the bed, we were gagging as we walked in. My wife and I decided to get out of the room some fresh air and some coffee, only to come back and find our rental car hit in the parking lot with the car that did it sitting in the space next to us. We asked the Front Desk if they could look at the cameras or tell us who the driver of the car was and they said they would not help us. We ended having to call the police for them to get the driver to come out of the hotel. We told the front desk we had enough and could not stay here and they said to contact Expedia if we expect our money back. Needless to say we spent the night at a much nicer hotel where we could breathe, hear each other and felt safe!

What a mistake!! This hotel is apparently 2 blocks from a night club where the bass music can be heard in the rooms. As I write this review at 1:30am, unable to sleep, I’m regretting every bit of staying here. Not to mention the musty smell in the room. The front desk did apologize and offered ear plugs. I already have ear plugs in and they do not drown out the bass thump of the music.

My friend and I were going to the Elton John concert at the Toyota Center in Houston on January 21, 2022. I don’t live in Houston I just tried to book a hotel near the concert venue. How wonderful surprised I was that it was literally right across the street from the Toyota Center , all we had to do was walk across the parking lot to get there. Perfect location very clean hotel clean room comfortable beds and breakfast was decent. they had a lovely selection of yogurts, milk cereals pastries and an automatic pancake machine. All in all if you’re going to be doing something near the Toyota Center I would suggest this hotel hands down.
