An outpost of the Comfort Suites brand, this property has a block-like exterior that looks like other cookie-cutter chain hotels. The interiors, however, hold a few surprises: The lobby is bright and spacious thanks to exceptionally high ceilings, while decor is uncluttered, simple, and pleasant, with attractive wooden flooring, pale yellow walls, and soft pink and blue upholstered sofas and armchairs. The location next to a highway in an unattractive part of town far from the downtown area does not make this an ideal place to stay for leisure travelers, but the headquarters of many companies and corporations are located in the area, which makes this a popular choice with business travelers. 

The hotel is located in Houston’s Westchase district next to the Sam Houston Parkway. The offices of companies like Microsoft, National Oilwell Varco, Halliburton, Jacobs Engineering, ABB Inc., and Chevron, as well as many others, are all within a 10-minute drive, making this a convenient rest stop for business travelers. Located next door is a small shopping center with an attached medical center and pharmacy. It’s a 45-minute drive to reach downtown, but Chinatown is just a five-minute drive from here. PlazAmericas Shopping Center is a 13-minute drive away, and The Galleria, Texas’ largest shopping center, is about a 20-minute drive. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is about an hour away.

Rooms are spacious and pleasantly decorated in a simple and elegant style. A neutral color palette of beiges, grays, and browns is paired with sleek, dark wood furniture, while soft lighting illuminates the spaces. All rooms have a partitioned seating area with a large sleeper sofa as well as amenities that include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, coffeemakers, mini-fridges, work desks with ergonomic chairs, hairdryers, iron and ironing boards, and a recharging device with AC and USB outlets. Bathrooms have the same minimalist and simple style, with faux wood tile flooring and spacious walk-in showers. Note, some guests have issues with ambient noise coming from the nearby highway or neighboring guest rooms, which lack good soundproofing.

The buffet breakfast included in the room rate gets enthusiastic reviews from guests for its quality and variety of options, which includes cereals, eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, pastries, bagels, and fruit. Guests are invited to take part in happy hour, during which beer and wine is served, two evenings a week. The outdoor swimming pool is small and does not offer much privacy due to its proximity to the parking lot and main road. There are several other convenient guest amenities available, including a coin-operated washer and dryer, a coffee station and small store that are open 24-hours, a fitness center, a business center with two computers, a meeting room, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
