Inexpensive, tired hotel
I'm normally a Hilton Honors customer, but I've had friends rave about Starwood, so I've been trying out some different Starwood properties. I needed a last minute hotel in Houston. I was stuck in traffic and saw this Sheraton on the side of the freeway. I looked it up and it had a very inexpensive rate - under $100. The staff was friendly for the most part. The restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful. The hamburger I ordered was very good. The lobby and bar area were clean and decent. I checked in around 4pm, and received a room at the end of the hall on the 3rd floor. When I stepped out of the elevator, I immediately noticed how dirty the carpets were. They were not stained from age, but had dirt and debris on the carpet that could have been vacuumed up. I thought maybe the housekeeping staff hadn't gotten around to it yet. My room was an okay size and it was clean, but the furniture was scratched and worn, carpet old from age. I believe the 3rd floor was supposed to be reserved for Starwood members, so I was a bit disappointed in the state. When I left the next morning, the carpet in the hallway was still filthy. With so many hotel choices in the Houston area, I would not choose this hotel again.
