Club Quarters Hotel Downtown, Houston
It’s a nice hotel check-in was great super easy fast getting used to the key card to ride the elevator. Something new but I appreciate it. Additional securities is always good. Bed a little less to say the least it’s kind of like a hammock in the middle of the bed.
