Amazing time, quiet and uncrowded. Perfect of a stop before or after a date night. Wish the grounds were lit and open after dusk however.

It is nice collection but they do not allow taking any pictures. What? In every room guards were chasing you. I felt bullied and was not happy.

What a gem. Definitely should be on anyone’s list when visiting Houston. Super friendly and helpful staff. Great architecture. The Bistro was especially good, with authentic Spanish inspired food.
