I'm not sure how I skipped writing a review of the Magnolia until now, but this is definitely my "go to" hotel when I'm in Houston. It may not be a 5 star hotel in the rule book, but just about everything here is perfect. The rooms are nice, but what really sets the Magnolia apart is the service. From the valet, to front desk, to bar staff - I've always felt welcome. The only thing to watch out for is the price. It's usually in line with other luxury downtown hotels, but occasionally it will spike up due to demand (which is completely understandable). It's a great hotel - but not great enough that I'll pay substantially more than I would for another comparable hotel in the area.
Recently I brought a group of volunteers to Houston to visit NASA as a thank you for their hard work over the year. We needed a place to stay that would show our appreciation to the volunteers but would not break the bank. The Magnolia group sales worked with us to meet our small groups needs. Our volunteers loved the hotel rooms, beds and especially the showers (great water pressure). As a non-profit organization, I appreciated the inclusion of the welcome cocktail reception, the milk and cookie bar at night and the full hot breakfast in the morning. Free internet also provided an extra benefit for a good price.If your travels take you to Houston, I would recommend the Magnolia Hotel.
This is a great boutique hotel in a gorgeous historic buidling right in downtown. Every view is a good view. The staff go above and beyond! I recently booked a conference here and the feedback from everyone was that the hotel exceeded expectations and made everything simple. I have stayed here before for a romantic weekend wth my spouse. It is within walking distance to events and restaurants. This trip we brought the kids for a one-night get away, even though we live in Houston. They loved milk & cookies. Our room was spotless and decorated in a modern style. There was an event going on - maybe a rehearsal dinner - and everyone seemed to be having a great time. It is a nice mix of people and as always, the staff was speedy and helpdul. We even used the pool and hottub and got some fantastic pictures of the city skyline!
LOVED the size of the bathtub - perfect for a relaxing bath, great breakfast buffet - plenty of choices, both healthy and not-so-healthy (eggs, bacon!!!, sausage, oatmeal, cereal, fruit, yogurt, waffles), milk and cookies was a nice treat at night, and the staff was really nice, even though they had a surprise lobby remodeling starting the day we arrived. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the rooftop pool and hot tub were nice, except we only got in the hot tub once, and it was scalding hot. I'm sure if we had notified the staff, they would have done something about it. It was a nice, relaxing downtown hotel in a great location - only about a block from the light rail, super easy to get around town. If I'd stayed longer, I'm sure I would have spent some time in their library on the second floor - yes, they have an actual library, with readable books. Supercool place to stay.
Love this hotel. The staff is always so nice and friendly and they are always super accommodating. Love that they give you a nice full breakfast in the morning with eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, cereal, bagels, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy, fruit, and more...!!! And at night it's nice to get a 2 free drinks and then later milk and cookies!! The BAR staff is A+++, if your bartender is Billy or Jess, tell them Ashley from CT says Hi!! They are the best! The food selection here is pretty good as well. The rooms are clean, the gym is clean as well and has towels and is never crazy packed, maybe a little more in the morning then the evening.
A great place to stay. It absolutely MADE our trip to Houston the great trip that it was. The hotel had character, was very comfortable, right in the middle of everything, and the goodies (you've read about them all already, no need for me to elaborate) are impressive. Only complaints regarding the free stuff -- oh, of all the things to complain about -- was that the breakfast was ultra-busy and the hot food didn't really appeal to me, and I wish there was a better choice or selection of beer at the happy hour. Miller Light? Bleh. Anyway... Service was exceptional (really, it was. They care here, they really do). The rate we got was amazing, especially considering all we got for it. Most impressive of all, the rooftop pool was breathtaking and an incredible treat, especially on those hot days (aren't they all in Houston?).A wonderful place to stay and an incredible value.
I was in Houston on business for just 3 nights. The Magnolia is probably one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The room was lovely, very generous proportions in both bedroom and bathroom. Very clean with all expected additions including coffee maker (stayed at Four Seasons last year and didnt even have a kettle in the room!! - not good if you are British!). Breakfast was very relaxed buffet - would have liked the odd tomato but realise I was in the US :-) Reception staff very helpful with all my computer/printing needs. But the Valets were exceptional - sorted me out with taxis and recommendations for my 1 hour off for shopping, called shuttle when late - and generally looked after me!I had a great stay and will definitely be back here if lucky enough to visit Houston again.
