I've stayed here several times and always enjoy the atmosphere and the breakfast buffet. There are a number of wonderful sights and restaurants nearby and they are especially accomodating to patients and visitors of the Houston Medical Center. I give the Hotel Ylem a big thumbs up.

Nice interior, clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, decent breakfast options.
One minor improvement I would suggest is having a small tabel or fold-up tray table in the room.
