Hotel Derek is being closed down. And yet it is somehow still available to reserve? No amenities are available, there were hardly any workers, everything was dirty, it smelled so bad, there was a bandaid in the refrigerator, the bathtub would not drain. Everything was in terrible condition and it should not be available to guests.

The staff were friendly, but what i didn't like was no one told us due to them renovating at the end of the month none of the amenities weren't available, which left us scrambling to find somewhere to eat breakfast. It was no pool or fitness center to decompress at the beginning or end of each day. Maybe once the renovations are done it will be a much better place to visit

There was no water (something about the city), the pool was closed (no notice while reserving). The great pictures of a lively bar/restaurant where fake (the bar/restaurant) was closed. Overall, the stay was OK, but far below what they promised and far below what one would expect for two hundred dollars per night.

DO NOT STAY HERE! We missed a flight at IAH and booked Hotel Derek for the night The rate was $$$ parking. Upon arrival the parking garage was filthy and seemed very unsafe so we chose valet park. We also noticed that several guest seemed to be there on an hourly rate! When we entered the hotel a strong smell of gas or something was awful. We pre paid through Expedia or I would have demanded a refund. The room was filthy… dead roaches, non working bathroom door and just not clean. I know this hotel has been bought out, but they should close until the renovations are complete instead of advertising as a 3 star boutique hotel

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL PEOPLE. If you are out of towners and dont kno Im telling you now this property has went down tremendously. The area is great but the hotel is a BIG NO. The pictures shown are 15 plus years ago with the same dirty nasty furniture. The room furniture is torn up and worn down. I live here and didn't kno until after booking and checking in how poorly this hotel has went down and also closing down soon. I was able to get a refund rite away and book else where.

the hotel was quite for the most part. The garage is 30$ per night which is high for parking. But since you pay 30 dollars you would think they would allow you to park on a lower level they blocked off floors 1-5 for valet … secondly once you make it to floor 6 it’s no lights on that level it’s dark which is also a hazard. not to mention trash and wrappers all in the garage. incidentals are 100 per night which is a little insane yes it’s returned if the room is good condition but still. Third the staff was friendly I was unaware of the 100 per night incidental and the receptionist at check in helped guide me that. overall it’s cheaper and nicer places to stay it was experience given the history but I don’t suggest driving your own vehicle or parking there. plus they do have a security guard driving but they was on they phone there entire time.

I booked the room last minute on Hotels.com since I was only in town 2 days and needed something quick and convenient at 1am thats close to a family member’s house. Pros: Location next to CVS, Galleria Mall, plenty of restaurants and stores. Clean/spacious rooms, hallways, lobby. Quiet. Price. Cons: 24/7 Parking garage Security Guard but….the garage is littered with trash!! No lights, pitch black. $30/day Self Park $40 Valet. If it wasn’t for security I would have left the same day. Customer service is hit or miss. For me, it was horrible upon arrival and excellent at departure. The agent as I was leaving definitely made me feel a little better about my stay.
Pitch black garage! I didn’t feel unsafe, but still…ugh, trash and glass everywhere. I will say Security was there 24/7.
Clean lobby, hallways, and rooms.
