Alden Hotel (the old Sam Houston Hotel)-Downtown 1117 Prarie St. TX, 7700
I worked there for about half a year and can honestly say I have never smelled a palce worse than the Hotel Alden. The rates are about $259 per night and they advertise as a “boutique” hotel. Unfortunately for them, a
homeless outreach center was built less than a block away so there are homeless people walking around the building 24/7. I never did go into one of the rooms so I can’t describe the quality of the furniture, carpet, or the sheets. I know Houston isn’t a travel destination but to my fellow Houstonians who may want to spend a weekend in downtown in a classy hotel, please save your money and more importantly your sense of smell. Trust me, that place reeks of sewage.
