If zero stars were an option, that’s what this place deserves. I’ve stayed at many Hyatt Place locations before, and they have always been great. Unfortunately, Hyatt House Galleria Houston was a complete letdown and easily the worst Hyatt experience I’ve ever had. 1. Rude and unprofessional front desk staff From day one, the receptionist was not welcoming and failed to properly explain where guests are supposed to park. For three days, we parked in front of the hotel because no one told us otherwise. On our last night, another receptionist rudely stopped my wife and our 1 year 3 month old daughter while they were heading to the room and aggressively questioned why we were parking in front instead of the garage. When my wife calmly explained that no one had informed us, the receptionist didn’t respond, made an angry face, and acted extremely unprofessional. No apology. No explanation. Just attitude. 2. No proper hot water There was no hot water in the shower. You literally have to run the water for 10 minutes just to get room-temperature water. Completely unacceptable for a hotel, especially at this price point. 3. Dirty carpets The carpets had large, visible stains. Honestly, it looked disgusting and unhygienic. No idea if it was pee or something else — and that uncertainty alone says enough about cleanliness standards. 4. $25 per night parking fee with zero guidance They charge $25 per night for parking, even though the garage is part of the building. On top of that, staff doesn’t tell you where to park, then rudely confronts you days later. Beware: instead of guiding guests, they seem more interested in blaming them. This experience was shocking, especially compared to other Hyatt properties which have always been pleasant and professional. This location seriously damages the Hyatt brand. Will never stay here again. Avoid if you value basic courtesy, cleanliness, and comfort.

Hotel is dated, rooms are in need of updates. However, I will say the shower in room 334 was clean and functioned correctly. I was told by the front desk staff that since I booked my reservation through a 3rd party agency, my Hyatt Discoverist privileges would not apply - preferred room option. So, I was given a room with horrible traffic noise from a nearby freeway. NOT TRUE! Privileges apply regardless of who you book the reservation. Point may not be added! Breakfast, cheap powdered eggs, bread that was hard/old… obviously a budget short cut by local owner. Why bother in that case?
