The ambience of this posh small lovely hotel was hip yet classic. Very clean, polite staff and informative valet service, higher end complimentary breakfast is a must have, easy walking distance to a night life, parks, shopping, arts , music and food. Be informed of the cancellation policy before you book just in case you need it.

Personal Touch!
I love this hotel, I have stayed here about five times. The attention to detail and the personal extras that they give is amazing. They provide a handwritten note to welcome you to your room give free, minibar, snacks, and drinks. The buffet breakfast is delicious.. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Houston or Galveston as a stopover
