The shower and bathroom area were relatively clean and I appreciated that toiletries were provided. The room was fairly spacious and the decor was thoughtful and more modern than basic motels/inns. The location was convenient as well.

My room could have used more towels for the number of guests in the booking. The room was also short on outlets and the pillows provided were too thick/tall to sleep comfortably on (two guests used their own pillows). The sheets and pillow cases also had stains but they smelled fresh so at least I knew they were likely to be clean. The cleanliness was comparable to or better than the budget airbnbs I've visited in other major cities.

I liked that the shower water pressure was GREAT. The rooms here @Crystal Inn are updated with nice floors, new showers, fancy recess lighting in the room, LED lighting in the showers and above the beds in some rooms. AC works REALLY Well. Good WIFI and a lot of GOOD cable channels. And the price is right $80-$85 a night. This is the best second most affordable motel I have came across in Houston the first is Space City Inn that runs $60-$70 and is very clean there also but stays booked up. Hard to get in there lately.

Was glad that they worked with having a service dog there. The beds were OK. The actual sheets/blankets used aren't going to be preferred for someone who holds that as being important to their sleep. Me, though, I was fine with it.

We stayed at a different room only 3-4 months or and the room felt newer, or something. I'm not sure how to explain it.

Room was nice and clean. We were able to check in early which was nice. Shower was super nice; water pressure great! There was porn when we turned on the TV which I found hilarious (also a plus)

Could have had more pillows and a comforter on the bed instead of thin sheet. But i also understand it is TX so its always hot and moist there.

The location was fine, not too far from the airport IAH. Very clean and large room, large clean parking lot with beautiful greenery around.

There was no breakfast at all. How the light switches worked was a bit complicated, also wrong instructions regarding getting the TV working.

Staff was great. Room was ok as far as cleanliness and location was convenient.

Extremely loud furniture moving noises at all hours above us. It would interfere with our sleep.

The location was very near the facility I had to visit during our stay and the room was quiet being the facility is located off the service road of a busy interstate.

All was very well, nothing to dislike, even the room was quiet being the facility is located off the service road of a busy interstate.

The shower set up is extremely 5 star. The cleanliness of the room is 7.5/10. Some stains bout the room. Due to recent storms, the TV was applicable and there was no where to rehydrate or eat. We checked in around 10P and checked out at 9A. My son and I did great well however.

As far as I'm concerned the only way it could have been better is if it had a pool. It was by far the cleanest I have ever stayed at. The front desk was always very nice with every call. And we had many as I was there prior to surgery at the Texas Orthopedic Hospital so we needed more towels. I recommend Christal and will stay there again. Joyce Aldrich.

No pool.

My husband and I book here quite often. The staff is always friendly and the rooms are always tidy. Great little staycation spot if you're in the area. Have zero complaints for the price.
