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 travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    I chose the hotel mainly because it offered great price in the city center, with walkable distance to Toyota Center. It's located in what seems to be a financial district so it's very quiet and the area seems to be super safe.

    Good selection of amenities, get access to the laundry, the kitchen, and the living/day room, respectful of times. Reminds me of euro style hostels in the hood.
