Houston Hoteller i River Oaks

A family emergency brought me to Houston, and I booked my room online. I loved the urban modern decor. Boutique and trendy - and the decor is my style, but some fixtures were a little dated. Location and self (or optional valet) parking were very convenient. Lots of hidden fees: resort fees, "misc tax", parking tax; plus upon check in - after already paying my entire reservation (4 nights), my CC was charged $100/night for "misc". I was prorated some of the $100/nt, but it was still an unexpected expense that I was not aware of $100/nt fee when I booked - or I probably would've cancelled my reservation. Also reserved for 4 nights, but when I tried to extend my stay 2 extra nights, the room rate was much more per night. They did allow me a late check out to decide if I wanted to pay the increased rate - which I greatly appreciated. I ended up checking out of the Derek, and stayed in another hotel in the galleria district those 2 extra nights.

love the surroundings,the quietness and cleanliness of the place...the staff was also wonderful and friendly especially the bartender...although there was one staff that doesn't know the first thing about customer service not really towards me but what I've seen with other guests on 2 occasions.....overall I love the place but there's a few things they can work on because of their price

Hotel Derek made my money worth, that we even decided to stay an extra day and the front desk workers where very professional and flexible with check out hours.

Comfy beds. Easy check-in. Must pay for parking due to location.

The room was clean and spacious. Majority of the staff were great but a couple lazy ones. I would definitely stay there on my next trip . Few staff did short cut on cleaning room but the room was done very well most of the time. Overall the Hampton was great.

Staff was very friendly Heated pool was nice on a cool evening Very close to Galleria

Quiet, adult like facility. No complaints Not much in adult relaxing , for example hot tub or workout updated.

liked the nice room, the breakfast and the coffee bar.
