The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa

Very good hotel, nicest reception ever, higly recommend for business trip.

This hotel is very clean and comfortable with a really friendly staff and great service and it is on a beautiful property. The walking path really tops it off!

This was one of the best experiences at a hotel ever. I'm so fortunate that I got to stay here. Everyone was amazing and so friendly. JD in particular was an absolute superstar, but everyone else was also incredible. From the start, with getting dropped off at the entrance, everyone was so friendly and helpful. At the front desk, JD was super welcoming and accommodating. His energy and positive attitude was above and beyond anything I expected, and every interaction was very sincere. He remembered things that I had mentioned even the day before and that was lovely. I felt that way about him and every other person I interacted with here. This is a fantastic place. The room service and turn-down service are also incredible. I hope to come back next year.

As anyone who reads my reviews, I try to be always honest. Since we usually stay at Trip Advisor top rated hotels, it makes reviewing fairly easy. We needed to stay away from our Houston home for one night due to a maintenance issue. I had been to the Spa at the Houstonian sometime ago but never the hotel. We live very close to the hotel and were intrigued by the many excellent reviews. So we stayed there on a Saturday night. The hotel boasts renovated rooms. We were on the second floor in a corner King room, which was supposed to have a view of the grounds. Instead, we had some vegetation outside our large window but also a large piece of rusted equipment and the parking garage! A bit disappointing. The room itself was nice but the furniture, in particularly the small coffee/refrigerator station, looked very worn. Surprisingly, there was no mini bar or snacks available for purchase either. Most five star hotels have a couple of gratis bottles of water in the room. Not here. Two bottles of water were on the desk at $7 a pop. There is a very tiny sundry store in the lobby but the snacks choices are limited. I guess the hotel wants patrons to simply call room service or use the tap water. There was an old school ice machine around the corner from our room which was helpful. Our only meal was breakfast at Tribute, the main restaurant in the hotel. Service was excellent and the somewhat limited menu was good. We did notice the linens, though, were a bit worn, which was surprising. On the plus side, the bathroom was well stocked with every amenity like a five star hotel. The room was spotless, had a night light in the bathroom, and level floors without worrying about a tripping hazard. And most importantly, everyone who works there is helpful and pleasant. We did not use the health club or spa facilities which are probably a draw for many visitors. All in all, a good stay but for almost $800 for a single night, not quite what we were expecting.

Always enjoyable at The Houstonian. Love the grounds and amenities of the club. Staff is always helpful. The woman who does morning coffee is a delight!
