Innkeeper Response
We thought the guest had booked for one night and charged for one night upon check in. $117. room rate plus tax. At that time the guest did not indicate she had a 2 night booking. We discovered the overbook when she did not check out on Saturday. We called her and offered to book her in a nicer hotel and deliver her bags there. We offered the Icon, Lancaster, Derek, Magnolia. She indicated she was in Baytown so I offered to book her a room there. She refused to allow me to reaccomodate her and booked her own room. I credited her for the first night. She was very angry and no matter what apology I gave she was not willing to accept it. We are sincerely sorry this happened and make ever effort for such thing not to happen. I am sorry for the mistake

Photo Album

The exposed steel structure in the living/ dining area on the main floor is just one of many cool architectural details.  If you enjoy modern architecture and modern amenities this is the place for you.  You can also book this fab. townhome for parties or other evens.Enjoy a view of downtown from your private 4th floor balcony.  The balcony has a table and two chairs & is just a few steps away from your refrigerator.  Enjoy the sunset or sunrise above the trees.
The fourth floor tree house is a spacious bedroom with double high ceilings, clerestory windows and stained wood beams. The room is furnished with a king size bed, two side tables, and a writing desk. Take the spiral stairs with a private door, the grand stairs, or ride the elevator to your own penthouse floorThis is the beautiful new spa room. It has a whirlpool tub behind sliding glass pannels.
