Pros:

It had character and was set in a quiet area but close to restaurants. It had a quirky feel to it. It was exceptionally clean and the staff were wonderful and friendly. It felt a cross between a hotel and a private home. It was also easy to get into downtown

Cons:

The check in process was stressful. It was all digital so took us a while to check in on line. Also my credit card was initially declined because UK banks only allow you to tap to a certain amount. Anything above that amount you have to input a pin number. But the girl at the reception said her machine didn't have a slot to input a card and pin number. Well that seems wrong and inefficient. We did sort it out eventually.
Also our room was very small with a small bed

Agréable pour un court séjour
Pros:

L’hôtel est bien placé. Possibilité de manger à proximité (sans prendre de voiture). Le personnel est très accueillant. Beaucoup de choses à disposition afin de facilités le séjour

Cons:

Les murs son fins donc quand les voisins rentrent à 3h du matin. On entend toute leur conversation. Les chambres sont un peu petites

Pros:

Wanderstay was a central location to all I planned to explore. It was easy to find and check in. I felt safe in the area as a solo traveler, especially considering the security measures they take on the property with door codes. The shared kitchen area and lobby were always sparkling clean and so was my room. Beds were comfortable and I had all the basic amenities that I needed. Use the towel warmer!It was cool to learn that this property is Black Woman owned. Job well done.

Cons:

You are close to a train so if you all looking for silence you should consider this bit. I slept through the night just fine and they provide ear plugs and a sound machine.

The room was fine. Very small. Bed was very firm which I loved. I’m not sure if will stay again the next time I’m in tow
Pros:

It was a convenient location to my stay in Houston.

Cons:

You can hear everything. Conversations in the lobby, people talking in other rooms. Restroom vent super dirty.
