We had rented 2 suites for a wedding weekend. Everything was fairly clean, however the linens on one of the beds smelled like they were not changed prior to us getting into the room. They had some weird smell- like someone else slept on them and they hadn't been washed. Other than that, our stay was pretty pleasant. We did... more

I stayed here on business the week of June 22nd. I had stayed next door at the Courtyard Marriott the previous week and thought I would give the Residence Inn a try as these are the only Marriott options in downtown Houston. First, I'll point out that Gold Elite members receive none of the perks or upgraded amentities that they... more

Checked in and got the room for disabilities, without being asked or told. Bars everywhere, bench in the tub, hand-held shower just aren't my favs. Bathroom smells very musty, like mildew. Across from the Police Station, very noisy at night with sirens, etc. Kept getting woke up. Room wasn't cleaned on my first day there. When I called the person... more

I've just returned from the Houston International Quilt Festival. This hotel is a good location if attending the festival. We had a studio with kitchenette. Room was very clean, well kept up. Dishes, pot and pans stocked in kitchen. Hotel had a free shuttle to the convention center in the morning but hotel said "the shuttle was booked for the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Residence Inn Houston Downtown while in town for the weekend to go to an Astros game. The hotel was excellent. Everything was extremely clean. The breakfast was great with a good variety of things to choose from. The pool area overlooks the street from the 3rd floor and since it is open late,... more

The website prepares you for a 'historic hotel' or at least one that pays tribute to the historic nature of the building. Not so with this very generic adaption of Residence Inn (RI). Only a few framed photos and letters in the breakfast room alluded to the historic nature of the building. Once inside you get the full experience of... more

I thought the hotel was just ok. The location was in downtown across the street from the police station. So it was loud with sirens at times. The hotel staff were friendly but not efficent. They checked us in but did not put us in the hotel system. The hotel housekeeping saw we were in the room and not registered... more

The key plus for this hotel is the location - right smack in downtown. Hence it is great for biz travellers. Not many good restaurants within 5min walk. Most of them are at the other end of Main Street which is a 10-15min walk (thru a rather unsavoury part of Main Street). The rooms are basic. The wired internet connection... more

I recently stayed at the Marriott Courtyard/Residence Inn in downtown Houston. The location was key as I had tickets to a few Astro's games and the ballpark is downtown. The room was average and not in line with the newer, more upscale courtyard product and was dirty when I checked in. The in-room amenities were sparse, the hotel restuarant was... more
