- SDSugar The Surfing Dog1 day ago5.0Rocky is the best chef on the planet !! i only go here because of him !! 🍔🥩🧑🍳
- IHIGGY HOUZJan 1, 20265.0The hotel is lovely and clean and located in a convenient downtown area. Parking is public and a little high. If the homeless bother you I don't recommend staying in downtown.
- BSBrandon ScivoletteDec 23, 20255.0An excellent Hilton that provides a unique experience. The rooms are really well designed and comfortable and spacious. The gym is small but given this is an old building that is to be expected; it still has everything you'd need for a workout including free weights and a Pelaton.
- JRJT RenoDec 9, 20255.0Nice historic hotel downtown. Beautiful interior lobby. Bedrooms are very nice. We had a top floor room...10th floor which looked over part of the downtown.
- OZO ZDec 1, 20255.0Before I even checked in Andrew was a great help to me. He answered all my questions and was very helpful! All the staff, AM, PM and overnight front desk staff were a delight. I hope they get their kudos from this. Location was 10/10 for me. I read some reviews discussing the unhoused in the area- I had no issues. It’s a city. Be aware and you’re good. I did valet my car and had no issues with that either. My room was wonderful, clean and comfortable. I love this property and only stay here while in Houston.
