Hotel Quality Suites Houston IAH Airport - Beltway 8 (Houston, USA)

Given its close proximity to George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the vast number of visitors here felt that this hotel - featuring spacious suites and a speedy complimentary shuttle service - represented excellent value for money.

The bi-weekly manager's reception offered by this hotel is a huge, if unexpected, hit. It's not heavily advertised, so the free drinks - and in some cases, complimentary meals - came as a delightful surprise and raised the profile of this property from nondescript to noteworthy.

Rounding off this property's good points, we have a friendly, helpful staff - with the reception and breakfast teams receiving especially high praise. Speaking of breakfast, a number of guests were very impressed by the quality and variety of the items on offer here.

A number of guests reported spotty or intermittent Wi-Fi access. This was especially disappointing for business travelers.

For some, the appearance of this property - both inside and out - was rather lackluster. Many feel that a full upgrade is needed in order to bring rooms up to modern standards. As for the exterior, many report that this too looks tired and worn. While some guests found the neighborhood in which the property is situated to be a bit sketchy, others were more bothered by the fact that there were no restaurants or attractions within walking distance of the hotel.

While guests loved the property's proximity to the airport, others found that the noise from low-flying aircraft had a real impact on the overall quality of their stay.
