Customer Service was on point. Need to focus on the public bathroom having toilet paper. Also NOT A FUN feeling having the alarm go off and walk down 10 floors for a false alarm (TWICE) middle of the night. Parking is expensive ($25).

Great location, but would not stay again. Their was no ice vending machine in the hotel. Lobby locks after hours so hope your key doesn’t fail or you are on time checking in because you can’t get in. Also in the lobby at 9:00 am the staff was vacuuming and asked me to leave the area to vacuum. I thought that was odd.

Family and I agreed on Aloft Galleria, because we had heard good about this chain. Big mistake !! 1. Ice machine was broke, so I had to constantly get ice from the bar downstairs! 2. Only 1 elevator worked; so the wait from the 7th floor down was grueling!! 3. No phone in the room; they claimed i need to download the app to get room service!!! WHAT ?! 4. Shower door didnt close right, so water got all over the floor! 5. Patched up ceiling above the beds; looked like a kindergarten kid painted and did the dry wall !! Overall , horrible hotel !! Staff wasn't super friendly either ! There are many other nice hotels in the Galleria area ! Stay somewhere else other than Aloft Galleria!!

Do not stay here. This hotel is in terrible condition and completely falling apart. The front desk staff is polite and helpful. But they deserve a better desk to work from than that aging slab of whatever they're forced to use now. The rooms aren't much better. There's some slippery film or some kind of lubicrated substance on the wooden floors in my room and I don't recommend walking barefoot. The desk chair (see photos) is HORRIBLE. The plastic has fallen off the arm rests and you'll scratch your skin on them. And I won't speculate on what stained the seat. Oh yea... check out the side table (see photos). Completely rotting away. The TV remote barely works. The AC sounds like it belongs in Nascar engine. The toilet refuses to flush without a healthy dose of wishful thinking. I've been staying at Aloft Hotels for years. But this level of disrespect to guests is unacceptable. UPGRADE AND RENOVATE THIS HOTEL! On the positive, the staff is on point. And there was breakfast available on a holiday so that was good and pretty tasty too. In the meantime, travelers... avoid this place.

I don’t even know where to start. The property looks nice enough from the outside however, when you walk in it’s dated and very dirty. The floors are stained in the hallways and in the rooms. The wallpaper is peeling off the walls, and the floors don’t look like they’ve ever seen a vacuum. Our first room smelled like mildew and the linens had not been changed from the previous guest. Our second room was even worse. It also smelled like mildew and it was filthy. There was hair in our linens, the mattress was soiled, the floor was dirty, and there was hair on the shower floor and walls. The toilet wouldn’t flush, and the coffee packets next to the coffee pot had been opened. Not that I would dare using the coffee pot here. It looked like the only thing the cleaning staff bothered to do was make the bed. Since we had already changed rooms once we decided to suck it up and get some rest, unfortunately that didn’t last long. Upon turning the lights off we noticed light shining into our room from a vent on the wall. It was a little creepy that light from the room next to us was coming into our room. At 11:30 at night we packed up and decided to make the 10 hr drive home. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone! The owner, A Loft, and Marriott should be ashamed to charge $165 per night for a room here. The only positive thing I can say about this hotel is the staff we encountered was nice.

Was great location however not the best Aloft I’ve stayed. Lobby is typical and nice but the rooms could use a bit of updating to complete the full Aloft experience and expectation. We had to switch rooms after a leak from room above. Staff was pleasant and polite and accommodating. Other than that it was good. I would consider staying again primarily because I like Alofts and the staff here were all great my entire stay.

We pulled into the parking garage in broad daylight, around 4:00pm, to check in. There was a old run down car blocking one of the entrance lanes. The trunk was open and three males were standing at the back, organizing all of their drug and narcotics selection. It was blatantly obvious they were setting up to make a sale. We quickly moved past them and went to a higher level of the garage. Unfortunately, we would have to walk past them to go into the MAIN FRONT entrance of the hotel. I decided I would try to sneak a photo and call Houston Police. But by the time we parked and rode the elevator down, they must have completed their sale, and they were gone. Where was the hotel staff? Where are the security cameras!? This was NOT the first time these people had setup and done this……beware of this location.

First room, was completely dirty with exception of beds being made which makes anyone think. There was NOT just spit on the walls in the bathroom it was a big loogey with what looked like snot/mucus. Hair on floor. Shampoo conditioner and body wash bottles were empty on arrival but didn’t notice until use. I made them aware and they quickly and promptly replaced. I. honestly could not say anything better about the staff, likely the best staff I’ve had in hundreds and hundreds of hotels. Location was great. Food was good. Ambiance was great. Clean grounds. Smaller pool but no one was in there. Workout center was clean. Thank you again to the staff.
