The St Regis Houston Hotel

I usually love the St Regis brand. I have stayed at a few and when I had a night to kill and wanted a comfortable place to relax in the midst of a long business trip, I checked into the St Regis. How could you go wrong? Well, this is not your normal St Regis. The place needed a touch up, the staff was not very helpful, and it was noisy. My room was over the loading dock and employee entrance. Behind that was a construction site. Behind that was a train that rolled by every 2 hours. I thought I was in a Red Roof Inn in Wichita. What a waste of money and more importantly, I did not get the good nights sleep I was searching for. Don't pay the extra money to stay here.

It was beautiful, there was a great view. The music was on and there were champagne and strawberries. I loved the bathtub.

I love the Saint Regis. The hotel is a little aged, but that is part of the charm. The only problem, they made reservations for us at a local restaurant and when we arrived the restaurant said they didn't even take reservations. That was very frustrating. I'm not sure who made the mistake, the restaurant or the hotel concierge.

This hotel made me feel elegant: It has a great atmosphere and service.

The location was good. The service was outstanding, I wanted for nothing. If money is not a problem, stay at this hotel.

They had lovely accommodations, great food, and a friendly helpful staff. They always knew our name when entering the building.
