Sonesta Essential Houston Hobby Airport

For us the location was very convenient. The room was very comfortable and clean. We did like the classic style of the hotel. I am not very fond of the minimalist style that is fashionable today. The style staff at the reception was very kind. There was a young lady who knows exactly was guests need and was born to do this job. MlThe management should listen to what she says.

Certainly one of the Best Medium-Price value deals in the Houston Hobby area. FYI. There are a lot of "dumpy" low cost BRAND NAME HOTELS which don't measure up to their logo. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!! It is a TRUE VALUE in this "overused/abused/run down" former FIRST AIRPORT for civilians in the HouTex Metro... The Staff showed extreme COMPASSION in addition to their WELL-KEPT HOTEL and adequate FREE BREAKFAST!! I even saw/witnessed 3 women supervisors & managers meeting one morning OVER A STRAY DOG/unaccounted--for a little DOG --i.o.w. how to find a SAFE PLACE for this tiny WHITE CHIHUAHUA who was LOST in the HOTEL PARKING LOT right next to BUSY INTERSTATE HWY 45...very close to this raging, mucho traffico, INTERSTATE where this little white dog cd easily have DASHED ON TO and DIED!!! In my opinion, these three employees WENT WAY BEYOND DUTY in saving this tiny dog's LIFE and hooking up if the DOG belonged to one of the HOTEL'S GUESTS?!!! WOW! If THEY, the Staff, were trying to SAVE a LITTLE DOG'S LIFE along w/ their OTHER DUTIES, then THINK HOW WELL THE STAFF WD. TREAT YOU, if YOU had a problem while staying HERE!!! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THAT CONCERN IN A HOTEL BEFORE? I was AMAZED when I brought it to THEIR ATTENTION that there was a LITTLE LOST DOG RUNNING AROUND THEIR SOUTHSIDE PARKING LOT!! They said: "Oh, yeah Dan--thanks for telling us--and they were already ON TOP OF IT!! :-) I was "blown away" BY THAT!!! It blew my mind to actually SEE a Hotel Staff who CARED about a LOST DOG!! GREAT NIGHT'S SLEEP, btw, especially since it is SO CLOSE to I-45 "Going to GALVESTON" Southbound I-45 is AS BUSY AS IT GETS with all the folks wanting to go down to GALVESTON'S BEACHES.

For this was an excellent location since we wanted something close to NASA. Some people said that the Hotel was outdated but to be perfectly honest I like very much when a hotel follows classic style. I hate these minimalist new fashion hotels. I love these ones which might be something of a dying breed. Breakfast is not really a breakfast but you can have something to eat at least. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. Stuff at the reception is amazingly helpful. A nice lady was very embarrassed of the breakfast they were offering and explained it was due to pandemic but were already working on setting up a proper selection. Lobby is spacious.

Clean. Nice staff.

Breakfast was fully adequate for my need. Staff was very attentive and friendly. I was impressed with the helpfulness of the front desk with information and setting up my transportation to the airport. It rained but they kept me dry. The car was prompt and the driver courteous.
