It was very clean, the equipment is new and well maintained, there are lockers with enough space for a backpack and the hotel can supply a lock. There is a nice swimming pool with a very nice area to chill out even though it was so cold and I couldn’t enjoy it, Jonathan is professional and kind with a wonderful personality. We had an interesting chat! On top, there was a good breakfast included! The hotel is close to the highway and easy to get an Uber or Lyft, it’s also easily accessible by train to downtown Houston, 600m from Cavalcade train station. Using the Metro Rail Red line will take you 15min exactly to Main Street square Northbound station.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This hostel is located in a generally safe area (bearing in mind that Houston is not a very touristic place!), easily accessible by buses. It offers clean areas, friendly staff and a kitchen area.

    The Apartment was esthetically very pleasing and immaculate, the hosts seemed to think of everything. It was stocked with everything we would need for our arrival including snacks and complimentary wine. The receiving of the keys and the arrival instructions were simple and flawless. The Apartment building is safe and secure with lots of facilities. I would highly recommend this accommodation. We look forward to staying there again next time we're in Houston. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    The place is great, spacious and with a lot of light. Full kitchen with everything you need (minus an oven tray, which made me throw out some stuff I needed to bake) but overall everything great. Great location, it has a CVS less than a block away, and everything important to me was less than a 10 min car ride or a 15 min walk. There are some beautiful starbucks near, inside executives buildings :)
