Last long term stay
I just returned from home from a two week stay at the Brookhollow Courtyard. For the last 5 years I have stayed at this hotel - same month, same duration. In the past, I stayed here because of the location, the guest population of mostly business travelers, the cleanliness of the facility and the general feeling of convenience and security. This time however, was completely different. First, I wish I had known the area outside the hotel was a construction zone. The night I checked in was late and rainy and I had a terrible time finding the driveway and when I did, I had real worries about getting stuck in the mud. Second, the hotel itself is looking shabby. The sheets are thread bare, the heater/air conditioner is so noisy I couldn't sleep, the shower curtians were mildewy and the hallways smell funny. There were many other things that just screamed "old and worn out"
The third thing is hard to define. In the past the other guests looked like a group of ordinary business people. This time the mix seems to be changing and not in a good way. A couple of times someone who was obviously drunk pounded on my door in the middle of the night. Frankly, some of the other guests gave me the creeps and destroyed my sense of security. 
I will be making several trips to Houston again this year, but will not be staying at this hotel. 
On the positive side - the staff were very responsive to all my needs.