We were in town for our son"s wedding. The valet service was quick & convenient except for a small ding on the passenger-side door which I don't think was there before. The check-in was fast and she was very courteous explaining all the hotel amenities. We had a mini-suite with a kitchen & huge walk-in closet & great views of the city! The roof-top pool & hot tub are awesome with amazing views of the city. We didn't have time to use the pool & hot tub at night, but next time we will. The hotel was very clean & quiet. The maid service excellent & very friendly. The hot breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. I really liked the oatmeal and waffles!. The only negative was the elevators were slow Sunday morning when we were leaving but they had already had over 200 check-outs! We had to wait about 30 minutes for a luggage cart so you might want to call early if in a hurry. I would definitely stay here again!
If you are looking for a home away from home, the Magnolia Hotel in Houston is the place to stay. With the abundant morning breakfast, friendly staff and clean rooms this is one of my top hotels. In the early evening they have complementary wine and beer and cookies in the late evening. One of my favorite things about the hotel was the free shuttle to anywhere within the two mile radius of downtown Houston. Public transportation is good, but when it is hot and humid, an air conditioned shuttle is the place I like to be. It is a 15  20 minute walk to Minute Maid Park, the Convention Center and Toyota Center, but as I said, I would take the free shuttle. Dont forget to tip your friendly driver!
I was in Houston for one day and gave it a shot. Nice place, with a reasonable rate. Spacious rooms and free internet that didn't require an IT degree to get working. Evening reception is always a nice touch. I can't comment on the normal lounge area though as it was closed due to a wedding. The reception was held in the breakfast area. Good showers are a big deal to me - this one was very good. Plenty of volume, nice showerhead, and no puddles in the tub. There isn't a self park associated with the hotel. I rarely valet may own cars, so there is a self park garage 1 block away at rates better than the valet.
What a nice property with a lot of amenities, nice staff and good location in downtown Houston. Food is average, rooms adequate with good AC (needed year round in Houston). We stayed two nights and the Saturday night stay was crazy. Elevators jammed and no way to valet park. Lots of confusion. Pool was crowded too. Sunday was a dream - none of the troubles from Saturday. Ice was only on a couple of floors -kind of inconvenient. Breakfast pretty good - nice for families. The happy hour was good but store bought cookies not great. All in all, a nice stay. They really try to make you feel comfortable. Need more staff and expanded facilities when functions like weddings are going on at the hotel.
We selected this hotel to have a special celebration for the 60th bd party. Because of the hour we decided to stay. We are blown away with the hotel, service, location, and treatment. We had a super blast at the party but the rooms were so special--one of the rooms had a stove top included in the suite. We had a wonderful time and the staff were totally accomodating. This was truly a wonderful find and one that we will certainly use again and again. If you are in the Houston area, you need to make this one of your must dos!!! Quality and value can not be beat. Add this to the supreme location and you have a winning combination with Magnolia.
Really enjoyed my stay here on a business trip recently. I stay in over 100 room a year in hotels so I'm very particular with where I stay. A friend had recommended the Four Seasons in Houston for my trip. I stayed one night at the Four Seasons (that's in another review) and I can say that the Magnolia blew the Four Seasons out of the water. The room I got was a huge king suite. It was bright, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was free and added to the value of the room rate I paid, which was half that of the Four Seasons and other similar hotels. Valet was fast and friendly. Only thing I would say that needs a little work is the front desk. They weren't very warm or friendly when I checked in, but they got the job done so that's a start.
My husband and I stayed one night at the Magnolia Hotel and we wished we could've stayed longer. The hotel is beautiful and modern and our room was spotless. Location is excellent, in the heart of the city, so valet parking was a plus. We weren't able to make the happy hour, but bedtime milk and cookies were a fun perk! Breakfast was included in the price and we were satisfied with variety and taste. Our only complaint would be that there aren't enough elevators for a hotel of the Magnolia's size, but that's not really something that is easily fixed. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay- the price is hard to beat, especially with all of the wonderful amenities.
