GreenTree Inn Hotels in Houston

ZERO STARS. This was, by far, the WORST ”hotel” that I have ever had the displeasure of spending my money on. The beds were decently comfortable, but that is just about the only thing that wasn’t terrible. Check-in: There was no early check-in option; we had to wait until exactly 3 pm because ”housekeeping is still cleaning.” However, our rooms were still dirty upon arrival. There were several stains, some resembling old, dried blood and others like spilled coffee. Crumbs on the floor, hair in the bathrooms and on the beds, and obvious years of dust around the air conditioning units. Front Desk: There was no working printer or copy machine, and the deposit ”agreement” was handwritten with a permanent marker. When we asked for a copy, the disheveled front desk employee said that we could take a picture. My husband made him write a second one. Getting the deposit back went surprisingly smooth, though. Amenities: Both rooms had no extra toilet paper, and the rolls present had been used. One room had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash but no hand soap, while the other had hand soap and a broken lotion dispenser with no shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. When we called about hand soap, we were told housekeeping would bring it, but they never did. Room Issues: One room's telephone didn’t work, and the terrible front desk employee told me I had to get towels myself since he couldn’t leave the front desk. The room carpets were dirty, and the outside carpeting was filthy as well. The in-room coffee machines had no cups, ice bucket, or actual coffee. Most of the plugs were loose or simply didn’t work. Most of the linens were stained with unknown substances. Other Problems: We were told there were no available adjoining rooms, yet one of our rooms had a door to the neighboring room that I never saw anyone use. There was a roach sighting, which landed on my husband’s sandwich. A guest had warned us about them during check-in. The cable was supposedly out due to a recent storm, but the WiFi worked. We brought our own streaming devices to try and enjoy some part of the stay. Employee Conduct: The employees were unprofessional, unprepared, unhelpful, and unwelcoming. Facilities: Only one elevator worked. The ”continental breakfast” was waffles and cereal. Our keys deactivated several times over our two-day stay. Shuttle Service: The ”complimentary airport shuttle” was just a Lyft the hotel calls. I confirmed the complimentary service before arrival, but it was not as expected. They told me to write my phone number on a sticky note - when my husband went down later to remind them that we had six people and nine pieces of luggage, they said they couldn’t confirm that the Lyft would be big enough and only management could order it. We had to order and pay for our own Lyfts. I’ve stayed at many cheap hotels, and at the very least, the employees were decent. Good customer service can go a long way and can be helpful in situations like this, but we didn’
