Luxury Houston Apartment: Rooftop Pool, City Views & King Beds Near Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The property was great for our visit to MD Anderson. It could use a kitchen towel and hand towels in the bathroom. Another coffee cup would have been helpful too. The building had problems with the fire alarms going off randomly-the first time in the middle of the night. Other than those small suggestions, we enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the pool."
