The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria
Such a beautiful hotel! The woman who helped us check in was so nice and helpful. We told her it was our anniversary and she sent us chocolates and fruit to our room for free with a happy anniversary note. Amazing service. Or heater wasn’t working and they sent someone to fix it immediately.
