Opening in February 2021! The 267-room Blossom Houston Hotel features a refined collection of pet-friendly hotel rooms and suites in the heart of the Houston Medical Center. Minimalist style, lunar-inspired color palettes, plush textures and plenty of natural light come together to create an ambiance that relaxes and soothes following a day of travel, meetings or exploring Houston.
Hidden gem
Reviewed By Mfree71I realize being in the Medical Center, Blossom is probably well known. But as a Houston native staying here the first time due to a housing emergency, I never knew it existed. I had to find a nice place to stay that was pet friendly. I didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised and the friendly Texas welcome I received. My room was very well appointed with a huge flat screen TV and the Astros game on. The front desk check in was easy and I was informed I’d get a free glass of sparkling wine upon check in! My little pooch seems very happy and content too. I will definitely recommend this place for out of town guests or anyone who needs to be close to the Texas Medical Center.

CONCHOLOGISTS OF AMERICA CONVENTION
Reviewed By C5387KJlindapWhat a wonderful experience! All facets of the convention were wonderful, from food to the room accommodations to the meeting rooms. Staff was so helpful; from the hotel porters, the docents at the attractions, to the wait staff at The Cafe, where the ongoing joke about Sophia Loren was so much fun! This is a wonderful place for a convention or a family vacation. Thank you to everyone for making it so pleasant!

Nice hotel, good stay tainted by horrible valet experience
Reviewed By cullenc690Checked in on Friday 6/3 for a wedding and checked out Sunday 6/5. The lobby, bar, and banquet rooms were all very nice. Hotel staff was very friendly, cordial, and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Pool was great! Service at the wedding was top notch. The shower was severely lacking in water pressure, to the point where I felt like I was in a public gym, but I had no issue overlooking this. However, my overall very positive experience was greatly reduced with all 3 of my interactions with the onsite Valet. First encounter: Checking in, the wait for valet service was 25 min. Would have parked myself but there was no clear instructions on how to do so. Valet attendants showed no hustle (a lot of confusion, standing around, yelling, overall chaos) and then I even witnessed an attendant driving a $100K BMW bump into a parked pick up. This left me very unsettled leaving my car in their care. Nevertheless I did. 2) I called to have my car brought around Sat morning so I could retrieve an item I had left in the car. Attendant was somewhat rude and dismissive on the phone as well as in person. 3) After checking out, the valet process was, once again, pure chaos. I understand this is somewhat to be expected at 11AM on a Sunday. But again, there seemed to be no organization, no system, and just general disfunction with little care for the guest experience. Then, I witnessed an enraged guest screaming profanities because his car had been badly damaged while in the care of the valet service. There was easily $1,000 worth of body damage to his car. Finally after 30 min of waiting, my car was retrieved. No remorse or apology for the wait or overall experience. In general, very nice hotel and stay that was severely diminished by the valet experience. Bottom line, if you're going to force driving guests to pay $36 per night for a valet service, it needs to be far more efficient, friendly, and people need to feel comfortable leaving their vehicles.

By the end of my stay - I felt like a celebrity or someone famous.
Reviewed By princedemondedwardsBecause I am a Amex Platinum member - my room was upgraded in addition to my access to some of the extra benefits. My room was nothing special, outside of the high floor - the view wasn't the best. But I chose that without knowledge of what I would be seeing. Personally, I am not a call down and complain or visit the desk when social distancing is available. They had on the Hilton app a messaging system that was absolutely amazing. The response was absolutely quick and regardless of how mundane or weird my question was - they were answered quickly. Being from the Chicagoland area - you become accustomed to certain things and how they are just available. There is no shop in the Hilton open late, so for me working a convention. I couldn't get simple things that I would have loved. I.e. Chocolate milk to go with my cookies or just a bag of chips. The highlight was going up the the Executive Lounge and grabbing my breakfast before the day started. Overall it was good food, outside of the nasty link sausage - which they should truly get rid of. They were horrible. They did a check to see how my stay was going and I told them they were currently at a 7.5 and why: they had oatmeal daily and the sausage links. I like bacon. Before the end of the day - they had spoke with the Food and Beverage director and he gave the directive to prepare some grits and ensure that there was bacon available for the remainder of my stay. When I arrived on the floor, the host jumped up to alert the folks that needed to know. I got my bacon and a fresh batch of grits. There was a snafu with housekeeping and picking up the dishes - but again, after mentioning it in the Hilton chat - they were quickly resolved, which is exactly what you would hope for. I enjoyed my 10 days / 9 nights in the Hilton. Thanks to Shavella, Mackenzie, Claudia, Betty, Monica and the other outstanding staff at the Hilton.

Reviewed By coltonjameslee94The valet aggressively pulled out in the hotel suburban and didn’t look. He almost hit me. Then when we both stopped he tried to cut me off yet again waving his hands around angrily. Complete lack of situation awareness.
