This magnificent hotel is perfectly located in the Downtown area with many eateries at walking distance. The long history certainly makes this an interesting stay BUT this hotel is not without flaws.

The first thing we experienced was difficulty at connecting to the internet and it required several calls and maintenance guy to show up.
The shower was another problem, the temperature would fluctuate every 30 seconds without adjusting any knobs.

There is also a lack of self parking as the hotel only offers valet parking.

The night was certainly interesting as we experienced several noises that were out of place which is understandable due to the buildings extensive age and troubled history.

Hotel icon is definitely a place to stay if you're looking to experience a bit of classic Houston but not if you're looking for modern amenities.
