A very pleasant stay with exceptional staff and service
Pros:

Great stay with excellent service! A special thank you to Day Day at breakfast. She was amazing, always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Her great attitude made our mornings even better! The Hotel Manager was also very attentive and helpful with anything we needed, and room service was excellent.

Cons:

The only downside is that the hotel is not very well connected to other areas, and there are limited dining options nearby.

If ever in Alvin again, I would definitely stay at this hotel!
Pros:

Breakfast was great. The staff was great....very helpful and friendly. The total staff of this hotel was outstanding. I was here on October 9 and left on October 11. The staff working on those days get my highest praise.

Cons:

I was in a handicap room. The toilet should have been taller for handicapped people. A person who has problems with their legs would not be able to get up from the toilet. Also, whose idea was it to have a shower head installed 7 feet high? At least have an attachable hose with a shower head so a handicapped person could use it. A bench or seat would be a safety factor for someone with weak legs. Had it not been for the bathroom I would have scored my stay a 95!

Bad
Pros:

When I go to check in I notice the place is under construction. Not hire a general contractor that hire trades to do various scopes construction. But the owner hires random people to remodel his hotel. The website did not state there was any construction. When I was checking in I was informed the pool was closed, I told the manager the website did not state that it was closed. She said if you click on the pool under the amenities it will show closed. I said who does that? Then I said I’ll just hit the gym, Nope it was closed as well. I stated that wasn’t on the app either. She agreed. When I got to the room, the drawers would not stay shut. I checked in and dealt with the construction. I noticed day 2 my counters restroom and coffee area had not been wiped off. I put baking soda in my bottled water and both places had baking soda on the counters after house keeping. Next, the floors had not been vacuumed since who knows when there were plastic pieces from new clothes tags on the floor in 2 locations. Yesterday I got a call from the hotel asking if they could do something in the room it will only be 29 minutes. I said that’s fine. I got back to my room around 5 my door was open and my blinds were gone. They never replaced them. Came back today noticed from the parking lot the blind was still not replaced. I went to front desk told them my beef told them I was checking out and would not be charged for the day. I proceeded to the room to gather my things and house keeping skipped my room they were gone for the day…. Horrible experience at Holiday Inn Express Alvin Texas.
