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!

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.

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.

This was my first time staying here. The lobby was under renovation. The front desk staff were all friendly. My room was ready upon arrival. My room was spacious and clean. I had a view of downtown. My bed was comfortable. And the shower had great water pressure. A safe was provided. The street down below was a little noisy at night. The air vent was also a little noisy. But all in all I slept well at night. The convention was just a few minute walk from the hotel. There were many eateries close by. And the train stops were nearby.

Literally just okay Stayed just one night to see a show at the Hobby center and the hotel was close by to the theater so that we could walk there. One of the big cons is that it is valet parking only, and that costs $52 a night, which is unreasonable in my opinion. Next, when we were checking in, the front desk concierge let us know to expect construction noise as workers would be working close to our floor. The manner that this was expressed was very matter of fact, not that maybe there could be some noise or "sorry about that." Just to expect it. Was just surprised that the employee set us up to expect a bad experience? The room is small-- much smaller than what I was expecting for a single King bed suite. Walking in, you'll see the bed in the center of the room and a small amount of space on either side and then the door to the bathroom. The bathroom had lightbulbs sitting on the counter which I found was strange. The bed was fine, suitable for sleeping for one night. I don't think I would choose this hotel again in the future.
