"Close to our wedding venue"
My room had not been replenished after the previous guest. When I brought it to their attention that my mini bar and snack tray was missing items, instead of restocking it they came and cleared everything out so I had no snacks or drinks in my room. Very disappointed in the customer service!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location, expensive valet only parking"
The location was perfect. The room was nice but the mandatory valet (no self park offered) was ridiculously priced at over $25/night. That valet charge can add up quickly...ouch!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was great"Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a family location"
The hotel appeared nice on the website. However, the service was atrocious. We booked a room with two double beds. The bathroom had two towels. We always travel with face towels. The bath towel was hard. My baby a three year old refused to use it. We called down to get more towels(better) and after a second call and 45 minutes later we received the […] same quality towels. When we called the front desk again, we were told that they are all the same. The refrigerator was old and stuck. The wall sockets didnt work. This was a horrible experience.

"Awesome!!"
I love Hotel Derek! The bed was comfortable, the room stylish, the staff helpful. The only downside to this hotel is that there is no parking and you have to valet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Won't stay again"
The hotel, in general is okay and modern on the surface, but feels like old 70s once you get to the room. Most importantly, I was disappointed to find out AFTER checkout that they charge $29 for parking and that is not readily disclosed beforehand. When we arrived, I asked the valet if I could park my own vehicle and she said sorry, that is not allowed. […] They have parking around the perimeter of the garage they use, but they won't let YOU park it there, they will park it and charge you. In my case I paid approx $60 for one night as I had two vehicles. When I questioned the receptionist of the charges, she said "Sorry, we have no other parking options at this time and there is nothing I can do for you!". I kindly stated that I would not stay at the hotel again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Lacked Customer Service"
We stayed overnight on Friday evening after my wedding. When we arrived in the room after the wedding (around 3am) we found a letter stating "congratulations from Hotel Derek and we would receive a free complimentary 3-course dinner". The next morning while checking out of the hotel we asked if we could return Saturday evening for our dinner and we […] were told No. The Manager stated that she had never seen that letter before we could only use it for breakfast. We explained the letter stated dinner and we were told that the offer expired once we checked out of the hotel. I thought that was very poor customer service. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convienient location"
I was very pleased overall... excellent service and a great value for the location. The restaurant could use some more variety on the menu but as Sullivan's is just a few steps away there was a solution!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to all must-see sights"
Very nice hotel. Clean, excellent service. Valet-only parking. On a very busy corner, so a little hard to get in and out of traffic. Rooms were stylish and comfortable, but not very well-lit.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great Hotel, it's unique and worth a visit"
I thought the hotel was great and fun to walk around. I thought the valet cost was a surprise and I felt very rushed when I pulled up each time. The room was appointed with an art deco style that worked well. The only issue with the room was the starbucks coffee maker. It took several tmes pressing the power button for the full amount of water to s […] teep. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

location is right next to the main 610 loop . difficult to get in and out of this hotel without police escourt. Traffic is none stop. to cross the road to go to the Grotto restraunt police have to be ther ordered breakfast at Valentions, one scrambled eggs toast and salsa ,one pancakes and fruit . pancakes and fruit were perfect , scrambled eggs came […] out no toast no salsa ,waited 13 mins no waitress find someone to find her .she had forgot to bring toast and salsa , 10 mins later brought the toast no salsa my eggs very cold . I tell the buss boy to get the waitress for salsa NO SIGN of the waitess ask manager he comes running to apologise. The salsa now arrives. Hiram was very nice took everything away cooked the b'fast himself and served exactly what I had ordered and hour ago. We ate b'fast at Le Peep next door the following day PERFECT!! Called for our car to the hotel whilst we were finishing our breakfast at Le Peep, gave them the ticket number and our room # walked back to the hotel NO car. Told the valet we called 15 mins ago , same info Rm # ticket # we went to the desk to ask what is the problem? 20 mins later here comes the car. For $23 dollars a day parking this is unacceptable. no place to park your own car at hotel have NO option. room is pretty, clean ,. No fan in the bathroom to and very small . We will not stay at the Derek Hotel again Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Not as nice as the photos"
Bed was very uncomfortable. Parking is an issue, valet only and $23 per night, not to mention VERY slow at retrieving the vehicle. I would pass on this hotel in the future. Has a "wanna-be "W"" feel to it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Derek"
Was giving a very small room for two. Sheets were dirty so it took a while to change that. There were no cups or silverware in the room. Mini bar was halfway empty. Food we brought got really cold by the time they were done changing the sheets and checking if everything was correct in the roomGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Close to sights and great location."
I enjoyed the stay. The room was clean and nice. The staff was polite. It however, seemed all business and not inviting. Like the hotel was a bank turned hotel. I like a more luxury and it felt more like I was leaving a bar or a restaurant everytime valet brought our car. I felt rushed. Plus my cart was never running it was always parked and we ended […] up having to wait still. Just didn't seem personal and we stayed there for two nights. I do have to say I loved comforatable bed but lighting not so great. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

It takes at least 10-20 minutes to get your car from valet. Calling down prior to leaving may help speed up the process. The beds lack the plush pillow tops compared to similar modern hotels.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Noisy...."
The rooms have thin walls...we could hear the people in the next room talking. The fire alarm went off twice in the same night...not a very restful night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"One night stay"
Stayed for one night, when checking in valet was a bit rude but the staff inside was extremely friendly and apologized for the behavior. Hotel room was clean, bed was by far the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in at any hotel. Hotel was under construction but the noise was minimal and I could not hear anything in my room. Great hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very nice upscale hotel located within walking distance to the galleria. Great price as well!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
