1. Towards the north of downtown where the better bars and restaurants are.

2. I checked out a couple other rooms and their bathrooms had better layouts - and those same lowboy toilets.

"Friendly Downtown Boutique Hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/23/2011 Vote

3. I come to Houston from a neighboring state fairly often to attend concerts - I would stay at this hotel again for its convenience to the theatre district - much better than having to drive in Houston traffic.

"Excellent Service - Good Location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/25/2011 Vote

4. FINALLY: HIRE BETTER STAFF.

"Nice hotel with European flare, lacks in amenities and suffers from untrained staff " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/10/2010 Vote

5. The room we got was okay but the view out of the largest window was of an air conditioning unit that had seen better days.

"Only minor complaints " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/18/2010 Vote

6. All they had to do was let us know in advance, and we probably would've had a better experience.

7. The furniture layout could have been better probably with less furniture.

10. But for their rack room rate, one can do much better in downtown Houston and in locations that are still quite convenient to all the best cultural activities.
