Disappointing.
I was excited about this hotel because of how beautiful the pool area looked on-line. Since I am working during the day at U of H for the week, grandma was supposed to be able to spend the day relaxing pool side with the kids. Nope. The pool is closed, cloudy, stagnant and green. 
Also, the halls are very warm, the elevator is old (the handle broke when I held it). The beds need to be replaced. It might be ok for one person, but if you are sharing, prepare to meet in the center trench all night.
The front desk is friendly and state that the pool service is working on fixing the pool and that it is usually fine. They also allowed early check in and the breakfast does the job. Another plus is the location, close to the Galleria and the moderate price.
However, you get what you pay for, and if you are counting on a nice pool, you might want to pay more else where.
