do not stay here!!! Air conditioner barely works. Shower is awful. Disgusting actually. Very sketchy neighborhood, so I slept with lights and t.v. on just so it looked like I was awake, which I actually was because I was afraid. Upon checkout, I needed just one little extra hour because I was waiting on my car to get out of the shop which is the whole reason I was in Houston and was told \"check out is at 11, no excuses.\" Are you kidding me? And housekeeping hadn't even arrived for their shift. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE on top of all the above. DO NOT STAY HERE, ESP. IF YOU HAVE KIDS!!! OR ARE A FEMALE TRAVELING ALONE.

A cheap motel that is in disrepair that makes you feel grubby and relieved to leave. The owner/ manager had no record of my reservation and it was very hard to talk to him through a glass security window and noisy ice and drink machines.
The room had no lights other than bright ceiling ones. The toilet kept flushing by itself and the bath plug hole was rather blocked.
Free coffee was available in reception but you had to ask the manger for creamer, sugar etc.
The sheets and pillow cases were clean, but the bedspread smelt of man!
I was just glad this was my final night's stay before flying home from Houston after an awesome US road trip cos it made we want to go home!

A Place to Stay

We needed a quick, budget-friendly place to stay as we had to arrive in town a day sooner than expected.The area was a bit sketchy. The property was tucked away and could have better exterior lighting, especially giving the area. The shower curtains were dirty and the bathroom crevices and room baseboards needing tending. The towels were low quality and could certainly be replaced as they were thin and of poor quality. Otherwise, the customer service clerk was amazing and they had free coffee and slushes in the small lobby/check in area. We were ultimately able to fall asleep by watching a long movie on free cable tv.

Then it took her another 30 min to get us in th room because the room key didn't work! On day of check out, they continuously called our room back to back starting at 10am until we answered to tell us we had to check out in a hour at 11am even though the website said check out was at noon. I went to front desk to show her email confirmation said 12pm and so did the website and she made us still check out at 11 or we would be charged additional day.

You get what you pay for

Rented several rooms while in town on business for myself and coworkers. We expected it to be pretty basic based on the other reviews and have all stayed in some very sketchy places in the past, but in some ways the Southmore still surprised us.

Things we wished were better:
-One of our rooms didn't have hot water
-Some fixtures and lights are broken
-One of the refrigerators was leaky and constantly wet on the inside. Another made unholy amounts of noise at night and had to be unplugged
-The faucets didn't shut all the way in two of the rooms
-On one of the days my \"fresh\" towels were soaking wet and completely unusable
-Dirt (and the occasional cigarette butt) in corners of rooms and bathroom
-No hangers for clothing
-Everything is just a little grimy

Pros:
+Inexpensive
+Ok location for Uber/Taxi travel to downtown and midtown
+Free WiFi
+2 bottles of water were left in each room daily
+Good front desk service all things considered
+Nothing was stolen from my room
+Don't think I picked up any diseases

Overall, it's hardly a premium experience but we survived so it could have been worse. Fine to stay in town for a few days on the cheap, but don't rely on any of the amenities and avoid if you're squeamish.

Poorly managed motel

The hot water did not work and we informed the motel staff and they acted like they didn't care. We had to use the buckets of ice they provide and fill it up with water. We put the water in the microwave to heat it up and did that several times by dumping the hot water in the tub to take a bath. Our cable TV was not working at all. Again we informed the staff and they moved us to another room which had the same problems. The bed sheets looked horrible and we removed them and requested clean sheets. The replacement sheets were not any better. They have bed bugs!!! Absolutely disgusting
