OYO Hotel Houston N Fm-1960 Champions TX

Roaches everywhere, and the rooms smell bad and look nothing like the photos. The floor was disgusting; walking around left my feet black. The sheets weren’t changed, with food underneath them, along with blood and cigarette burns. My skin was crawling. Sometimes the water came out brown, too. They quoted one price over the phone, then added $25-50 when we arrived, and charged my card another $50 after checkout. The man claimed we had pets, though we didn’t. We fed some stray cats outside, but he still charged us. They don’t clean the rooms. Save your time and stay somewhere else.

The room was decent, and the stay was nice. The AC was a bit loud, but it worked.

The room smelled odd when I walked in, and there was a bug on the wall. The fees were the bigger problem, though. Each new booking came with another $25 deposit, and they charged me $68 online and $65 in person. The listed rate said $56 a night, so I don’t understand why it was really $68. One man in the office told me I didn’t need another deposit because I’d already paid one, but the next morning a woman asked for one again when I went to pay for the room. I’ve stayed at plenty of Oyo hotels, and they don’t do half of this. They keep adding fees and playing games with the prices. Stay away.

It’s affordable, but feels sketchy. I’ve stayed here a few times, and the TV doesn’t always work. Some long-term guests hang around outside, and the thin walls mean you can hear people in nearby rooms.
