Summary: We were really looking forward to staying at The Lancaster Hotel. We booked and paid for our stay back in April 2026 after doing a lot of research, as we wanted to have a great experience in Houston. There are many things we truly love about this hotel. The location and overall quality are excellent, and the complimentary breakfast and in-room snacks were a nice touch. The artwork throughout the hotel is absolutely amazing. Under normal circumstances, we would easily give this hotel 5 stars. However, during our stay on Saturday, June 13, 2026 (one night for two adults and one child), we paid around $680, plus an additional $58 for valet parking (though we chose to park nearby instead). While the price felt reasonable for the location and quality, our experience was affected by an issue in the room. Unfortunately, the bathroom sink was not working properly and was completely clogged. I couldn’t even brush my teeth (see photo and video). It appears to be a plumbing issue. It was disappointing to encounter this problem, although I understand that things can happen. I reported the issue to the front desk at 9:00 AM when we checked out, and I hope it has been passed along to the maintenance team. So far, we have not received any follow-up communication regarding this issue. Because of this experience, I have to give the hotel 3 stars instead of 5. I sincerely hope the hotel can address this problem (Room 609) so that future guests do not encounter the same issue. At this pric

Summary: The same staff has been there for many many years. The management always greets us, the front desk remembers us, the valet does too. The bartender knows what we drink and we only stay there one night every 3 or 4 months. They have a great selection of cocktails and mocktails. Room is always clean with a special treat left in your room such as fresh fruit or macaroons. My favorite place to stay in downtown Houston.
