Hotel Derek is a fancy place. BUT it does more in appearance than in functionality.
I was in the double queen room for 4 nights and the beds were actually full size. My feet hung off the end of the bed!
The bathroom has only 1 light on the side of the mirror so don't expect very good visibility inside the bathroom.
The TV is a LARGE flat screen. Very impressive.
Parking was $20 and added to your room incidentals card. Not cool.
Breakfast in the Valentino Bar is delicious but also expensive. $17 for breakfast. There was a ton of fresh fruit and hot items. It really was quite tasty, but $4.50 for orange juice? WOW.
Location is great. You are in the most accessible area for Galleria and freeway access. This is the third Galleria hotel I've stayed in, and I would still recommend this hotel but I would recommend you find this hotel on Orbits or Expedia or somewhere other than central reservations.
