Hotel location in the city center, not much to eat on weekends. And there's nothing to visit downtown Houston. There is no good green space. Fortunately, it's still close to the museum area.

I travel around the country a grade hotels because I’m in and out often. From the Four Seasons Ritz Carlton Marriott Marquis W hotels Westin, Sheraton‘s etc. but I was greeted and made to feel like I was a VIP when I arrived on Site. I was welcomed by Miss J and miss Jerri and the young man Jay. They went over and above to assure me And my Brother and family that we were the guest of honor in the hotel. The Front office staff names escape me at the moment, the were attentive to our every need punctual and extremely kind. The GM must Be Very Proud to have staff like this. The final line I want to pen is the restaurant the staff was more than kind all four days. Thank You So Much For A Great Stay. I would recommend this hotel again again and again. Thank You. Shep DLW

GGuest User 2023.11.13
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.

New (built 2022) hotel adjacent to freeway. Clean with exceptionally comfortable beds. Front staff member went out of her way to make sure our room was feather free. Breakfast was hot and plentiful. We didn’t have any problems with noise, so non-freeway side of hotel is definitely quiet.

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.

4.8/5
Outstanding
GGuest UserI 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.

EEbenezerWe stayed at Home2Suite during our last trip to Houston but it was the one at Pearland. We arrived at this one late in the night and the staff at the front desk was very friendly. However once we entered the lift, we were welcomed with a strong greasy smell. The hall way had rug that was clean but obviously old.
The major concern was the room which had a hole in the ceiling inside the toilet dripping water all over the floor. The AC also wasn’t working well that even at 19 degrees Celsius, was still warm. Initial complain to the staff was met with no vacant room, that they were fully booked. We managed for the first three days because we were outdoors most of the time. The room was later changed to a more comfortable one.
The other thing was the swimming pool. My kids really wanted to swim during our stay but the staff mentioned that some handle to the pool was broken and that it was closed.
The breakfast was also good but with little varieties to choose from.

JjennifermN1408IFI travel frequently for pleasure and work. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. I genuinely felt they went out of their way to make my stay the best it could be. My dog traveled with me and he got spoiled too by the staff. Will be back again soon. This will always be my first choice for stays in Houston. The staff at this hotel are top notch! Thank you all for that, you made this visit stand out from other properties. Ross and I can't wait to visit again soon!

GGuest UserI checked in very late - around 8-9pm - and the woman at the counter was extremely friendly and nice. She made conversation with us about our trip and our jobs and told us all the available amenities. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast in the morning was your average hotel breakfast, but had more options than I usually see so close to the end of breakfast time. They did not begin cleaning up breakfast right at the end time, which was nice because they let us keep grazing on what was left before finally taking it away about 20 minutes after breakfast had ended. The vending machines were really cool. There were cheap toiletries in the vending machine that you could buy in case you forgot something at home, and the cola vending machine had ice cold drinks for pretty cheap. I had a great time staying at this hotel and would definitely return if I'm ever in the area again. I've stayed at this brand of hotel (Choice Hotels) before and I've always had a great experience.
3.9/5
GGuest UserI was in a rush and needing to go to the passport office- This hotel is conveniently located two blocks away. Upon entry I was greeted warmly and it felt like an upscale home. While my room was small and quaint, it’s what I paid for. The bed was comfortable with four fluffy pillows ready to welcome my head from a days worth of travel. The food here was excellent with super fast service. What I ate? Dinner: steak and frites with french fries. Breakfast: Eggs over easy, bacon, croissant with jam, potatoes (potatoes were not my favorite but they weren’t horrible). Lunch: chicken alfredo. I enjoyed Edgar’s Hermano and the staff we so polite and helpful, pointing me in the right direction because I’m oblivious to signs.
I’m general the staff were super friendly, my room was clean with complimentary cookies and was an overall amazing experience at. For an upscale hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem.

__boujayyStayed at this property for business. Everything was wonderful! I was checked in by Davi - she was super friendly and very thorough, and explained all amenities available with Covid. Breakfast was provided in a limited selection due to covid, it was very tasty. Marian at the desk greeted me on many mornings and was very helpful and friendly. Rosa the Front Desk Manager would go out of her way to offer suggestions for dinner, and things to do. Jocelyn at the desk was also very friendly and answered my questions swiftly. Housekeeping at this property is VERY efficient, when I walked into my room, it was well appointed, clean, and had everything I needed. The room attendants I saw throughout the stay were always friendly and asked if I needed anything for my room. My stay at this hotel was very peaceful, and the entire team was wonderful! Keep up the wonderful work! :)

He had a room on the 3rd floor and the elevator was broke knowing my condition he did a few things and had gotten me a room on the first floor. Don't know what I would have done had he didn't even have tried. There would have been no way for me to make that climb. Thanks Zeya you made stay safe and restful.

JJenn ThomasThe location and price is great but they have a major roach problem. Also the pictures they show of the rooms look nothing like the rooms. When I first arrived I didn't have a shower curtain and no trash cans room. Also most of the light bulbs were too. It took me three days to get a shower curtain in my room. Also they don't have any washing machines and dryers.
