4-Star Hotels in Texas, United States

Both the suites and premium rooms are fantastic! They all come with kitchens, which is super convenient for making simple Chinese meals when you're craving home cooking. My favorite part is the lobby's self-service bar, with complimentary water, coffee, and milk. It's incredibly handy!

It feels like a hotel in a mall. The contrasting colors are very fashionable. You can't see the sky so it's a bit confusing during the day and night.

Overall, it's a bit old, the location is great and the transportation is convenient. Before I left, I knew that this hotel was still a bit historical. It was once a Texas hotel and was a hotel that stayed the night before Kennedy's assassination.

The room was very nice and updated. Location was excellent and within walking distance to the Kid Rock concert. It was on the waterway, so it made the walk enjoyable....close to restaurants too. Parking at the guest garage was affordable at $17 for 24 hours. Hotel staff was very friendly.

I've been coming here 6 years now and I think this will be my last visit. Front desk staff (Helen? And Avery) were very sweet and hospitable, however, the hotel appears short staffed on housekeepers. Rooms were not available for many customers waiting in the lobby as they were still being cleaned at 430pm (check in is 3pm) and customers complained loudly. After settling in for the night, I noticed black spots on the bathroom ceiling that appeared to be mold. The toilet took two flushes for a ”#1” and more for a ”#2”. The motor court at the hotel entrance could only comfortably fit 2 cars as there was a police patrol car and community outreach vehicle occupying the remaining space, so cars were either trapped and waiting for others to depart before they could leave or back out awkwardly onto the street. The surrounding area appeared generally dirty and unsafe with lots of homeless roaming around. One was naked about a block west. After returning to my room after a long absence, I noticed my used towels (which were extremely rough textured) were removed but none were replaced. Though both of my beds were slept in, only one was made. The room temp was adjusted down to 63 for some reason. I don't understand why they bothered to enter. Nothing appeared cleaned or replaced. The evening front desk person seemed equally confused and provided BS excuses. But he mentioned they had ran out of towels earlier and I would have to come down for new ones. The parking garage is bizarre and narrow, badly in need of fresh paint, and poorly lit on most floors. The elevators routinely opened on floors where no one was waiting to board and the internal buttons weren't pressed for.

Very happy with this hotel. A convenient location to get to the Moody Center in a short time frame, amongst other spots we planned on going too.

The hotel environment is quiet and elegant, the room has good natural light, and the cleanliness is impeccable. The facilities are complete and functional, and the front desk staff are patient and attentive. It's also conveniently located for getting around. Overall, my experience exceeded expectations, and I highly recommend it!

The hotel was nice. The only complaint I have it that I had my Do Not Enter/ Do Not Disturb (not sure which it said) hanging on the door when I went to the store. They entered anyway! I had money left out on the counter and other valuables that I didn’t have put in the safe bc I didn’t have time to throw it in there. They shouldn’t have entered if I put the sign on the door that said don’t smh

Great Service, Lovely Breakfast — but Room Noise and In-Room Dining Could Improve I recently stayed at the Thompson Houston and overall had a great experience, especially thanks to the excellent service. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and professional. Their attention to detail really made me feel welcomed, and I was touched when they surprised me with a graduation cake — a thoughtful gesture I truly appreciated. The hotel breakfast was a highlight. The food was fresh and well-prepared, and once again, the service stood out. Dining in the morning felt like a treat thanks to the welcoming atmosphere. That said, there were a few downsides that affected my stay. The room was quite noisy, even late into the night. It was hard to relax or fall asleep with the amount of outside noise coming through. Also, I ordered in-room dining on two occasions. On the first day, everything was great. However, the next day the fries were noticeably soggier, the salad was just a bowl of greens with six tiny avocado cubes, and — most concerning — the aioli on the side looked like it had already been used. Overall, Thompson Houston left a positive impression on me, mostly due to its exceptional staff and quality breakfast. I hope they can improve the soundproofing and ensure consistency in their in-room dining service.

This place smelled like mold, was humid, was dirty, and badly needs a complete remodel. It might have been nice in the early 1990s, but it is not now. The staff at the desk was nice, but everyone else, not so much. If I had to stay here again, I would find another place. It was not scary - it just was not nice.
