Stay here only if forced
We were stranded by Continental airlines in Houston. Stayed here since it was in the airport but we were not offered any price breaks or vouchers by our airline nor was any offered at check in. $300 per night is reasonable in a resort area and maybe for a luxury hotel in the downtown area, but this is not exactly in the best location for seeing the city. In fact, they have no concierge at this hotel, nor did they have any city guides. Thankfully, the bellman offered to take us shopping(NOT what we were looking for) and quickly told us that we were a long way from any museums or other entertainment venues in the city. The structure of the building is very comical...modular fiberglass rooms set in a circular pattern with long hallways like spokes from a wheel intersecting the circles. Fire exits are not clearly marked nor is there a great directory of how to find your way around in the hotel. Stairways are also only marked by small signs on the doors , and elevators are a long way from the rooms. The room was comfortable but plain for the price...bed was poor sagging and not even mid-range quality. Breakfast was good and the complimentary snacks were ample but drinks were costly.