We stayed at the Magnolia in downtown Houston due to a wedding reception held there, but we will definitely stay again any time we are in Houston. Right from the valet parking when we pulled up to the front, to the smallest detail at the wedding reception, the staff was professional and friendly throughout. The room was large and comfortable and quiet. Although the safe didnt work and the refrigerator was stocked with items for purchase, they did have in-room coffee as well as room service, which we didnt use. They offer a nightly reception in the lobby offering complimentary beer, wine and sodas, and then later set up a cookie bar with delicious cookies, coffee and milk. The breakfast serves enough items to find something you will like and is kept fresh. The location is downtown and near the rail-line, so if you wish to get around Houston while staying here, it would be very convenient.
I stayed at this hotel for one night on a business trip to Houston. I have to say, this is probably one of the best (if not the best) business-oriented hotels I have ever stayed at. The rooms were very nice - comfortable bed, lots of space, large bathroom. Beyond that, the service and amenities at the hotel were fantastic. The hotel offers a free "happy hour" for all guests where you can have two free alcoholic beverages each evening in their lounge area. Breakfast is also included in the price and while not a huge selection, I found the quality to be very high (sometimes quality is more important than quantity!). I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting downtown Houston.
My fiance and I stayed at Magnolia Hotel for one night in May 2012. The location near Minute Maid Park was excellent, and the hotel itself was phenomenal. The room was large and well-appointed and the bed was fantastic. Free perks such as breakfast and evening receptions added value to our stay. The breakfast area was busy so it was somewhat hard to find a seat, but the food was continuously stocked so it was not a problem to have a lot of traffic. Rooftop pool was on the small side but the views were wonderful.The one issue we had was that we went to the hot tub in the morning and had some jewelry tarnished because too much chlorine had been added. We raised the issue with the management, who resolved the matter promptly with a small discount on our bill.
The staff was courteous and friendly, and this means everyone. The parking valet was the best I have ever encoutered and I took my car out frequently. They seemed to know me and they were just fabulous. Also the valet was great. I had a fair about of luggage and am mildly disabled (not that they could tell) but from the time they took it out of my car to the time thay put it back in (2 1/2 days) they were very careful with my things and were really helpful and friendly. The frony desk put up with my many phone calls to tem with a smile even when it was 3PM and they were mobbed with people checking in. The maid was also pleasant as I was in the room when she cleaned. I just can't say enough about the people and the hotel and it's amenities were outstanding. I will definatey stay there again, even though I live in Houston. Wonderful!
We did a girls weekend in Houston and the Magnolia Hotel was the PERFECT choice!!! Very centrally located to everything you want to do in downtown Houston. The shuttle/towncar service around the area was great to have, but a lot of the places we wanted to go to were just a few blocks away. The staff was wonderful, very polite and helpful. The evening reception with complimentary happy hour was great! The complimentary hot breakfast buffet with eggs and bacon and everything you could possibly want for breakfast was incredible!!! The room was clean and large, we had plenty of room for 4 girls to get ready for a night on the town. There were two wedding receptions going on at the hotel the night we stayed and our room was so quiet, never heard any noise from neighbors or anything. Also, you should definitely check out the rooftop pool and hot tub, AMAZING views of downtown at night and during the day.
We had a wonderful stay at the Magnolia Hotel Houston. We came to Houston to attend Astro baseball games. Minutemaid Park is only several blocks from the Magnolia. Although it is an easy walk, the hotel has a complimentary shuttle that will take you to downtown destinations including Minutemaid Park. The Magnolia is also a short walk (3 blocks maybe) to the Light Rail that we took to the Museum District. Also easy access to the underground tunnels and shopping in Houston. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable with its own temperature control. The bedding and bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The wireless internet was complimentary and worked well for us. The hotel staff was very friendly and the complimentary breakfast buffet was delicious. Thumbs up to the Magnolia on all counts.
