“I give it a B+, not bad, not perfect”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

So I was nervous about staying here because of some of the reviews, and frankly some of the positive reviews looked fake...( hint... lots of positive reviews written by people who have only left one review..hmm).. but push came to shove and we gave it a shot. It's an older hotel, but there has been an obvious attempt to spruce it... Check-in was quick and easy, and our room was ready when we got there... My toddler found a used q-tip on the floor an stuck it in her ear...freaking gross!!! However, I had done a walk through before letting her in the room and I didn't see it, so maybe neither did housekeeping... My husband found empty sugar packets in the ice bucket... My family went to the pool and had a good time...The room in general was clean and we all slept well, beds were comfy..
We order room service and it was delivered quickly, and the food was decent...
The next morning I called and checked on buffet prices.. our room came with 2 adults buffets for free, but I wanted to check out the prices for our children ages 9,7, and twin 4 years olds... I was told 5 and under were free and the older children was $6. Not bad, so off we went... the buffet was ok, a little hectic, and I never saw anyone making omlettes so don't count on it... when our bill came, we had been charged for 3 kids.. I asked the server about being over charged, and he said otherwise he was going to charge me for an extra adult... huh? I just paid and figured I'd asked the front desk. I went to check-out of the hotel and I asked about buffet prices.. and was told I should have only been charged for the older kids buffets and that she would grab the manager, the front desk girl was very nice... The manager came and was obviously annoyed by my question, she confirmed I was over charged and refunded the $7. Now, the $7 is not that big of a deal, but it's kinda the principle.. Somehow I ended up apoligizing for bothering her instead of her apoligizing for the hassle of me getting a refund... Would I stay here again... maybe.. but I would skip the food all together... and I would avoid the grouchy manager..

Dear Traveler,

Well a B+ isn't bad but we sure aim for the A+. We're awfully sorry to hear that we didn't earn that from your stay. We'll definitely address the room cleanliness issues and the "grouchy manager" situation. Those are both out of the norm and should be easy fixes. We hope you will come back and stay with us again so we can show that we are deserving of a much better grade! We do appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again.

Safe travels!

“Perfect in every way!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stay here quite often for business and cannot say enough about the staff and services I receive from this hotel. Not to mention the location is perfect for my type of work and the rooms here are really spacious. The hotel I stayed at before would always find a way to screw up my reservation but here they really have their game on and remember me by my first name. The management must work really hard at taking care of the business travelers. I recommend this to whoever wants to be pampered and treated as a true Priority when you walk in as a Priority Club member.

“Excellent stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My friend and I were going to attend a concert at the nearby Arena Theater and needed a place to stay. The Crowne Plaza is just south of the theater. Check-in was quick and the young man that helped us was very upbeat and pleasant. The welcome bag was a nice touch. We were giving the 8th floor and said it would be very quiet. Our room was very spacious with a separate living room area with a sofa,desk, flat screen tv and wet bar. The bedroom also had a flat screen tv and a desk with a mirror. The bed linens were very crisp and super comfortable. We had dinner at the Sierra Grille on the main lobby floor which was very affordable and tasty. I have no complaints at all with this location. Everything was fine and I would definately return. There are so many hotels in Houston~If you need one in this part of town, you should consider this establishment. They aim to please and they do! :)

“Great place to stay & recuperate”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service at this hotel, where I stayed after a long, tough road trip. It was a great place to recuperate from being on the road. The staff was fantastic, and they addressed any issue/question I had without hesitation.
They arranged for a car and driver to and from the airport. The shuttle to the Galleria mall is on a timed schedule in the evenings But I found that because I was the only person going, they worked around my timetable.
My suite was spacious and verry well appointed and the bed was very comfortable and the hotel, generally, was quiet. The quality of food in the Restaurant was good.
I Have to say it was the perfect place to put myself back together after a long road trip. Would recommend it for anybody looking for a bit of pampering ...

This is my third stay at his Hotel. Once again they impressed me. The staff, the food, the comfortable beds, the excellent business center and the great gym. There is no better value for money in Houston.

Keep up the good work.
