2nd time staying with Hotel Ylem and both for NRG events. Hotel Ylem has become our go-to hotel when in Houston for its convenience, cleanliness, and hospitality. The shuttle to and from NRG is a plus! I always book with Hotel Ylem ASAP because they do sell out for big events.

Everyone was so nice and kind front desk was very helpful even got a shuttle to the concert. Only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars is because I found a roach in the shower. Other than that so really enjoyed my stay.

The lady at check-in was very nice even after dealing with a very rude customer right before helping me. She explained breakfast times, bar hours, and gave me information about the shuttle service. Hotel was very clean. Darrell, the shuttle driver was very nice and got us to and from our event at the NRG pretty quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the convenience of Hotel Ylem’s location to dining and groceries. The room is a good size, but it would be nicer to also have an easy chair for seating. The TV required our fiddling to get it to work everyday even after maintenance looked into it. We enjoyed the available breakfast options.
