The hotel offers great value for a stay right in the heart of the Houston downtown center and near multiple Metro stops, although being just on top of a night club might not suit everyone's preferences. The rooms provide a cozy bed and kitchen appliances, but it could improve in some areas for an even more pleasant stay.
