Stayed here for 2 nights while in West-Houston for business.

Pros: Large room, clean, comfortable bed, well-working Internet, very friendly and helpful staff. The regular but fine Choice Hotel breakfast with waffle maker, etc.

Cons: Breakfast area tiny and not very inspiring. Lobby small, but everything in good working condition.

Location is right by the freeway, but there was no noise problem for me - even while being on the first floor with cars parked right outside the windows. The AC / heater is the typical wall unit, not the most quiet but not more noisy than usual either. There is a Starbucks right by the hotel and a Pizza Hut take-out across the street by a strip mall. Besides these choices, you'll definitely need a car (like anywhere else in Houston).

I would probably try and stay somewhere else next time unless money was tight or I was trying to rack up bonus points.

We received a discounted rate of $59 per night because we were a part of a large wedding party staying here. The hotel is older than most in its class and is a bit dated, but it is in a very nice neighborhood with a lot of new restaurants and retail outlets. As for our room, the bathroom smelled like sewerage at times. Sheets were not changed during our entire stay and getting clean towels from the staff was like pulling teeth. When we checked in, the staff acted as if they were doing us a favor. The night guy slept on the lobby couch most of the evening. They did keep the pool and hot tub open late for the wedding party after the reception which was very nice, and the pool is a very decent size for a hotel in this class (probably because it is an older property). For $59 per night, it wasn't bad - but don't expect any help from the staff. They were rude to an extreme at times. This an OK hotel if you're passing through, but not a good vacation hotel.
