Top hotels in Chinatown
ACP Hotel Houston Westchase, MOD Collection by Sonesta
Breakfast was terrible ! Scrambled eggs were cold and no more sausages for me. The service got worse since the 2025 Christmas time we stayed at this APC hotel. I think the owner must have been changed or the management must have been changed because the breakfast was terrible !!
