The Lancaster Hotel is a true gem. From its outstanding customer service and prime location to its exceptional quality and elegant design, it’s a place you’ll want to experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the complimentary wine at check-in, along with the thoughtful in-room amenities, added a special touch.

The staff are the most welcoming people and I look forward to seeing them again in the coming year. My favorite amenity is the snack drawer with free drinks, candy, cookies, and chips that are replenished daily. The hotel restaurant is equally outstanding and makes single diners feel right at home.

I wish every hotel was like this. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. It's the same every time we stay. We know we are going to enjoy it and it does not disappoint. What really sets this hotel apart is the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. From the first valet that opens your door, to the doorman, the front desk, the bartenders and waiters, housekeeping, etc. - everyone is smiling, professional and so helpful if you need anything. We don't like to stay anywhere else when we come to Houston.

This hotel is a gem. The rooms are lovely. The fridge is full of drinks and good snacks. The bar/restaurant is top notch. The breakfast is included and like those a fine European hotel would offer.

Property is great and the amenities and snacks that are complimentary were great. However they only checked me in almost at 4PM and only because I went to ask how far they were with my room and check in time is at 3! Did not offer me even a glass of water or anything while I was waiting. The staff is rude! And overall not a great stay…. I would not be here again
