Decent, maybe not totally worth what I spent though.
Pros:

Very unique style! Very refreshing property to walk into.

Cons:

Stains on bed box and on towels. Also noises throughout the night of random thudding.

Cons:

The blanket and towels were super thin! Couldn’t really sleep at night because it felt like the blanket was literally just a piece of bedsheet…It was so thin and uncomfortable

Fair place to stay for stadium events.
Pros:

The location to the stadium was excellent. Beds were comfortable.

Cons:

Stairs in lobby and hall were dirty. Had to ask for towels and wash rags and provide the dirty ones to get the new ones. No bartender so bar is closed. The one night it was open very limited on selection of mixers. Seemed to run out of things like plain creamer and milk at the breakfast bar.

Pros:

The staff was friendly.

Cons:

The hotel is old and needs to be refreshed. The furniture looks like a thrift shop warehouse. Once the initial breakfast was served, they did not refresh. The little refrigerator is cheap Amazon. The tv remote did not work.

Convenient and clean.
Pros:

The hotel was clean and the location was walking distance from the NRG. Just cutting through the parking lots you are at their back door. The hotel was very quiet so sleeping was good.

Cons:

The mattress was sagging on one side of the bed. Don’t know what was up maybe needs to be flipped. There was not a coffee machine in the room but coffee was in the lobby. There was a place to drape your clothes but no hangers. The temp of the room is good and you have controls right there. There are no lamps at all just overhead lights. The furniture is like something you would see at a secondhand store. It was only for one night to go to the NRG so it was ok and clean.

Overall, very pleasant stay. Everything was close by and the staff was friendly. Improvement on the cooked breakfast and
Pros:

The location. It’s close to everything and the rooms were clean!

Cons:

The breakfast. Leftover sausages extremely hard and obviously reheated, when the eggs ran out no more were made.

They have a bar when visible drinks but no one to operate it so it’s basically there for nothing. Would be nice if it was in operation.
