We were there for the Houston marathon. The front desk clerks were super friendly when we checked in, but the checkout experience was terrible. They offered a 2pm late checkout for marathon participants, but honestly it would have been better to just prepare our stuff and checkout at the normal time than to endure the treatment we received from the checkout clerk Ushi. She was clearly having a bad day, explaining loudly in the lobby to a guest that she was by herself and dealing with all the late checkout marathon guests. When we got back none of our keys worked, so we had to go back down to get them reprogrammed, prompting a scolding about how they were demagnetized so we need to be sure not to put them near a cell phone. Then as we went back upstairs she said “you have 20 minutes!” in a very condescending song-song tone. We got back down at 1:55 and again suffered through her exasperated rudeness, then asked if we could use our key card to swipe to get our card out of the garage. Again in the condescending sing-song, “the gates are open! You don’t need a card right now!” It was really incredible, that’s the word that comes to mind. To treat people like this who just ran a marathon, when you offer late check out and are in the hospitality business - it was astounding. Whoever is in charge should know about this person and put her in a less guest centric position, or I’m sure this won’t be the last review of this nature.

Outstanding service. Setting a standard for others

We parked in a car park and discovered we were right by the hotel (use QR code to pay and not the machine). Very friendly greeting and discovered we got breakfast and they run a mini bus to take guests to local restaurants. David the driver was so good and friendly and picked us as agreed. Consequently a large tip followed!!!! Room was fine and bed very comfortable.

I’ve stayed in many Holiday Inns before but this was the worse experience ever! We had to change rooms 3 times! First the TVs didn’t work in the room. We spend a lot of time with the front desk lady going from room to room trying to find a working tv. Then they had some kind of major leak or something and the ceilings were coming down and then the leak soaked the carpet and messed up my shoes! AND they decided to pull well lift up the carpet. As I stepped off the elevator and turned the corner, I almost tripped and fell. The carpet was up wires and cords everywhere from a blower. It was a terrible experience. The customer service was poor. However it was convenient to the railcar.

Room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant was closed for lunch and dinner, which was disappointing. We had to use doordash or drive to get food.
