Americas Best Value Inn & Suites Bush Intl Airport

I had to spend the night by the airport and reading around reviews of all the "cheap" hotels by Houston airport, especially given their prices, I was very disappointed. I was scared because many had comments about hair in the beds, bugs on the walls or even in food, bad breakfasts, etc. I was pleasantly surprised, though, by the cleanliness in this hotel and niceness of the room. The room and bathroom seemed to be in great condition, albeit the carpet being a pretty funky design, lol. The bed was mostly clean and was comfortable, I feel I slept great and there wasn't a bug in sight. The bathroom was nice and spacious and clean, and was decorated even better than the bedroom lol. The hot water worked perfectly. The faucet on the shower shoots the water at you pretty roughly but I honestly felt nice and reinvigorated after. The AC worked splendidly even from on the other side of the room and the fridge was in good condition but empty so I could have stored to-go food if I'd wanted. The guy seemingly running the staff was professional enough and I believe he was probably the owner or manager. The shuttle showed up promptly and got me both from and to the airport wonderfully. They asked me when checking in if I wanted a wake up call and I believe they set it up then since it was automated. I did get the wake up call though I think it was a couple minutes early (just a couple, and better early than too late). The cleaning staff seemed nice :) The hotel was definitely the nicest at this price and I was a little skeptical because it had less reviews than its competitors and a higher rating, but I believe the rating's higher for a reason -- it was clean and it was comfortable. Everything I needed to work (bathroom, outlets, bed, ac, etc), worked and the room was wonderful. I do have to say I didn't end up using the Wifi or the breakfast so I can't comment much on that. Thanks for the stay! And for getting the shuttle right over to me....

I reserved a king room, and was given a double room. I then asked if there were any king rooms available, but there weren't, but then that shouldn't have been what was offered on Booking.com. The double room was clean and spacious though, so I didn't mind this time. There's also a $20 deposit coming into the place, but you do get it back. The reception staff weren't mean, but they weren't exceptionally nice either. There is no free or even reasonable late check out (if you want to late check out even 30 minutes late it's $15, if much more than that price goes up so). There was still hairs on the lower half of the mattress, so the part you wouldn't see sleeping on, but, ick, felt when sleeping. There were only like two but still, kind of gross. Other than that, it was really clean and it could have been way worse. Throw away the hairs and it's a clean mattress and room, just the throwing away of the hairs should have already been done by them, not me. Again, other than that, really clean and good condition room, so much that it impressed me. Also, still a bit expensive in my opinion. It's even more money outside of booking.com, too, apparently. This is more a complaint with the state of things in America vs other places I've been. It's much harder to find cheap reliable places to get through the night here. Breakfast only went till 9 and while I didn't try it, I venture to say the other reviews are probably true about it, and that it's overwhelmingly simple. There's a waffle house practically next door so I just went and ate there for breakfast. The wifi's an open connection, which isn't very secure. I never actually connected to it, so I can't comment on its speed or connectivity (good or bad). I'd say the positives definitely outweighed my negatives here.
