If you are like me and you enjoy unique hotels instead of boring, stale ones, then you're in luck with wanderstay Boutique hotel. I loved the decor in the room and bathroom and the bed was so amazing and soft. They even have a pillow bar where you borrow a pillow that helps you sleep better. The area of the hotel is also so convenient as there is a bus stop and metro literally right outside their front door. Loved the stay so much.

One thing to note is that Wanderstay is more of an intimate, boutique experience, so don’t expect the same amenities as a big hotel (like 24-hour room service or a gym), but the trade-off is a more personalized and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always making sure I had what I needed. There's also a neighborhood gym...

The staff were super friendly and helpful, always making sure I had what I needed. There's also a neighborhood gym right by the hotel also. Overall, I’d recommend Wanderstay to anyone looking for a cozy and creative place to stay in Houston. It’s perfect for couples or solo travelers who want something different from the typical hotel experience. Also- if you are headed to the convention center, there is a metro just 2 minutes away.

I recently stayed at Wanderstay Boutique Hotel for a weekend getaway, and it was a really pleasant experience. The location is perfect—right in East Downtown Houston, so it was easy to get to some cool restaurants and bars nearby. The hotel itself is small but cozy, with only 10 rooms, which gave it a really intimate vibe. Each room has a unique theme, and the one I stayed in was fun and well-decorated. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was clean and had everything I needed. The hotel is adults-only, which made it feel quiet and peaceful—ideal for a relaxing stay. What I appreciated most was how friendly the staff was. They were super helpful and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. Also, the booking process was straightforward with no surprise fees, which I really liked. Overall, it’s a great spot if you're looking for a boutique hotel that’s a little different from the usual chains. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Houston!

I loved how you needed codes to even enter the area to get to the main entrance as well as how cozy and inviting the lobby was. The room was very clean and well kept.
