    The Lancaster was perfect for a grandmother/granddaughter stay to attend an event at Jones Hall.

    Location was perfect for attending event at Jones Hall (across the street). Within walking distance of several options for dinner after the performance. Once we turned the car over to the valet, we did not need it again until we checked out. Excellent room and services.

    The restaurant/dining in the hotel is definitely an afterthought but it definitely wouldn’t keep us from staying again! And soon!!

    The location is amazing. Just enough off Main Street to keep it a bit quieter and more quaint but close enough to the action to walk most places nearby!

    The breakfast was excellent to our taste, as it provided very healthy choices such as fresh fruits, yoghurt, smoked salmon and avocado toast. The restaurant and bar served very good food and wine selections, staff was super friendly.

    There appeared to be only one bartender and barback, although the bar was pretty full when I was there. Good bartender but service was a little slow due to the volume.

    The location was perfect--right in the middle of the theater district. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was spotless and bright with windows on two sides. The complimentary breakfast was delicious.

    We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights while in Houston for a concert. We had a corner suite which was really comfortable. Great bed and pillows. Free water and snacks were a nice touch. Buffet breakfast was decent, and we treated ourselves to the restaurant a la carte option on the last morning, which was excellent. Very helpful and friendly staff.

    The breakfast was just ok. Some of the items served could be improved (very runny eggs), but overall it was nice to have it included.

    The location (theatre district) was excellent. Surprisingly quiet for being downtown! The service was exceptional, from the delightfully kind valet attendants to the attentive and knowledgeable bartenders, David and Bob. David even recommended some great local spots, which were amazing and just what we wanted to experience for our trip.

    Parking is absurd. We parked across the road in the alley parkade for $15 a night, almost 4x less. On the day of our check out housekeeping woke us up ringing the bell at 7:10am. Not sure why they would clean our room if we were departing that day, and that’s much to early to begin cleaning rooms.

    Great location, rooms were lovely. Having breakfast included was a big plus.
