Aloft Houston disappoints
Room not ready at check in. Waited 30 minutes. Bathroom sink clogged. No shampoo but 2 conditioners. Only one cup and one bag of coffee. Old coffee filter still in machine from previous guest. In room phone disconnected. Toilet seat ajar and about to fall off. When requesting to have things fixed, the sink was addressed, but nothing else. Not staying here again, and cannot recommend this hotel to others.

Read the reviews!
I should have read the reviews prior to booking. All the problems others had was exactly what happened to us.
1 elevator working along with the service staff filling it with their carts??
Valet was horrible- they only had 1 gentlemen working!
And why have a bar- if it was never open. When I questioned the front desk- she was soooo rude and proceeded to tell me the bartender called in?!? Seriously! All she did was hand me a managers card!?
The price was good but service alone convinced me to never stay there again!!!

Don't stay here
Absolute dump. The pool was a rotten green colour and out of use and the rooftop bar was never open when it should've been. Our room window faced a brick wall and was very rough around the edges. The only saving grace were the valet staff and the guy working behind the bar. It was nothing whatsoever like the pictures.
