Quiet comfort!

Very friendly reception and helpful staff. You can see that cleanliness is a top priority. The food was very good as well. They offer a secure, enclosed parking area that is monitored by cameras next to the hotel.

Okay hotel, great staff I just wish the rooms had ac. I’m a little bougie about ac though bc I live in Houston and just get cranky when it’s humid with no ac😂
Ashley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Place was nice, clean and good service. The bartender Nelson was great. Only thing I didn't care for was being charged $12 extra for parking. I don't think there's a need to pay for parking at a hotel.

Harry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was excelent! The only problem i had is that the A/C is not strong enough and can get a little hot. I was down at 2 am since i couldnt sleep and they gave me an electric fan and upgraded me to a suite that could regulate the temperature at will, still the A/C was a little lacking but it was enough for me to get comfortable. The hotel staff was great! Breakfast was delicious and the lunch/dinner options were very tasty. Overall I had a wonderful time at this hotel!
