IF ATTENING A CONCERT AT NRG: Great hotel. Super clean and comfortable. We were going to a show at NRG and booked here to be in walking distance. It is somewhat of a longer walk, but we found out when we arrived that there are pedi-cabs available before and after the shows. There is also no hotel bar so instead we took a quick Uber to the Holiday Inn next to NRG stadium before the show started to grab a drink. There was security in the parking lot checking room keys when we arrived back to hotel after the show. Breakfast was 10/10!

Stay Far away as you possibly can from this Hotel! My Truck was Stolen from their parking lot mind you they have security over night till 6 a.m. but of course she was at the front desk talking it up instead of actually doing her job. Before I filed a police report I asked the front desk if they had towed any vehicles that night and he stated that they hadn’t towed a vehicle in 4 years. Mind you the guy next to me had his catalytic converter stolen as well. Hotel acted like it was no big deal. I don’t see how this property has 9 stars it should have 3 or 4 at the most. Place is a joke!!

They stay inside the hotel wasn’t bad aside from the fact only one elevator was working. It’s what happened the next morning. Not only did my truck get the back window knocked out but also 13 others in the parking lot overnight. And they have security on the property yet no security cameras in the parking lot. So that seemed a bit fishy. You mean to tell me your on-site “security” didn’t see nor hear 14 trucks get the windows bashed out of them. Police never came but spoke to them on the phone and they said this has been a reoccurring thing at this property! So unless you want to spend money on a window I don’t recommend staying here!!!!

VERY disappointed. Stayed here for the Houston rodeo and thought the location would be great. WRONG, close to TWENTY cars/trucks were broken into within the two days we stayed. Hotel staff are aware this is an issue and chose to not disclose that there are only cameras facing the FRONT of the building/parking lot. Security saw our truck get broken into and wrote a note for the front office, didn’t call the police or file a report. The security is useless. We learned of the other break ins via other guests staying. Not only did we experience theft/vandalization, but upon receiving our room keys, we were given keys of an OCCUPIED room. Barely received an apology, just an excuse that it happens sometimes. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We were forced to stay because our room was non refundable and everything was booked elsewhere. P

No TV available. The compensation offered was not reasonable. The hotel offered to check out at no charge for 1 night but me and my family were going to stay for 3 nights. The offer to check out was to do the check out at the second night. When I requested another compensation offer, the hotel staff declined any other possible compensations.

The check-in with front desk agent, Leslie was absolutely amazing. He was very friendly and informative. The pool was an added plus. 2 bed suite was very spacious for 3 adults and 1 child. Property was very clean inside and out. I can't rate the free breakfast because I havent had it yet; as I am writing this review on my 1st night at the hotel. I asked for a complimentary late check-out and Leslie was more the willing to oblige. Great customer service always starts with your first contact and Leslie made our arrival very pleasant after a long 13 hour drive. Bed is firm, but comfy. I would recommend staying at this property.

My family and I stayed at this hotel during the rodeo, and it was great overall! The room was spotless, and housekeeping did an excellent job of keeping everything fresh without needing to ask—they restocked towels on their own, which was a nice touch. The bed was comfortable, and I got a great night’s sleep after a long day at the event. The location was convenient, and the overall service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone attending the rodeo or just looking for a clean, well-maintained stay!

We slept so good we never sleep in and it was just so comfortable we didn’t realize it was sunny out because they have amazing shades on their windows. We walked to NRG and it was not a bad walk at all. 15 or less . Very convenient. And a lot of places to eat near by . We will definitely be going back on our next trip to Houston!!!

We came into town to attend a football game. Our check in was easy. The front desk lady was so nice and helpful. As she was the entire stay. The room was very spacious, clean and tidy. The location is excellent if you’re heading to NRG for an event. It about 3/4 of a mile walk and only took about 15/20 minutes tops. The area is a little on the rough side but you wouldn’t know it when you’re at the hotel because their grounds are nice and they have a courtesy officer who stays in the parking lot at night and keeps an eye on everything. Overall I think this was a great stay and the price was right. And Kudo to the hotel staff. You’re doing a nice job.

We arrived early due to a major mix up with my daughter showing lambs & she saw how exhausted we were after driving in from the early morning hours. She made sure my daughter & I were safe & I cannot express enough how professional & caring she was. This was my best experience over 30 years of travel. The hotel was spotless, breakfast was great, beds were beyond comfortable & she put us in a super quiet room to rest for an hour till we had to head over to get the animal at HLSR. I cannot say enough about Dior & the hotel. We stayed for 3 days & everything was perfect!

However, the gentleman at the front desk was not very hospitable. He almost seemed irritated. The breakfast was not great. Turkey sausage was the only meat option and it was so salty that I couldn’t eat it. (I would also like to suggest that you offer a cereal or prepackaged oatmeal for gluten free patrons since you have so many coming for medical treatment. Cheerios are an easy option.)

The staff must mostly be new to the service industry. They’re not very experienced and knowledgeable. The after hours entry doors slam shut loudly and disturb all the rooms in the vicinity.

The other 3 days the machine was fixed, but they only put out pancake mix to use it on 2 of the 3 days.
