Positief: Personeel en service
Negatief: Voorzieningen
At $150 a night, I expect at least a hint of feigned luxury from a hotel that looks that welcoming off the freeway. WoodSpring Suites Houston 288 South looked promising... but it lands near the bottom for me.
Check-in was quick and clear. But for a double queen room with two guests (my 16-year-old son and me), we were given one key card. I've never seen that before.
The room was okay and had a kitchenette, but no dish soap -- just a dishwasher tablet (overkill for the one fork I used).
No iron or ironing board.
No hand towels.
No soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower.
No closet doors.
No phone.
No USB ports.
The A/C squealed like it had rodents living in it.
The TV setup felt straight out of 1985 with the slow-scrolling cable guide. My son missed the name of a movie and had to wait for the entire channel list to cycle back around. In 2026, why are we still doing this instead of smart TVs with streaming access?
The Wi-Fi barely worked -- maybe five good seconds every fifteen minutes. I ended up driving to Walmart for an HDMI cable and used my phone hotspot just to stream.
No "Do Not Disturb" sign meant a 7:45 a.m. knock from housekeeping looking for a towel request that wasn't mine. Then came three hours of hallway maintenance noise, ending just before checkout.
Hotels shouldn't feel like anxiety endurance tests. This place had potential, but too many avoidable issues made it hard to relax -- especially at this price point.
Wouldn't return.
