Recent Reviews in Old Central

5/5 Excellent

"The night hotel staff was extremely nice and helpful. The rooms where what I expected and nice. The elevator definitely needs to be fixed and felt like it was going to break at any minute. The restroom definitely needed a more thorough cleaning and the beds are kind of stiff but was very convenient and not a terrible experience or stay at all. "

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

5/5 Excellent

"We visit the San Luis often, and the property is always well maintained. They’ve recently begun renovations, and the updates are very nice. Everything during our stay was perfect — the service, the amenities, and the overall atmosphere. However, one issue we encountered was with valet parking. When we booked through Expedia, it was advertised as free valet parking, but we were charged upon arrival. When we spoke to the front desk, they informed us that they have repeatedly asked Expedia to remove that claim, as valet is not complimentary. Unfortunately, Expedia continues to list it incorrectly. Just a heads-up for future guests — be aware that valet is not free, despite what some third-party sites may advertise."

My stay at Moody Gardens

"The only thing I didn’t like when we were arrive, there were no valets out there and then we were leaving so come up after my husband had the car already unloaded that was the only thing about staying at your hotel. That was not great for me. I have a hip problem and have a walker, and if I had came with a girlfriend of mine that we travel a lot, we would’ve been waiting a long time for someone to help us because she’s also a cancer patient but other than that, the state was wonderful. Everyone was really gracious very accommodating, but it was lacking on a valets and I know we did come on a Monday left on a Wednesday, but the magnitude of your hotel should have plenty of valets."