We have stayed twice at this hotel and have nothing but great things to report. Check in, friendly and fast. Rooms, bery spacious, clean , comfy bed and clean lines throughout. Complimentary happy hour and cookie time, need I say more. And it's really free, (2 drinks per person, choose between red/white wine or miller lite, and cookie time with multiple selections of great soft cookies). Complimentary town car service was very quick and clean, nice cars. Bartender was great and friendly with some suggestions for dinner and night life. Front desk, great and quick service, we had a prob with the safe and the handyan was there within 3 mins and fixed it and out the door in 2 mins. Valet, quick service and never felt neglected or second in line. Great location, we were able to walk everywhere for everything except for late night food.  I would recommend this hotel over and over again. Thanks for the great and refreshing customer service:)
If you need a total hotel experience as a business traveler in downtown Houston, look no further. This is THE hotel to book. Great small hotel with all the amenities for a business stay. Location is excellent with many quality restaurants nearby. Free Internet. Great customer service, wonderful free breakfast. I don't get reviews that are dissatisfied with the breakfast! The atmosphere is relaxed and the rooms are fabulous. I am staying in a signature suite-hard to find in downtown Houston. It is really a small apartment that feels like home. I'm moving back to Houston but would stay here for a romantic weekend away from home with my husband just to get away and have a nice weekend in a hotel that feels like a step back in time. I have traveled all over the world and this is at the top of my list as one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had.
My husband and I were in town for a wedding and stayed 2 nights at the Magnolia. The hotel is beautiful, the rooftop pool was sparkling clean with towels rolled up on chairs waiting for you and the view gorgeous. Now to the room - Nice big tub, bed and bedding was heavenly. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Close to theaters, bars and restaurants and what I think was the Astros baseball stadium. Complimentary drinks at happy hour, free breakfast buffet and milk and cookies a nice bonus. Beautiful old church across the street. They provided a car to take us to the reception downtown and I realized once we were there I had forgotten the wedding gift in my room. I figured it was a long shot, but called the concierge and thought I'de ask the impossible. They picked up the gift from my room and brought it to me at the bar within the hour! I love this hotel and will be staying there every time I go to Houston.
I have stayed here twice now for business trips. This hotel has far exceeded my expectations each time. The hotel is very modern and clean. The offer great services such as happy hour, milk and cookies and they have a great fitness room. One added benefit is the pool and hot tub are on the roof of the hotel overlooking downtown Houston. In fact my associates saw my hotel the first time there and all 9 of them changed their hotel to the Magnolia when we went back the second time!! Plus the shuttle providing service downtown is another great resource for the Magnolia Hotel. If I am back in Houston, I will definetley be staying at the Magnolia Hotel!!
I was very concerned with the noise level of this hotel but I had a great night's sleep while staying at the Magnolia. The location was great for my purposes (my son's band played at a venue around the corner) and there the restaurant selection was excellent. The hotel was very crowded (there was a wedding plus....) but I must say despite my concerns and having a room on the street side, I had an excellent stay at the Magnoila. The breakfast was great, cookies and milk, happy hour were great and I will stay here again. Warning: I ordered veal from a restaurant across the street. After a 20 minute wait the waitress informed me that no veal was available. When I asked for my bill, she said it was $5.00 for my salad. I gave her a $20 and he gave me $6 back. I ate a restaurant next to my son's venue, MB Trattoria and it was some of the best gnocchi I have every had (I travel to Italy frequently). I am still craving the gnocchi.
Service and valet were both excellent. We came to stay on a busy weekend. There were a couple of weddings and a half-marathon event happening so the hotel was very busy. The staff seemed to take it all in stride and provided excellent service for us. When we checked out, there was a huge mob at the valet so we expected to have to wait a while for our car, but they had it ready for us in a matter of minutes. Bed was comfy and bathroom was spacious, but might have preferred a double sink. Movies on demand were expensive at $15.00. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. Cookies and milk before bed was a nice treat! We would definitely stay here again.
If you are having a conference consider having it at the Magnolia. I attend / speak at many conferences and the food is typically ...well, typically conference type food. The conference meals at Magnolia were memorable! Very good. When at the Houston location take a trip up to the workout room. Not to workout though...there you will find an access door to the roof top pool that offers the best night sky view of Houston that you will ever see. We ended up having our breakout group discussions on the roof top in the evening as the ambience was so great. The rooms are very spacious...and the bathrooms are larger than my condo (all relative ofcourse as I live in NY).You will enjoy your stay...
