I came to Houston for a medical procedure/surgery. Upon check-in the receptionist kindly gave me a room on the first floor for ease of access. The room was clean. It seemed like it was being renovated and a couple things weren’t completely done. I’m a contractor by trade and noticed a loose and missing tile by the tub, a missing strike plate(where the deadbolt laches) on the room door, and a missing threshold under the door(should seal for fire safety). That didn’t affect my stay any, but others would appreciate those details being complete. It would make the stay feel a little more like “home.” The parking lot was well lit and felt secure.
Overall, the breakfast was good, the staff was kind, and the bed was comfortable. Hotel Ylem made for a good stay.
