1. Overall, I found the property to be nice and up to date, it is a quant place, almost hard to get to, but it is close to the Galleria, and with the shuttle service there, it will be where we stay when we need a place in that area of town.

5. It has a lot going for it: excellent location (though the traffic makes it hard to get in/out of, especially if you miss the turn in the first time), ok bar (good for a drink before you head out, but not a destination in/of itself), and, in my experience, reasonable rates if you shop around a bit.

9. I think the only thing less desirable about this hotel is that it's a bit hard to get in and out of because of the busy intersection it's situated in.

10. The service was very good in general terms, though I had a hard time trying to have some extra black tea bags.
