Stayed here for work -- love the amenities, even though I had to travel a bit to and from my client. Stayed on the renovated Hilton Honors floor -- what a delight. All the upgrades you would hope for. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Proper functioning heating & a/c. Comfortable bathroom and plumbing. Coffee service replenished each day -- no details forgotten. Housekeeping attentive and honest. Manager reception nice -- a decent assortment of beverages. The lobby setting soothing -- nice seating areas, including typical tables & chairs along with sofas and overstuffeds. Steve Keup the GM dropped by and we chatted -- professional and he actually cared about my opinion (rather than a quick smile and nod). Chef (at dinner) was proud of his work, and actually came by to see what I thought. A bonus: the mated pair of swans floating in the "brook" that winds its way through the lobby. How soothing after a long day of client focus. To the animal rights activists: they are safe and well treated, cared for with TLC. True, they aren't out in the wild -- but then again, their predators aren't in the lobby. A tradeoff I can easily live with.

I have spent months living in this hotel over the past few years and found it to be very comfortable. Price is reasonable and the food is good. The free breakfast suits whatever you feel like. The staff are generally very friendly and helpfull. Have not used the pool but it generally looks good. Rooms are spacious and clean. Most have recently been refurbished. Internet is free in the lobby and free for gold or above HHonors members. A desk in the lounge and bedroom is good for working. Bedding is comfortable although the pillows could do with changing as i went through the 4 in the room to find usable ones. I like the 2 x 40inch plasmas in the room (one in bedroom one in Lounge). Reasonable selection of channels. It is close to the shops so good for walking to other restaurants or to any of the shops. Free shuttle bus is usefull when weather is no good or you have to carry something.

Just got back from a weekend in Houston. I stayed at the Embassy Suites Houston Galleria.
This hotel is close to everything. One block walk from the Galleria shopping center. Easy freeway access.

The hotel hasn't changed much since the last time I stayed there two years ago. However I was told that there are renovated suites on the third floor. I arrived too late last Thursday afternoon to get one. My suite was comfortable and quiet. Two 40" flat screen TVs, microwave oven in the cupboard near the sink and a small refrigerator.

Since the last time I was there the lighting in the suite has improved by adding additional lights. The lighting in the bathroom is a little below par.Evelyn and Crabtree products in the bathroom. Suite was provided with three bath towels.

Very quiet hotel since the bedroom is at the back of the suite and they have great blackout blinds. The king bed was a little on the soft side for my liking, but I had a great nights sleep.

There are desks in the living area and the bedroom. Lots of outlets to charge computers and phones.

Every afternoon there is a complimetary Manager's happy hour with drinks and snacks in the bar. Nice touch.

The breakfast is included and there are made to order omlettes and pancakes. Starbucks coffee and a good selection of fruit and yoghurt. The pastries, breads and bagels are very average.

There is an indoor pool and well equipped gym on the main floor.
There is a pair of resident swans that reside in lobby. You'll see the swan motif throughout the hotell. There was a black swan photo in my bathroom.

Parking is easy all surrounding the hotel. Very easy to exit or enter from all around the hotel. you can even access the nextdoor Staybridge suites parking lot without going out onto the street.

The Galleria shopping center can easlily be accessed by walking down Sage Street and going around the corner or short cutting across the church parking lot. There is an access gate on the Embassy Suites parking lot.

The location is superb and getting onto the freeway is less than five minutes unless it's Friday afternoon. Avoid driving by the Galleria as all the parking garage traffic pours out onto Alabama Street.

Thanks again embassy hotel I love coming to the hotel and enjoying everyone but I'm and big food person so me and family love visiting the cook there he has an great smile and nice thumbs up to chef james thanks to the hotel staff.
