The only thing was wasn't right is that there is no Saturday breakfast and I arrived on a Friday. I was told what time breakfast was available. The next morning I learned that breakfast is M-F. I don't know enough about Houston to know a good place to stay overnight to make a flight connection work. Everything was fine.

Pros (+) Close to the federal building.
Cons (-) Rooms were not good. Beds were terrible. Possibly the worst hotel beds I have slept in. Noisy and kept the kids up as they are light sleepers. The hotel itself smelled old and the rooms did as well. There was mold in the inside bath/shower unit. We left the hotel as soon as we could. Staff were fantastic. The employees in the hotel did a great job.

Cons (-) We found that the noise from the highway can be very loud and make it challenging for children to sleep at night. We also found cockroaches in the bathroom and that is not good indication of cleanliness. We raised the fact that we found the cockroaches to the hotel staff and their response was okay we will inform the housekeeping.
