Express Inn,Houston

Nothing like in the photo's.Noisy area,room noisy too because the entry door do not seal tight(no rubber seal whatsoever) and all the air escape thru that gaps. Area is not that clean and safe,so this spot is not good for people with kids(Right next door is a strip club,...room has a non restricted porn channel)..I will avoid staying here if not just for one night emergency...
