My stay at Hotel Icon was a mix of positive experiences and a few letdowns. The decor is striking, showcasing a 1940s aesthetic that I loved. I appreciated the complimentary snacks and juice in the evenings, which were refreshing against Houston's humidity. However, I was disappointed by the lack of a pool and the outdated television in my room.

I loved the bathroom in my King Room; it was spacious and had amazing water pressure. The bed was also incredibly comfortable. However, the room size felt smaller than I had hoped, and the view was not the best since I was only on the third floor.

Most staff members were polite and helpful, but I had a less than pleasant experience during check-in with a lady who treated me rudely. On the bright side, the staff made an effort to make up for an early morning disturbance by offering free breakfast.

My stay at Hotel Icon was nice. the blend of vintage charm and modern amenities was truly a treat. The lobby's classical decor welcomed me warmly, while the staff's friendliness made me feel right at home. However, the towels in my room were a bit too rough for my liking, and I experienced a delay with room service during a busy weekend. Overall, I'd rate my experience quite high, but there are a few areas for improvement.
