This is pretty worn-out structure
The people running this hotel could not be nicer. Even the appearance of the room once in it is not unpleasant. The price (early November 2012) was around $85 with tax, so reasonable in my opinion. I picked it because I was familiar with the prosperity of the shopping just east of Beltway 8 and all of the Katy exits further west. But it's like everything around Wilcrest, all the way down to Westheimer, has been forgotten. It's a very old building, and kind of depressing. Every step you take you are looking at something that is scarred, torn, cracked, or run-down. It's just a little part of Houston that is not for those wanting that new and safe feeling.
