Extended Stay America Suites Houston Med Ctr Braeswood Bl

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this main stay was excellent!! Due to a fall and being a guest on her own, I ended up needing LOTS of help. I don’t ask for help lightly, so for the staff to recognize that I was struggling and insisting on me letting them help without asking, was a God send!!! There were about 5 different staff members who helped me at different times. They included a cleaning staff, maintenance staff, guest check-in person, along with 2 others whom I didn’t recognize their departments. Everyone went out of their way to provide help which prevented me from having to call an ambulance. Thank you all for going ABOVE & BEYOND!!!"

Houston Towers Inn Downtown Museum District Med. Ctr NRG - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This definitely a different experience than your typical hotel--it's a weird old house with antique furniture and gothic turrets. Everything was clean and well maintained though, and the staff was quite friendly. Breakfast was adequate. Essentially it consisted of complimentary access to a well-stocked kitchen. The pool was not the most meticulously maintained but it was clean enough that we felt comfortable swimming, and the pool area is pleasantly shaded and private. Access in and out of the property is through a gated driveway. The parking is a little tight but ultimately it was easy to get in and out, and the location is very convenient to the museum district."
