Overall it was a positive stay in a convenient part of Houston. The room was spacious, with a big, comfortable bed, a couch and a desk. The bathroom is maybe a bit outdated, but not to the extent that it was unpleasant or problematic.

The staff were pleasant and polite, and the rooms were attended to every day.

My one real frustration was that I couldn’t leave my luggage anywhere when I arrived an hour or two early. I’d never experienced this before, and it felt like a cynical attempt to encourage me pay for an early check-in. 99% of places I’ve visited over the years would also just let me check into my room without charge if the room is ready.

The breakfast wasn’t necessarily the most extensive or nutritious, but I still appreciated the convenience of it.

A good stay overall for the price, but just a couple of things that could be improved.

Breakfast almost non existant. Seating for about 6 persons. The size room we booked was not available. The had to put on t h e second floor. So two 79 year old seniors had to lug baggage up stairs. Top that off with the fact the toilet did not work in the morning. First place we've booked through Hotels.com that we were very disappointed.

The staff and management are not helpful at this location. I’m mistakenly booked for the next Saturday when I arrived on the 16th. I booked thru hotel.com and even though I took a room for the 16th they told me they could not cancel and give me a refund for the mistake booking on the 23rd. I was told by the front desk to contact the manager to discuss a refund. For two days I’ve not been able to get anyone to answer their phone to discuss. Customer service is nonexistent at this location even though I have stayed here for years. I will never stay here again.

Absolutely would not recommend. Extremely dirty hotel, rust and stains everywhere, the room door doesn’t even seal properly, there’s a large opening at the bottom so you can hear absolutely everything and the traffic outside and won’t get a good night’s sleep. The pillows on the bed are decorative and the bathroom and clothing rack had so much rust that we were unable to use them.

Safe and Clean Stay

Room was downstairs with easy access for older person. Room was clean and neat. Great value for location. Felt safe in that area.

Facilities were DISGUSTING and dirty. I came late at night and didn’t have an option to stay. The pillows were so so small and when i requested new ones, the front desk begrudgingly looked around and said he didn’t have any.
for breakfast, the front desk brought us a frozen egg on a plastic plate to microwave. I have called numerous times about the state of the room and there is never a manager around too help! Been trying to get a refund but the property is unwilling to respond!

The hotel was great for a quick overnight trip. The room was well attended, clean, comfortable. More so than most hotels in a ‘budget’ price range. The staff was very accommodating, and I appreciated that check-out time was noon (typically 11). Would stay again if we have plans in the Heights area and would recommend.

The beds were so hard and uncomfortable it was like sleeping on the floor. There was a coffee maker but there wasn't a pot or cup. Then curtains had something that was sprayed on them and ran down it.

So unnecessary

Sucked they wouldn't honor my reservation spent an hour trying to get it straightened out. The hotel made me pay twice. Went to the room. Pillows were a joke and the room smell of over fragrant cleaning solution was aweful. Went back to front for the refund from the hotel, they gave me theirs. Hotel .comm charged me too even though the hotel wouldn't honor it. I asked Hotel.com for a refund for the aweful experience and I never stayed in the room. They are thinking about it, but still haven't refunded me. I have used this app multiple times and never had a problem. Still waiting!

The front desk clerk had a very none caring attitude when I first walked in and maintained that attitude when I came back down to ask for a spare coffee cup for the morning coffee in my room since there wasn't any in my room, The clerk wouldn't even look up at me to see if I may need anything, he was just sitting there working on his computer and wouldn't bother looking up.

I found a rodent droppings on my bed on the white sheets. I would have left the premises at that very moment if I were not too tired from my long drive. When initially I entered my room the light switch wouldn't work, I had to use my phone's flash light to find the switch on the desk lamp to be able to unpack.
I made a promise not to ever book a room at Howard Johnson again.

Stay away from this ONE

Horrible experience. Bathroom was so small could barely close the door. My son slipped in tub and fell out of it and hit head on toilet. He’s almost 6’ tall and could barely maneuver self to get up. Floors were filthy. Could adjust the AC temperature. Said offer free breakfast it was a packaged muffin the size of a quarter. Waffles only on the weekend. Not the Howard Johnson I expected like others I had stayed.

It was pretty good only three things. I would say the bedsheets had a burn stain from cigarette. There were syrup on the desk that the housekeeping didn't see that I cleaned up and the showerhead because of the hard watering Texas needs to be soaked and some kind of acid calcium chemical, cause it limited the water coming out of the faucets other than that it was really clean though

First time I have ever felt it was absolutely necessary to check for bedbugs when I have stayed in hundreds of hotels around the planet.

The curtain rods were broken. So being at night, I had to leave all the lights off for privacy otherwise you could see right in. The floors were disgusting, hadn’t been mopped in at least weeks. Literally didn’t take my socks off until I was in the bed with my feet hanging off and put them on before standing out of the bed.

Paper cups for the coffee machine were filled with mold on the interior - not at that point like I would have made coffee anyway. Who knows what was done with that coffee machine.

People coming and going at all hours, noisy and slamming their room doors. My headboard was covered in lubed handprints.

If I wasn’t arriving at 1:30am after a ten hour drive, I would have protested but at that point, I wasn’t even sure where to go. Got a minimum of sleep, maybe 3 hours, and high tailed it out of there.

If anyone knows the reputation of the Days Inn in Oakland, CA…. This was league’s worse.

The staff was pleasant enough, doubt they have much control over what I experienced. This is a management/owner issue.

Absolutely do not recommend this hotel. Avoid at all costs.

I had requested a non-smoking room. As soon as i opened the door, it was obvious someone had smoked in there. I went to the front desk and they immediately gave us another room and checked to make sure it was good. The room was clean and comfortable. It was easy to access and to get to everything near us that we needed.

Awful dumpy place!

Ugh! First I had to stand outside in the dark at a glass window waiting for 10 minutes before the front desk person staggered out of a room (at 7:30 pm) to check me in. I’m a female traveling alone for business. This is unacceptable.
Obviously no one answered the phone In the office either. So check-in completely sucked. No apology from the guy on duty on top of it.
The room was run down and dingy. I don’t think the curtains have been washed for at least a decade. Dirty hand prints everywhere. There was a nasty brown smear on the wall over the bed way up toward the ceiling. I don’t even want to ask…
The bedding was old and very tired. Cheap lumpy pillows, a gross old blanket. Yuk!
The bathroom was equally dreary. The tub needs a serious upgrade. The door was chipped and nicked and would smash your knees if you sat on the toilet. The walls had stains.
Really, what on earth did I pay over $100 for????
All in all, this is on the list of three worst hotels ever anywhere I’ve stayed in the world. I do NOT recommend.

Very nice little motel

This is a small hotel near an interstate. The room was clean and everything was in good shape. Bathroom is small but beautiful wide sink is out in the room area. Breakfast was simple and in a small room. There was a waffle iron but it was not powered up and had no batter. Perhaps if I had asked. There were a few noises during the night as to be expected in an urban location. Close to downtown Houston attractions.
