"Historic hotel in heart of downtown Houston " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/1/2012 Vote

2. So, I give it two thumbs up for service (with the caveat that they probably shouldn't have been booking the room directly above the construction), but the hotel needs a little TLC and modernization in the rooms - if you need bland slipcovers, time to buy a new couch.

5. Install a truly high-speed wireless system and backbone to match, buy new phones for the rooms (including decent cordless), get some high-power flushing toiltets from this century, completely re-do the gym and for God's sake, build a true business center.
