My experience here at The Sam is always amazing. The staff is very welcoming, knowledgable, and they take the time to get to know you. Staying here makes me feel like I don't even want to leave after being here for a weekend or a night. Facilities are clean and highly operable as well. All in all for my wife and I we give this place a 10/10. I book the same room every time we want to get away, and for this holiday season we decided to get rid of the kids and enjoy ourselves!

Absolutely, by far, my favorite hotel in downtown Houston. From the front desk, to housekeeping, to the bar and restaurant, friendly and energetic service. Walking distance to the Astros, Main Street, restaurants and bars. AND, newly remodeled.

I booked the Sam Houston for a quick weekend trip to an Astros game. I'm not entirely sure I'd stay here again, but if I did, it would be after they're done with renovations. Valet (there is no self park option) is around the corner from the entrance to the lobby. It's not a far walk, but at night it's a little sketchy and not well lit. Valet is also through a 3rd party service, and while the first night and following day we had no issues, the morning of our checkout was a mess and we ended up going to get our own vehicle. Front desk did credit our valet charge for the 2nd night, so a solid effort was made to make that issue right. Our room (king deluxe, 9th floor) was nice. A little small, but decent sized bathroom and quality linens and amenities. We requested extra towels multiple times, but never got them. I get it, it's towels and not the end of the world, but having (1) extra bath towel would have been nice while the other 2 hung to dry. No where on the website for the Sam Houston does it say they're performing reservations. While we didn't hear anything in our room (again, 9th floor) it's possible this impacted those staying on lower floors. It also changes valet and check in locations, and appears to have affected the lobby layout and potentially the restaurant. Menu didn't really speak to us (especially breakfast - 98% of the items are eggs) so we did not have the opportunity to really try it out.

The overall appearance did not match the photo layout on the website. It was extremely misleading. The elevators were small, the rooms were small, mattress extremely uncomfortable. The only good thing about my stay was the staff and food. The staff was amazing the moved like a well oiled machine ...I shared my concerns with the general manager and he advised that I reach out to your company with my concerns. The renovation were in process and it spoiled my entire visit. i did not see the notice pertaining to that on the website. At this point I want a FULL refund, due to the website being misleading.

I found this hotel to be musty and somewhat smelly. It gave me headaches and I slept poorly. The restaurant is a full-service restaurant with no buffet option. Service was good the first morning I was there but slow the second morning of my stay.
