Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston
Nice hotel. Small bathrooms and sq footage is strangely different depending on what side of the building the room is on. Onsite restaurant is limited - more suited for a quick bite not a meal. Valet parking overpriced considering there are 2 garages nearby. Self check in isn’t actually self check ...
