Hotels near Armed Forces Memorial at Freedom Park, Harris County

It wasn't anything to blow my mind, it met the minimal of my expectations. We encountered a problem as soon as we got there which management dealt with, somewhat quickly. Breakfast is OK, nothing too special. I did feel that if they were going to serve opened pastries and use paper plates, then they may as well have utilized bulk sealed pastries. Nothing extravagant, or over the top. Very basic, but I have high standards when it comes to value, and cleanliness. My bare minimum standards were met. Staff was helpful and nice. There is a bar right next to it (practically se parking lot), so if you don't want to encounter the noise issue, asked to be on the opposite side.

Ok, where do I begin. When I walked in around 5:30pm on 10/9/23, I was greeted by the front desk staff, the young gentleman was very nice and friendly. I went to my room initially because the app said my electronic key was ready to use. Went to the 12th floor and nope, trek back down to the lobby and had to get a regular key. Frustrating to lug my stuff back downstairs. My room was really nice, size wise and they do clean it as well as possible but as all the reviews say, extremely outdated, needs everything replaced. What was really frustrating was the temperature of the water in the shower. Early in the morning, you turn on the water, you have to get in because you're on a time crunch. You stand there, sticking one arm at a time in the water and you're dying because it's so damn cold. By the time you get through most of your body, it finally warms up just in time to wash your hair. On my last morning there, I had a 7:20am flight so I was in that terrible cold shower earlier than I'd like to think about. Yes, I would run the water ahead of time as much as possible but come on! The hotel has potential, but they need to put some serious money into it. The hallway on the way to the elevators has some type of scented thing plugged in, I had to gag as I passed it everyday and wondered what needed to be covered up, scent wise. I've stayed at the Aria in Las Vegas, amazing smell when you walk in, they aren't trying to cover anything up, it's just a wonderful, stays with you and even provides a memory to reflect back on type of smell. Anyway, I was attending a conference. The room itself was fine, no issues there, however, each time we took a break to use the restroom down the hall by the restaurant, it was an adventure. We all laughed because you never knew which sink would leak out water and which would provide the soap. You also, typically had to use a roll of paper towel that sat on the counter that you had to rip off a piece to dry your hand. It was crazy. I would stay again if I absolutely had to, the convenience of attending my meeting and going up to my room during a lunch break was really nice. Sorry, I hate to give a negative review but maybe someone will listen and sink some money into this potential of a hotel. Nice employees though!

The employees are always pleasant. The hotel is always clean, and the food is always scrumptious.

The bed linens were not clean and did not look white, they were light brown. The pillow cases were dirty looking too. Very unpleasant stay.

Stay was beyond excellent. The room was clean, fresh smelling and the bed super comfortable. Staff were friendly and professional. Shout out to David who gave us a warm welcome. Hotel does NOT charge for parking, which is highly unusual. The hotel offers a parking garage and surface parking behind the hotel. The location is very convenient. Without traffic it was only a 15 minute drive to downtown, 10 minutes to the Galleria and 10 minutes to Memorial Park. The challenge is navigating the frontage roads to actually get to the hotel, but Waze or Google Maps was spot on with the guidance. The hotel definitely has an older architectural style, but the rooms are super clean and well maintained. The concierge lounge is stocked with sodas, flavored water and snacks. Soundproofing was sufficient that we never were bothered by the freeway noise! We stay at dozens of hotels on an annual basis, and this hotel is simply one of the best run properties we have experienced. Definitely would recommend this property and stay here again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a youth hostel that truly stood out for its exceptional qualities. Nestled in a residential area, its location was incredibly convenient, offering a tranquil retreat just a bike ride away from the city center—less than 10 minutes to be exact. This made for peaceful nights, ensuring a restful sleep in a safe environment. The hostel is run by a delightful couple whose hospitality knew no bounds. They were not only eager to assist with any issues that arose but also went above and beyond by providing bicycles. This thoughtful touch significantly enhanced my mobility around Houston, allowing me to reach various destinations swiftly. What set this hostel apart was the attention to detail and the array of complimentary amenities, including cookies, milk, cereal, coffee, and tea. The cleanliness and smart technology throughout the house contributed to a seamless stay, making it the best hostel experience I've ever had. The bathroom towels folded into swan shapes were a testament to the owners' dedication to detail, adding a touch of elegance and care. The warmth of the place was akin to being at home, with the owners always ready for a chat, eager to answer questions, and share their stories and experiences. A highlight for me was the world map on the living room wall, where guests could pin their home countries—a fun and interactive way to connect with fellow travelers. In summary, this hostel was more than just a place to stay; it felt like a home, or perhaps more accurately, a homestay. It's undoubtedly the best hostel I've ever stayed in globally, blending the comfort of a home with the adventurous spirit of a hostel.

I would like to start by saying that the Moxy is one of my favorite hotels ever! Every single time that I go to another city I stay at one of their properties if they have a location. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with how my lasted reservation was handled. I booked my stay about two months out from an event and I received a confirmation email with all of my information. About three weeks out from the event I received a cancellation email. When I called the number listed on the website it rang and rang without an answer. I finally found another number, the corporate office I believe. I was told this particular location opened bookings without a permit and as a result my reservation was canceled. I expressed that I was a rewards member and my concerns about trying to reserve another reservation in such a short time frame not only caused stress but also extra money. There was a big concert that same weekend, so most of the nice hotels were completely booked. It was made very clear that they are not concerned with customer satisfaction. I was told they’re not price matching rates at their other properties and that it’s solely my responsibility to find another accommodation. I ended up having to pay double the price at another establishment. No one has reached out since and no accommodation was made on their behalf after the permit was obtained. Shame on you Marriott.

The hotel is basically not bad, but it is clearly booked a non-smoking room. There is indeed a smell of smoke in the room. In addition, the wifi in the room is sometimes not available. It is reacted to the hotel staff and cannot be dealt with immediately. ㄧ It was not resolved until check-out.