I decided on The Magnolia based on reviews. I have to say they were right on. I really can't say anything bad about it. I stayed there NYE for a concert that was at the House of Blues. The location couldn't have been better. I was able to walk back after the concert. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I was able to get in to my room early which was great for an afternoon nap. Plus the curtains were able to block out all light. The room was beautiful! I didn't feel like I was staying in a hotel at all. Very modern decor. The bathroom was also very updated. Huge roman tub. The bed was comfortable and great pillows. I was very pleased with room service. I recommend the pizza. Elevators were slow but it was a very busy night/day and most who were checking out on New Years Day were doing so right at check-out time. This didn't make my stay any less wonderful. I would definitely stay here again.
My wife and I stayed here for 5 days during a recent International Quilting Convention. The location was perfect. We could walk to the convention center and many of the downtown restaurants. I expecially enjoyed the oversized room as I spent a lot of time there working during the day. The room and bathroom were clean and neat and bed was comfortable. The free morning breakfast buffet was also a bonus as service was fast. The free wine and beer in the evening seemed to be a big hit. The only minor complaint was the hotel seemed to be understaffed. But, perhaps the big conventions in town taxxed their services. We'll definitely stay here again when we return to Houston.
On arrival, staff were welcoming; we had completed pre-arrival check in via internet so expected we'd avoid lines to get our key, etc, but not so. There was a long line. Once we had the key cards, staff got us and our luggage to our room, valet-parked the car. Our room was spacious and comfortable. I am disabled and found the height of the bed a problem--really high! We were in Houston for a family wedding and didn't get to do the happy hour or evening cookies, etc. Lobby was a comfortable place to visit with family members. Breakfast provided a wide range of choices and food was delicious and plentiful! If we are back in Houston, we'd look forward to staying in the Magnolia!.
Wonderful hotel in the heart of downtown Houston. The staff is excellent, from the valet station, to the front desk, to the lounge, and all points in between. They were all professional, helpful, and created a relaxed atmosphere for their guests. The lobby and lounge have very pleasing sleek, modern decor. The lounge on the second floor seems to be the heart of the operation, serving breakfast (which was fabulous), evening cocktails, and late night milk and cookies. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and well-appointed. The car service available for guests to and from points downtown is most convenient! And there is a multitude of places to eat or hang out in the evening. Note: There is a charge for use of the business center, except to print boarding passes.
We had received a 50% off coupon last Christmas after bringing toy donations to the Magnolia for a local charity during a holiday stay there. We decided to take the boys for a local getaway before the start of school. We had a suite room with a kitchenette which was ideal. The lounge now has a dinner menu so we enjoyed the wine reception as well as dinner. The pool and hot tub on the roof were very relaxing for all of us. Then back to the lounge for nightcaps and cookies and milk at the evening reception. The beds were so comfortable as always and the kids enjoyed watching TV from the sleeper sofa. The breakfast buffet was fresh, hot, and plentiful. All of our service was great as always. This is my favorite place to stay.
I stayed at the Magnolia and arrived expecting to not be impressed. However, I was really very pleasantly surprised. The room was a good size and very nicely appointed, especially the bathroom. The room was very quiet and I did not hear other people's doors slamming, which seems to happen in other hotels sometimes. Things were in good condition and the staff was always courteous and attentive. The one minor negative would be that the included breakfast buffet is not really all that convenient to the seating area, but that really is minor. I made use of the hotel car to travel back and forth to the convention center several times. They were very prompt. All in all, I thought that the Magnolia is an excellent hotel and a tremendous value.
Spent the weekend of 01/06 in Houston at the Magnolia hotel. Stayed previously at the Icon. It was bought by Marriott and I prefer smaller companies. The magnolia is fresh, a bit modern yet homey. Our room 1818 was large with a king bed, a sofa, chair and 42 flat screen. It also had a cooking area and separate dressing area. A large closet with in room safe. Cocktail hour, cookies and milk and a hot buffet breakfast were all included and above average. There are many local eateries and drinking holes within walking distance. You can park on street from 7pm-7am and all day Sunday across the street no charge. The light rail is two blocks up. It runs to museum distrct and out to reliant. If flying into Houston rent a car...you can score a deal for less than $50/weekend and roundtrip cab from airport is $100! The only disappointment was they ran out of white chocalate and macadamia nut cookies.
