Room was well equipped, including walk-in closet, bath with great shower, coffee maker, bathrobe, slippers, and chairs. Location is not in walking distance of amenities and attractions, but is easily and quickly accessible by car.

Everything was fine, would visit property again.

comfortable and quiet

no complaints

Cleanliness and polite staff. Very quiet property. Excellent location. Very nice and well maintained. There were so many places to eat and go within 5 minutes away.

It was a bed and breakfast but no stove downstairs. Only one microwave in common area.

cosy, warmth, good location with nearby amenities, ample parking if you drive, friendly and great caretaker

This building is a hidden gem near downtown Houston. It has a fascinating history, design, and ongoing life that adds a delightful sense of intrigue to any visit to the Bayou City. The location is central and convenient to all manner of activities and amenities downtown. The décor is truly one-of-a-kind and nearly a museum in and of it itself, with numerous little discoveries to delight a guest from the art, architecture, furnishings, and more.

Clearly a lot of love, time, vision, personality, and resources have been put into this one-of-a-kind build. However, a consequence of this level of customization and investment means that there are a lot of features of the building that are still being finished, repaired, or designed. The only real problem with that is that it can lead to some assumptions that are not ideal. When we stayed, my wife and I were delighted to be upgraded to a fairy tale suite with a magnificent tower and custom amenities. The bathroom was clearly a custom design with unique fixtures. It took a while to familiarize myself with how the facets and shower worked. Upon initial inspection, I noticed that the sink faucet was a little loose, however it was clearly another custom design (two saucers: the sink and the faucet, flowing water into one another) so I assumed that the looseness was a feature of the design to help a user guide the water. Additionally we noticed blue painter's tape under the facet saucer, so my wife and I again assumed that was supposed to be there, or at least the faucet was still a work in progress, therefore we didn't think to bring up the loose faucet to the staff. Later, after finishing our stay, the staff contacted us about the loose faucet and asked if we knew that the faucet was broken. We didn't think it was broken, though loose, it had turned on just fine with water flowing and stopping as directed, so we were perplexed to hear that it was actually broken. Understandably, the building staff was concerned that we had inadvertently broken the fixture and, because we didn't think to bring it up upon arrival, had no way of knowing that it was loose from at least the time we had arrived. This created an unfortunate circumstance where it was unclear what had happened to that fixture and when.

We could use the kitchen facilities to make breakfast but we never did.

I would have loved to go up to the tower but we didn't have enough time and we weren't sure if it was allowed.

It was an absolutely beautiful building, with a lovely owner. The bed was comfortable, we had a terrace that was relatively secluded for privacy.

That I didn't stay long enough to spend downstairs in the common area looking at all of the knickknacks.

Location was nice but, not worth the trouble Nick has caused.

Staff, Nick was too involved, felt like I had no privacy. There's also cameras everywhere you turn. To make matters worse, Nick is attempting to steal my $100 "hotel hold". Has changed the transaction into another general hotel charge. He made other attempts too but, I blocked them. There were NO damages to the room- I have video. I've reported it to my bank while he has not returned my calls/msgs. He then claimed to Booking.com that I was a "no-show"! Even after I paid $277, an additional $100 hold, have invoices & pics/vids on my stay?! SHADY. I would definitely AVOID if you're looking for a private getaway. Upon arrival you will sign the most absurd policies ever at check-in. They claim to practice C-19 measures but, don't wear a mask. (I can care less for that). The heated pool was not available for use, the elevator to observation deck needs to be reset if you want to use (meaning you have to call Nick), the jacuzzi tub didn't work, very small room.
