This hotel ia in a great location, close to the Galleria. The rooms are different with a slick modern decor. Big windows offer a nice view. Very comfortable bed.the service was good. Cant beat the price for the location and room. I will stay again.

I agree with other poor reviews on this place. The thing that slaps you across the face is is how cheap it is. Everything is poorly made and fit. Where do I start? The bathroom door and shower door was not installed correctly. A/C (as many have mentioned) is ridiculous, it was difficult to keep the room a good temperature because I didn't want to run that thing. There's a sheet on top of the comforter to make it look right, which I've only seen on that show on television that makes over houses when they're having trouble selling. Walls ARE paper thin...literally. It's weird when you're sitting on your bed and you hear someone clear their throat in another room. I had to turn around to make sure I was alone! I will say that this place has potential, they need to seriously upgrade the quality of the stay rather than just try to make it look cool. Who do they think they're fooling? By the way, I've been in Red Roof Inn's that have flat screen T.V's, so I'm not sure why people think that just because you put one on the wall, it makes it nice. This developer/owner cut a ton of corners in this place and it's all evident.

The Galleria is a great area, but this hotel is not representative of the area. I'm not really into staying in a bad hotel because it's in a nice area with a lot of better hotels that are actually worth the money.

I'm so glad I wasn't paying for this.

The hotel is clean with a modern feel and vibe. If you have stayed in some of the European chain hotels, it has bit of that feeling to it. There is a refrigerator in the room and an area in the lobby where you can buy snacks to fill it. There is a steakhouse restaurant on the property that will deliver to your room. Parking is pricey as it is as most of the Galleria hotels - $12 for self parking. Bottled water in the room, comfortable bed, plasma tv. On the weekends you will find the hotel tends to offer some stellar deals either on spg.com or on expedia and travelocity. I stayed for $69 for a Friday and Sat. I've seen the range to be between 69-99 for weekend bookings. Free wi-fi.

We were looking for a last minute get-away just after Christmas and narrowed our search by deciding on Houston and a hotel accepting of dogs. I found Aloft on Priceline and was surprised at the reasonable rate and their acceptance of any type of pet, including dogs of any size!

The downside was that by reserving the room online, there was no way to indicate we would be arriving with dogs, so I called to make sure. The staff was friendly and welcomed our 75 lb lab and 45 lb Boston Terrier mix, no problem.
It was our first hotel stay with the dogs so we didn't stray very far from the room, to test their reaction. We had a drink in the hotel bar during "Twilight"-their version of happy hour-and had really well made martinis for $6.50. Unfortunately, we were away from the room for only 20 minutes before the front desk called our cell phones to let us know of noise complaints from the dogs. The bartender encouraged us to bring the dogs into the bar :-). I can't say that *all* of the other guests were thrilled with our "pack", but most were, and the staff was welcoming and didn't bat an eye.

Unfortunately, the indoor pool was closed the week we visited, but it wasn't a surprise. I found the info ahead of time on the website, but it wasn't posted in an obvious area.

The room was Uber modern-we had to kinda chuckle. More like a studio apartment you might expect to find in a large city, which was fun for us. Yes, no tub, and no little freebie shampoo (bulk shampoo and soap built into the shower), but the shower itself was large and plenty. The bathroom is not very sound proof so you'll want to be very comfortable with your roomie or take shifts if you have "stage fright".

Aloft is pretty close to The Galleria, but not a comfortable walk back if you were carrying bags. The hotel may have a Galleria shuttle. It is in walking distance of the Capital Grille, who also provides the hotel's room service, but the short walk is very worth while for dinner.

I would like to stay at this hotel again, with our dogs, but my suggestion would be to have a "dog friendly" floor or to space out guests to avoid annoying anyone. The night we stayed the hotel was almost empty so it seemed possible that we could have been assigned a room away from other guests.
