Don't stay here until the remodel is complete.
Pros:

Room had been remodeled, it was nice. However, the soap dispenser in shower was broken. Simple fix. Housekeeping should have reported it.

Cons:

The lobby and elevators are being renovated and it was a mess. I was hoping to use the cute lobby bar on the photos online. It was closed. Call ahead. If still being remodeled, stay somewhere else.

My stay was not the way I planned it.
Pros:

The hotel restaurant and business center was not accessible due to remodeling, and I was not told that before I drove to Houston. I had planned to eat at the hotel and catch up on work.

Nice hotel , once refurbished completely will make it a nicer experience alround
Pros:

Clean hotel
Staff were friendly and courteous throughout our stay

Cons:

Unfortunately they are going through a restaurant/bar refurb so that slightly detracted from the stay
Location was ok but (not the hotels issue) but lots of homeless people around and it made it feel a bit uncomfortable walking around the local area

Pros:

The hotel is amazing, the staff is amazing. Unfortunately on the first morning of our stay there was an emergency and they shut the water off…. We were in the middle of getting ready, finished up by using water bottles. The water did not come back on until 5 pm. We couldn’t use toilet or showers. Now this is no fault of hotel! The property is amazing 100% would stay again. Very close to ball park and highly recommend Morton’s steakhouse!!!!

Pros:

The on-site restaurant was under construction, which was a little disappointing. Other than that, I would highly recommend staying at the Sam’s Hotel.

Pros:

Lovely spacey hotel rooms but Expedia really needs to add information about the bar and restaurant being closed. This was the one of the main reasons we booked this hotel.
