The first room we were put in had an old smell and it had an adjoining door (which I do not like unless I request it) and the Tv only had 1 channel, I voiced my concerns and they moved us to a much nicer room, very friendly and helpful staff, I would go back

Zero common sense and absurd "policy".
I reserved 3 rooms. I assigned different names for each room. One of the guests could not make it until much later. They would not release the room without him being present and showing ID. Absurd! Manager wouldn't budge. There were 2 guests in that room, so the guest present didn't have his room! I have never had such ridiculous, non-sensical experience. I couldn't get the room I reserved and I paid for!!! Also, dirty (under renovation and it shows), broken headboard, power plugs not working, and one of the worse breakfasts I have had (how much can one dilute juices and still label them juices? Really?)

Will never return!!!
We arrived at the hotel to find that the property was under construction that I was unaware of . There was no shuttle bus as listed . The room had a very weird smell in the beds headboard and foot boards are covered in stains. The headboards aren’t even attached to anything so the headboard was leaning on the bed .
We ordered pizza and someone stole my order as the front desk lady knew who had my pizza because she watched the lady take it .
There was loud music playing in the hall way and one lady dance with very little clothes on .

Could be great
This property shows a bit of wear and tear that makes it feel a little grimy in places. They are working on it and it is apparent that at one time it was quite swanky. The location is great for attending events at any of the Houston stadiums so that’s a big plus and they have free parking.

The room smelled musty and there wasn't anywhere in the shower to place your soap. The front desk and bartender were great.

Love this place!
They have always been so kind and the facility is always clean (and still is). I had to ask for towels and wash cloths the last couple of visits, which I found odd. But they didn’t question it and apologized. I will still return for my visits. Always clean, beds are so comfortable, room is spacious. Area is safe and easy access to medical center and eating places

We keep coming back!
This was the second time my husband and I have stayed at Hotel Ylem. The hotel is only about an 8 minute drive to MD Anderson.
The staff are great. Always kind and helpful. Tony was a great bar tender.
The rooms are very spacious.
You do see some wear and tear but everything is clean.
The neighborhood has lots of food options and a Target and Kroger's right around the corner.
Breakfast was pancakes, bacon, eggs, cereal, muffins and other things. Yummy!
Just a few cons: the shower water takes FOREVER to heat up. Seriously, turn the shower on before you even have all of your things together and it may be warm when you step in.
A tray or table to eat on would be great instead of eating on the bed.
We had no clue how to use the coffee pot. Water kept leaking everywhere.
Shelves in the shower and a soap dish by the sink would be so helpful.
Lamps on the bedside tables would great!
Besides these things, we would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.
