Staybridge Suites Houston West is a new, bright & clean property with amazingly friendly staff. The rooms are cozy and the free breakfasts are great. Each night there is a manager's reception in the lobby lounge with drinks and appetizers. A beautiful fireplace with comfy couches and tables & chairs to socialize or watch TV. I've stayed here twice so far and both times there have been families staying as well. There are bachelors, 1 & 2 bedroom suites. Each has a sofa or 2 arm chairs, full kitchen with dishes, utensils, table & chairs or island breakfast nook. The decor is modern although warm and welcoming. My travel agent made a mistake this time and booked me into the Staybridge across town. This site was sold out so I had to cross the street to the Mariott Residence Inn and all I can say is "yuck"! Cold and uninviting. Staybridge has a fenced in pool with tons of towels, a BBQ area and ample parking. The staff, especially Lauren & Norma at the front desk, bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. Negotiate rates too. If you're staying a week or longer, you can get down to around $80 per night. Awesome place!