We stayed at the Magnolia for a couple of nights as part of a weekend package deal. It was a very nice hotel. We had a king suite which had a kitchenette and a little living room area...and the room was very large and clean. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The roof top pool area was very nice and had a great view...we had the best view of the pre July 4th fireworks from the stadium. The breakfast was included but it was not the greatest and could be improved upon...the selection was small and the food wasn't that good...even the breads and rolls didn't seem very fresh. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give breakfast a 3. But they offered free coffee, tea, milk and freshly baked cookies every evening and it was great!!!! If I ever go to Houston again I wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Magnolia.
The Magnolia is a very good boutique hotel option in downtown Houston. I like to stay in non-chain hotels when I travel for personal reasons as opposed to your standard Marriott, Hilton, etc. This fit the bill. It was walking distance from Minute Maid and a short ride/slightly longer walk to the Pavilion for dining and night life.I had a group doing a guys weekend and we booked the Ross Sterling Presidential Suite which was an excellent room. It had to have been around 1,500 sq ft and very easily fit four guys. There was a great deal of common space with a full size dining room, living room, and kitchen which allowed plenty of room to hang out in between different outings we were taking.All in all, a very enjoyable stay and a really good hotel.
I travel about four or five times a year for business for a week at a stretch and this was one of the best hotel experiences I've had. Located in the business district of Houston, the room was clean and comfortable and the ammenities made the stay really special. These include complimentary wireless (12 free hours); two-drink happy hour; cookie buffet, and warm breakfast. Because the dowtown area can get a little dull at night, the hotel offers a complimentary van service that will take you to any of the restaurants or attractions listed on their downtown map. You can also get a great view of the city at night from the rooftop whilst enjoying a swim in the pool or dip in the jacuzzi. The hotel is compact, but affords the traveler with many comforts. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the room is clean and comfortable. King size bed, basic cable service, coffee maker, etc. The shower had awesome pressure and the water was always hot! Great soap and shampoo...overall, just a dynamite hotel that had me feeling fresh and ready to tackle the Houston heat and humidity in July!
A little dissapointed that only wired was offered complimentary in the rooms, but nice to have it on the lounge level anyway. The shuttle driver and bellman on Monday morning were exceptional. Billy, the bartender, was SENSATIONAL. I would come back to the hotel just for his amazing hospitality, personality and service. I liked the happy hour, but would have liked a cheese and cracker pairing option. Beds were very, very comfy and the bathroom was great - the shower/tub were a very nice design. Loved the lotion in the bathroom (you'd be surprised how many hotels miss this). The eggs on Monday morning for breakfast were THE best hotel eggs I've ever had. LOVED the cookies and milk in the evening - what a brilliant idea! The rooftop view (and accesibility) were the WINNER of this stay for me. Thank you for offering this to the guests. I felt very cared for during my stay. Great staff.
This hotel rocks. Complimentary shuttle service, American breakfast , cocktails in the evening, cookies at night, power workout room and just a real feeling of warmth. Very non-descript outdoor entrance in the middle of downtown. But inside, was wonderful and inviting. It is very close to many eating establishments. If you are looking for a shopping hotel, I would look elsewhere as there are limited fine stores in the downtown area, but for business it is a no-brainer. Parking is $25.00 a night. I was there during the week and on the weekend. OMG some of the most beautiful people were staying for weddings and dinners. Views of the downtown were quite nice and there is a church across the street for those that desire. The pool is on the roof and is far from olympic size, but the workout room is comp and is quite top notch. Don't forget the comp shuttle service within 10 miles.
We stayed here this past weekend to go to Minute Maid Park to see the Astros vs. Red Sox game. It is very close to the ball park. The lobby is really nice and we had good customer service from the front desk. We also had great customer service from the valets. They are really nice and helpful and fast. Our room was really nice. It was by the elevators on the 14th floor so we were worried, but it was a very quiet room. The breakfast in the morning has scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, cereal, lots of fruit, etc. It is a very nice breakfast. We really enjoyed staying here and found it very convenient for the things we wanted to do in Houston. The only issue was the slowness of the elevators. There was a wedding in the hotel and also a lot of baseball fans, so that might have impacted the elevators. There is a pool and a gym up on the roof and the roof has nice views of Houston and the ball park.
