This is not a typical hotel—it's a mixed-use building that includes apartments, hotel rooms, and shared office space. I think this should be disclosed more clearly before booking. That said, the building itself is very nice, modern, and exceptionally clean. The room was beautiful, and the city views were outstanding. Waking up to the morning sunrise over the skyline was a real highlight of the stay.

One thing to keep in mind is that there aren't many places within easy walking distance, so you'll likely need a car or rideshare to get to most restaurants, shops, and attractions. Overall, it's a great property with excellent accommodations and views, but guests should be aware of the building's mixed-use nature and somewhat isolated location before booking.

This was a strange place. Unlike the way it was advertised, it is primarily an apartment building, not a hotel. Staffing was sparse and there was no place in the building to get something to eat or buy necessities. We were given a fully stocked studio apartment even though we booked a room. Maid service was only available during our 4 day stay for an additional $150 fee.

The hotel was clean, but it was not explained that this was more of an actual living quarters than a hotel. There was no main service there was no one to bring you fresh towels or washcloths or even to take out your trash or come in to make your bed even at your request. I even threw my sheets outside my door on the third out of four nights and they took them but never brought clean ones back. I even went downstairs and requested new bedsheets I was told they would be up right away, and I stayed another night without sheets on my bed sleeping on top of the comforter.

With Street construction and no parking around the building finding the place and parking for check-in was miserable. This is actually a fairly modern apartment building that is renting out some of its units. I was surprised that the walls between the apartments was as thin as some of the cheapest motels I've stayed at. The noise from the neighbors at times was unbearable.

The check in process was not so great. We arrived at about 3:30 pm. There is no signage instructing you were to park. I waiting in the car on the street while my wife went to check in. There was no one at the front desk for a long time before she found someone in an office and asked where to park. We parked and went and checked in - all went pretty smoothly once we found someone to check us in. The place is very nice. However, when we got to the room , we noticed that the tv remote would work. We called and a hostess came up and after a while got it working. It worked just long enough to get logged into our Prime Video and U-tube TV accounts, then it quit working. The next morning when I went to take a shower just before check out time, there was no soap in the dispenser. We couldn't get the remote to work again so that we could sign out of our accounts for Prime Video and U-tube TV. Another hosts came up and brought a second remote but couldn't get either to work. We waited around for about 30 minutes but apparently the TV was working (not the remotes). We finally checked out and left. It seems like this new place doesn't have all of its procedures down. The elevators are quite different. We couldn't figure out how to get into the locked gate of the pool (keypad, so your room card didn't work). It would be nice to have instructions written down and left in the room about how the elevator works, how to get into the pool area, etc.

The property is clean, new, and in a great location within the museum district. The amenities are as described. What needs improvement is the shower area- there is no place to put your toiletries, except the shower floor. The other negative is that there was a pool/ salsa party going from 3-9, so the noise level was insane. I had a migraine and trying to nap was impossible. Had I known at check-in, I would have requested a higher floor. Also, the process for late check out is silly. You should be able to request the night before, not the morning of. It defeats the purpose. Other than a couple of minor inconveniences, a nice stay.

This was a beautiful apartment complex , quiet and clean. The only disappointing part was that I stayed here on the weekend. I specifically stayed here for the pool and I was told at check in the pool was closed for the weekend. This was not posted or made aware of before or after booking. I had to purchase a day pass at another location. Could not connect to the wI-fi and my TV did not work properly so I couldn’t even watch tv either. If you book here I would call before your stay to make sure there will be full access for everything stated in purchasing price. I did not get any type of refund

The Property was under renovations but the project was well managed and did not detract from the visitor experience. The property is located a very short walking distance from the Museum district as well as some very nice dining locations. The room had a fully appointed kitchen and washer and dryer - how cool was that. If your planning a museums outting, this is the place to stay!!!! You can literally save yourself a good amount of time and money on parking by simply wallking.

We will definitely be staying here for future visits.

New property was only open a month when I stayed. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Great location in a nice quiet walkable neighborhood. Room was clean but a little more attention to detail would be great. I sanitize wherever I stay so I probably notice little things while doing so. Parking was a breeze. Will be booking there again in a couple months and will for sure check out the amenities pool/fitness center next time around.

Our biggest issues were communication and there was a power shut off plan that we did not know about which affected us on a Saturday morning while we were trying to get ready to go out for the day. Also their internet went out for majority of a day. We had asked for towels and it took half a day or more to get it. Communication at times is very good but other times their app there was not good communication. It is a beautiful hotel and residence. Amenities appear to be superb. Staff does try. They did communicate via texting very well. I express my concerns about our stay and what was frustrating they said they were understanding but if we would have known that there was a power outage planned we would not have stayed there

This property was clean and new. However there were only 2 towels in each guest room and no towels at the pool because they are a “residence”. However for my husband and I, our only 2 shower towels had to be taken to the pool and were wet for later use, this was a problem. Also there was a “scheduled” power outage in Houston from 7-9am that we were not
Told about until AFTER we checked in. The outage lasted more like 3 hours during which time guest rooms had NO power (no generator) and there was NO hot water. Didn’t see anyone else in Houston down so not sure how accurate this was.

The check in was awesome. We got there a little early and were able to find the front easily due to the addition info provided. It made finding everything super simple. We were greeted by David and Tiffany. They were so sweet and helpful. Tiffany definitely went above and beyond helping us and showing us around and how everything worked. She definitely loves what she does and that was our first impression of the whole place. We got up to the room and it was clean and had everything we’d need for our stay. The view was amazing. The pool was clean and quiet. We will definitely be back and booked again for our next staycation. Highly recommend.

Property has only been open three weeks. The exercise and pool area with a bar was only what you would find in a grand resort with windows all around looking over the city of Houston. For now parking was free. The room was an efficiency apartment fully equipped even including a washer and dryer. It is very close to the medical center including MD Anderson. We will definitely stay here again. We highly recommend Lucille’s restaurant right across from the parking lot entrance as well as Granger’s restaurant about one block over. Both restaurants have become our favorites when we come to Houston.

It will be a stunning hotel.. eventually. It is still basically a construction site. Construction workers all over the place & construction dust everywhere. We got stuck in the elevator because they turned the electric off.. when we said something to the
front desk, they said \"oh, yeah the construction guys had to turn off the power for a little bit\". If you're booking 6-8 months since this post, then I'm sure your stay will be beautiful. If it's before that, I would bring a hard hat.

No es propiamente un hotel. Es mas un tipo AirBnB, un departamenteo que tiene todo, tiene estufa, microondas, centro de lavado, un comedor pequeñito, etc. La verdad es que esta bien, sin embargo no tiene servicios de hotel como tal, no tiene restaurante, el servicio de cambio de sabanas y aseo tiene costo adicional y nada barato, etc. La propiedad esta bien para ejecutivos que se quedan varios dias, mas no lo recomentaria tanto para familias con niños.
