This place was phenomenal. The place itself is filled with character and old-world charm. The common areas were beautiful. I loved the grandfather clocks and chandeliers. Upon arrival, we were presented with a tour, including the common areas. It was far too cold for the pool, but definitely something I look forward to in the future. The balconies offer an unbeatable view of downtown Houston.
Our room was the skylight room, which offers a balcony and a jetted bath. It's hard to describe, but the bath had all the functionality of a modern jetted bath, but fit in with the old world charm of the house. The rooms are on the smaller size, but they're more cozy than cramped. The beds were really comfortable, even the futon downstairs. There's a spiral staircase connecting the two.
Breakfast was above and beyond the expected. The tables were already set with plates, and I enjoyed the selection of teas and the large croissants.
The staff was both friendly and professional. I made an error in booking that the staff was incredibly patient and understanding in dealing with.
The price isn't just reasonable- for the amenities, a room here is an absolute steal. I will be staying here for all my future visits.
I would highly recommend this place for a romantic weekend or a getaway.
