Top hotels in First Colony
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Houston by the Galleria
The room was mediocre as far as cleanliness. The chaise was heavily soiled with something brown, and there were stains on the floor in the carpeting. The towels look like some have been used, and the Kleenex was all balled up in the container.
